Banana Brulee Frappuccino

Bananas are the most familiar fruit eaten in Japan. Despite their delicious taste, 20,000 tons (*1) of bananas are discarded annually around the world because they fall outside of strict standards due to overripeness, flaws, and other reasons. The Banana Brûlée Frappuccino was created with the aim of taking action to give back to the producers in a positive way, while tasting good and not wasting anything on the earth. Together with the two newly introduced desserts, we expect to use approximately 3 million "Mottainai Bananas" (*2).

1 The number of bananas produced in the Philippines by Dole Co.
*2 The weight of one raw banana (with peel) is defined as 150g (5.29oz), and the number of "Mottainai Banana" ingredients used in the planned sales of "Banana Brulee Frappuccino", "Banana Rice Flour Muffin" and "Banana Rice Flour Roll Cake" is calculated based on the amount of ingredients used in the "Banana Brulee Frappuccino", "Banana Rice Flour Muffin" and "Banana Rice Flour Roll Cake".

Inspired by the dessert of caramelized bananas (a method of burning sugar until it becomes caramelized), this drink allows you to fully enjoy the deep sweetness of ripe bananas and the bitter caramel flavor. The star of the Frappuccino is the pulp sauce made from ripe bananas poured into the bottom of the Frappuccino. The sweetness and gentle sourness of ripe bananas are well-balanced and cool down your body in early summer.

The almond milk Frappuccino and whipped cream are paired with the banana pulp, and the caramel sauce, which has a slightly bitter flavor, is added on top of the whipped cream. Also mixed in are brûlée chips, which have a fun texture like burnt and crushed sugar. The crunchy mouthfeel that pops through the straw stands out as an accent.

The first sip is the sweetness of the banana, the second is the bitter flavor of the caramel, and the third is the pleasant crunchy texture of the brûlée chips. Tall size only. Tall size only, 678 yen to-go, 690 yen in-store (tax included, same below).

Almond milk is used.
* Almond milk is not milk or a dairy drink, but this product contains dairy ingredients.
