Today (December 22nd), the winter solstice, the Starbucks Coffee Shinjuku Southern Terrace store has started pre-sale of the last new drinks of the year, "Chocolate Crumble Coco" and "Chocolate Crumble Coco Frappuccino" (all stores are on sale 12). 26th of March).


The other day , when I announced that I was eating, I (the author) did not overlook the fact that there were some voices on Twitter etc. saying "It looks very sweet". Certainly, it was likened to a "drinking chocolate cake," and honestly, I thought it would be sweet to the iron. But! When I actually drank it, I would like to report here that the taste was strong but not too sweet and it was insanely delicious!

So, please take a look at the whole picture of the new drink below.

◆ “Drinking chocolate cake” chocolate crumble coco

Chocolate Crumble Coco (starting at 560 yen plus tax) is a chocolate drink that is a mixture of crumbled biscotti and cacao nibs, topped with whipped cream, biscotti, cacao nibs, and shaved chocolate.

Chocolate syrup that has been renewed to be more flavorful is used. It doesn't contain coffee, which means it's rich hot cocoa .


From the first bite, the texture of whipped cream, crushed cacao nibs, and crispy crumbles folds luxuriously! Chewing cacao nibs will increase the bitterness, and melting whipped cream or chocolate will increase the richness and sweetness, and the taste will change with each bite.


On the other hand, chocolate crumble coco frappuccino (short tax not included 420 yen) also uses renewed chocolate syrup. Mix biscotti and cacao nibs in a chocolate-based frappuccino, topped with whipped cream, shaved chocolate, and cube-cut gateau chocolate.


It's a rich chocolate-based frappe from top to bottom, but it's crisp and cold so it feels refreshing. In addition to the crispy ice, I drink while chewing various textures such as biscotti and cacao nibs, so it seems that I am no longer a drink but a taste of ice cake. This is what "drinking chocolate cake" means!


You can eat the topping gateau chocolate while breaking it, but personally, I recommend adding plenty of whipped cream and cheeking it as it is. You can enjoy the crispy texture of chocolate and the melting of whipped cream at the same time.


◆ There is also "white chocolate"!

Actually, I also learned today ... "White chocolate" using white chocolate, "White chocolate crumble coco" (from 560 yen excluding tall tax) and "Same frappuccino" (from 420 yen excluding short tax) are also on sale. Turns out to be! In other words, there are a total of 4 new drinks at the end of this year.


White chocolate crumble Coco is a hot drink that combines white mocha syrup and milk, topped with whipped cream and white chocolate biscotti, cacao nibs, and shaved white chocolate. It's a rich cocoa made with white chocolate .


On the other hand, White Chocolate Crumble Coco Frappuccino is a Frappuccino blended with white mocha syrup and milk mixed with ice, mixed with biscotti and cacao nibs that retain the texture. Topped with whipped cream, shaved white chocolate, and cube-shaped gateau chocolate.


In both cases, milk, white chocolate and whipped cream are mixed, and you can enjoy the rich richness and melting sweetness. Still, the sharpness that doesn't catch on is a good impression! There is no "burning sweetness" that is typical of white chocolate, and you won't get bored on the way. It was delicious that I wanted to repeat.

By the way, Biscotti, which is used in all four products, is baked with lemon oil as a secret ingredient in the dough. It has a slight citrus flavor, so you can enjoy a sweet drink until the end.

◆ Shinjuku Southern Terrace is now a “white Starbucks”

Now. The Shinjuku Southern Terrace store, which sells new drinks in advance, is transforming into the first "white Starbucks" in Japan. The exterior and interior look different than usual, so you can feel the excitement of a casual boy in a T-shirt jeans suddenly deciding on a suit.



The ceiling, walls, tables and chairs are all "white"! Fluffy white sponge (it seems to be a sound absorbing material) is stretched all over the store, and it looks like fresh snow. I haven't seen snow in Tokyo lately, so it's very fresh. It will be romantic even after dark!


Only the Shinjuku Southern Terrace store can enjoy the world of silver. It will remain as it is until January 12, 2016, so you may be able to enjoy White Christmas (feeling) even in the middle of Tokyo where you can't expect snowfall yet!

Also, when you are in a pure white store, your heart will naturally become pure white, so it is recommended for people who want to flush various things at the end of this year. Let's bleach everything that we did in 2015. (I hope I can do it)
