Starbucks Japan has once again captivated the hearts of beverage aficionados by infusing traditional Japanese flavors with its iconic Frappuccino. Building on the seasonal favorite influenced by Wimbledon's strawberries and cream, the coffee giant has introduced the Matcha Ichigo Cream Frappuccino.
According to SoraNews 24, this inventive offering not only tantalizes the taste buds but also plays on words, combining the Japanese term for strawberry, "ichigo," which can also denote "one" ("ichi") and "five" ("go"), to highlight the significance of its release date on May 15.
The Perfect Blend of Matcha and Strawberry
The Matcha Ichigo Cream Frappuccino elevates Starbucks' beloved Matcha Cream Frappuccino with an inviting swirl of strawberry sauce. This harmonious fusion of bitter matcha and sweet, tart strawberries is crafted to be a seasonal delicacy, reflective of the vibrant green and red colors that visually celebrate Japanese aesthetics.
A press release noted that those eager to savor this unique concoction must act swiftly; it will only grace the menu from May 15 to May 28.
Berry Enthusiasts Rejoice!
For those who might miss out on the Matcha variant or prefer their Frappuccinos fruitier, the Wimbledon-inspired Strawberry Frappuccino will remain available until Sept. 3. Additionally, Starbucks hints at a chocolate customization hack to enliven your summer beverage experience further.
The limited-time Matcha Strawberry Cream Frappuccino is priced at 678 yen for takeout and 690 yen for dine-in. It offers a special treat for those seeking an indulgent, fruity green tea drink.
Limited Time, Nationwide Availability
Starbucks' Matcha Strawberry Cream Frappuccino promises a visually striking and satisfyingly flavorful experience. Available from Wednesday, May 15, 2024, to Tuesday, May 28, 2024, this limited-time offering warns of potential early sell-outs or temporary stock shortages.
With a nationwide rollout in Japan (excluding some stores), the brand invites customers to immerse themselves in a spirited blend of cultural reverence and innovative drink crafting at a welcoming price.
