The Starbucks Japan Sakura Saku Saku Matcha Frappuccino is Spring-Ready

— February 23, 2023 — Lifestyle
The Starbucks Japan Sakura Saku Saku Matcha Frappuccino has been unveiled as an upcoming menu item from the cafe brand that will offer a taste of spring for patrons. The drink features a Matcha Cream Frappuccino base that's topped with whipped cream and finished with a crunchy Sakura Saku Saku Topping. This topping consists of crushed macaron pieces with a cherry blossom-inspired flavor to have them act like petals on top of the rich drink.

The Starbucks Japan Sakura Saku Saku Matcha Frappuccino is being offered for a short time only starting on March 1, while mobile app users can order it early from February 24 until March 14, 2023. The aforementioned Sakura Saku Saku Topping is also being offered as an add-on option for any drink.
