When people say "limited", they can't help but try the eating editorial department. I went to the Meguro store to see what it tasted like!

When I ordered at the counter, I asked the staff, "What's the difference with the usual Frappuccino?", And when I asked the staff, it was finished by sprinkling espresso from above, and because it was made by mixing fresh cream with milk, " You can enjoy a richer taste than the usual vanilla cream Frappuccino. " I see.

Of course, the recommended boards at the store are also limited to Frappuccino

By the way, while doing so, the Frappuccino I ordered was completed.

The moment it is served is just after pouring the espresso, so the top is amber. Within a few seconds, it gradually soaked into the milky white milk, and the whole changed to beige ... but the series of gradations happened so quickly that I failed to take a picture. I'm sorry ... I'm sorry !! Please check at the store ...!

When you regain your mind and take a sip, the mellow espresso scent passes through your nose, and the crispy ice and mellow milk roll smoothly on your tongue. This is definitely creamy! Since the espresso is poured at the end, you can feel the aroma of the beans more.

If you drink while mixing little by little, you can enjoy the gradation of taste as well as the color!

By the way, according to the Starbucks official blog, the method of "pouring espresso from above" is limited to the Meguro store. I don't usually drink sweet coffee, but this Frappuccino is excellent! It was a refreshing and very easy-to-drink drink because it had no persistent sweetness and the bittersweet flavor of espresso remained in the mouth afterwards.

There are 3 Starbucks stores near Meguro Station, but there is no doubt that the limited Frappuccino will only be available at the "Meguro Store" on the 1st floor of the Shin-Meguro Tokyu Building!
