Starbucks Japan is celebrating the arrival of autumn with two exclusive drinks: the returning Pumpkin Spice Latte and the new Yaki-imo Kobashi Caramel Frappuccino. Available from September 4, these seasonal offerings capture the essence of fall flavors, providing a unique experience for customers.
Starbucks Japan Welcomes Autumn with the Return of Pumpkin Spice Latte and Exclusive Seasonal Delights
As the autumn breeze whispers, Starbucks is set to unveil its exclusive, limited-edition offerings that encapsulate the unique essence of the season. These are not just drinks and a special treat but a privilege reserved for our valued customers, adding an element of exclusivity to your Starbucks experience.
First up is the much-loved Pumpkin Spice Latte, a drink that triumphantly returns to Japan after a 15-year hiatus. Its unique espresso blend and spicy pumpkin puree sauce deliver unique fall flavors. This year, it's back with a twist, available hot or cold in various sizes and priced between 530-671 yen (US$3.67-$4.64). The Pumpkin Spice Latte will be available from 4 September to 31 October, promising a taste adventure with its unique twist.
Starbucks Japan Introduces Yaki-imo Kobashi Caramel Frappuccino, a Tribute to Autumn Traditions
Introducing the new "Yaki-imo Kobashi Caramel Frappuccino," a unique creation inspired by Japan's beloved autumn tradition of baked sweet potatoes. The name reflects the drink's aromatic baked sweet potato flavor, complemented by a slightly bittersweet, thick caramel sauce. This sauce visualizes the changing seasons, blending with the drink to evoke a sense of autumn. The addition of vanilla brings out the hidden notes of a canelé, a traditional French pastry with a soft center and caramelized crust. Crispy, salty-sweet imo kenpi (sugar-coated sweet potato chips) are scattered throughout the drink, mimicking the texture of a canelé and adding a delightful crunch.
The Yaki-imo Kobashi Caramel Frappuccino will be available from 4 September to 10 October, priced at 687 yen for takeout or 700 yen for dine-in. But here's a special treat just for you, our Starbucks Rewards members can savor this new beverage before anyone else on 2-3 September. It's our way of showing our appreciation for your loyalty.
