Regionally Inspired Frappuccinos

These 47 Starbucks Japan Frappuccinos Represent Each Prefecture

— June 23, 2021 — Lifestyle
Fans of Starbucks Japan Frappuccinos will be delighted to find more options on the menu than ever thanks to 47 new additions inspired by each of the country's prefectures. Since 2021 marks the 25th anniversary of the United States coffeehouse chain going abroad for the first time, Starbucks Japan is marking the opening of the Tokyo location with special drinks.

The 47 Jimoto Frappuccinos, meaning "local," shares stories from across the country through flavor. Each of the beverages was developed by collecting ideas from employees from across the different prefectures. The Hokkaido Frappuccino, for example, celebrates the island's well-known specialties of milk, sugar cane and corn. The Tokyo Frappuccino is a special drink prepared with the brand’s premium Tokyo Roast blend, coffee jelly pieces, whipped cream and caramel sauce.
