The new Starbucks has a Japanese taste that has changed the atmosphere from holidays! "Azuki Nako Warabimochi Fuku Frappuccino" and "Azuki Nako Fuku Latte" will be on sale from December 26th to January 16th, 2020 (finished as soon as they are sold out).
Focusing on ingredients called lucky charms, we develop products with the theme of "fortune". Japanese ingredients such as azuki beans, which are said to exterminate evil spirits, and warabimochi and kinako are used. I tried drinking Japanese-style Beverage first!
◆ Frappuccino
"Azuki Nako Warabimochi Fuku Frappuccino" is a cup of original warabimochi, Hokkaido whole soybean kinako, anko sauce, and coffee. The whipped cream is topped with freeze-dried azuki beans. The price is 590 yen (excluding tax) for tall size.
When I was thrilled by the new experience of "sucking up the warabimochi with a straw", the warabimochi immediately went into my mouth. While bouncing, it slides down into the back of your throat. Authentic school that seems to be sold at Japanese sweets shops in terms of texture and taste.
Not to mention the compatibility of azuki beans, soybean flour, and warabimochi. The coffee flavor is not so strong, but it assists the aroma of soybean flour well. Crispy freeze-dried azuki beans on plenty of whipped cream are a pleasant accent. Frappuccino where you can enjoy the rich Japanese flavor.
◆ Latte
"Azukinako Fuku Latte" is a hot beverage that combines freshly extracted espresso with anko sauce, soybean flour, and milk. The material used is similar to Frappuccino, but with a different atmosphere. The mellow richness and mild sweetness melt together, and when you drink it, your face will unravel. A cup that gently envelops the body and mind that have shrunk in the cold. The price starts from 450 yen (excluding tax) for the short size.
Japanese Beverage that makes you feel relieved during the busy New Year holidays. I hope 2020 will be a year with a lot of "fortune"!
