Starbucks Coffee Japan unveils a warm and toasty delight for the winter season with the limited-time introduction of the 'Gianduja Chocolate Mocha,' available from January 17, 2024, at participating Starbucks Japan locations. Designed to be a Valentine's release, the new beverage relies on chocolate flavors for the base of the drink.

The 'Gianduja Chocolate Mocha' combines espresso and milk with a gianduja chocolate-flavored sauce, delivering a rich and flavorful experience that intertwines the subtle hazelnut aroma, the gentle sweetness of chocolate, and the bitterness of coffee.

The new seasonal beverage will be offered in all Starbucks sizes, including short, tall, grande, and venti. The coffee will be on menus starting January 17 through February 14, arriving just in time for the heartfelt Valentine's season.
