Even though not a Japanese company, Starbucks is one of the most popular coffee shops in Japan. Starbucks is known for launching new drinks to commemorate special days and festivals and V-Day remains a popular one. For Valentine's Day 2022, Starbucks has released new delicious beverages as well as V-day themed cups, mugs & tumblers that will captivate your hearts. These will be available till February 14, 2022.
Let's start with the Drinks menu. There are three special Valentine's edition drinks, and the most popular one is the Triple Nama Chocolate Frappuccino.
An intense chocolatey drink, doesn't it look amazing. This Frappuccino is made using chocolate sauce and freshly whipped cream. With a smooth, creamy texture, you can fully enjoy the aroma of chocolate well-suited for this magical day full of love.
Chocolate sauce is added at the bottom of your cup and squeezed on top of the cream.
Even the cup is coated with chocolate sauce. Quite decadent!
Make sure to stir the drink well all the way from the bottom to the top. Skipping this will make the drink taste extremely sweet.
For those not too keen on chocolate, try the new Baked & Creamy Nama White Chocolate Frappuccino. This drink combines the flavors of baked white chocolate with a hint of coffee in the white chocolate for a lovely, deep taste that will remind you of caramel.
Now its time to look at the V-Day merchandise. A total of 22 items are available, all featuring the heart motif. Aren't these unbelievably cute?
We recommend buying this tumbler as the white above the blue hearts looks like Mt. Fuji.
If you're looking for gifts, these individually wrapped chocolates are inexpensive and perfect for friends or relatives.
There's also a heart-shaped Starbucks Japan member card, which is available in limited quantities.
With the ban on plastic bags at supermarkets and other stores, this V-Day eco bag also makes for a fabulous present. The message on it will warm your heart too.
Even though Valentine's Day products may look the same every year, these are collectables for many. So if you live in Japan, do check them out! ♡
