At Starbucks, a new frappe "Chocolate Cake Top Frappuccino with Matcha Shot" that combines matcha and chocolate will be released on June 14th.

I saw some voices on the internet saying "it looks sweet" and "it looks heavy", but what about it? I was allowed to taste it a little earlier!


In conclusion ... it's not heavy at all!

The bitterness of matcha and chocolate is strong and not sweet. The aftertaste is refreshing and sharp, so it seems easy to drink even on hot days!

◆ Taste review

A vanilla-based frappuccino mixed with finely crushed almonds is topped with a whole large chocolate cake and sprinkled with matcha sauce. Topped with whipped cream and matcha powder.

By the way, the chocolate cake is completely different from the previously sold Frappuccino gateau chocolate. It seems that it was newly developed for this time.


You can scoop up the chocolate cake with a spoon and eat it, or you can break it with a wide straw and mix it with a frappe. It's soft so the straw can pass through smoothly.

When eaten as it is, it melts delicately in the mouth and melts moistly to spread the bitter taste. Even if it is broken into granules, the rich taste of chocolate and the texture of the mashed chocolate are firm and satisfying!


Matcha sauce has an elegant sweetness and has the bitterness and deep umami peculiar to matcha. It goes well with a rich chocolate cake! It complements each other's aroma and bitter taste.

The bitterness of chocolate and matcha is combined with the sweetness and richness of whipped cream and vanilla in a well-balanced manner, making it insanely delicious! The crispy almonds that you sometimes feel (which becomes crispy when moist) are also fragrant, further boosting the dessert feeling of the entire frappe.


The recommended way to drink is to first scoop the cake with a spoon, entangle it with matcha sauce or whipped cream, then break the rest of the cake and mix it with the frappe to enjoy the change in taste. It's a great deal, so please try eating the cake alone, because it's so delicious!

The sale period is until July 13th. However, it will end as soon as it runs out, so if you like matcha, please come to the store as soon as possible!
