Starbucks Japan has unveiled its latest collectible, a miniature Matcha Cream Frappuccino, as part of the "Miniature Collection 'To Go.'" This lifelike replica is available exclusively to Rewards members with 400 stars and adds to the appeal of the chain’s unique offerings.
Starbucks Rewards Unveils Miniature Collection, Featuring Tiny Replicas of Popular Menu Items
With a continuous array of limited-edition sweets and Frappuccinos, Starbucks in Japan always draws in customers. The chain adds further appeal by offering a rewards program. According to SoraNews24, this program allows returning patrons to earn points, or “stars,” that can be exchanged for various exclusive goods, ensuring that frequent visitors are rewarded.
This month, members of Starbucks Rewards will find a tempting new addition to the lineup—the “Miniature Collection ‘To Go.’” As the name implies, this set is modeled after a “To Go” order, featuring scaled-down replicas of some of Starbucks’ most popular items. The set includes a Chocolate Chunk Scone and an American Waffle, designed with intricate attention to detail. Each piece of chocolate, the crispy baked surfaces, and even the paper bags and napkins are carefully crafted to mimic the real-life versions.
The Miniature Matcha Frappuccino Stands Out in Starbucks Japan’s Exclusive Rewards Collection
However, the collection's highlight is the miniature Matcha Cream Frappuccino, which captivates with its lifelike appearance. A removable lid and straw further enhance its realism, adding to its charm.
Compared to the full-size menu items, the accuracy and detail of the miniatures are striking, making them an ideal collectible for Starbucks enthusiasts. Fans of the previous “For Here” miniature collection, released earlier in the year, will especially appreciate this new set. However, obtaining it requires dedication, as the collection is available only to Starbucks Rewards members who have accumulated 400 stars. With one star awarded for every 54 yen (approximately US$0.35) spent, customers would need to spend around 20,000 yen (US$131.12) to earn the miniature set—though indulging in the chain’s premium offerings could help speed up the process.
