Exclusive cherry blossom items you won’t be able to find anywhere else!
Ever since the Starbucks Roastery opened in Tokyo, we’ve been treated to all sorts of ultra-exclusive goods and menu items that you just can’t buy anywhere else. This year, the megastore is continuing the trend for cherry blossom season, and they’ve gone all out with the sakura celebrations, giving us everything from stylish tumblers through to sakura cocktails, baked goods, and even delicate jewellery.
There’s a lot of gorgeous goods to choose from this year, so without further ado, let’s take a look at what’s on offer, starting with the exclusive drinkware collection.

It’s not just goods on offer either, as the menu will be blooming with pink treats as well. As in previous years, the Roastery Tokyo will have some exclusive sakura tipples spread out over the different bars on site. At the main bar on the ground floor there’ll be the Sakura Macchiato (900 yen), which includes a strawberry cream topping and a pale pink colour to resemble “a cherry blossom in full bloom dancing on the wind”.
At the first-floor Teavana bar, customers can get a taste of the following tea-infused beverages, which have been appearing on the menu in previous years:
▼ The Blossoming Sakura (800 yen)
▼ The Sakura Allure Cascade (950 yen)
▼ The Teavana Cream Soda Sakura (900 yen)
And up on the second floor Arriviamo bar, customers can enjoy the Starbucks Reserve Sakura Cask Coffee (2,000 yen), a cocktail inspired by the cherry blossom copper cask seen at the coffee roasting area on-site, and the Ruby Berry Blossom (2,000 yen).
▼ Sakura Cask Coffee

Over at the Roastery’s Princi bakery, there’ll be a variety of baked goods celebrating the blossoms as well, with special sakura-infused Italian treats like (below, left to right): sakura cupola (380 yen), sakura cornetti (420 yen), sakura torta (720 yen) and sakura maritozzo (420 yen).
That’s a whole lot of sakura to eat, drink and collect, and you’ll only have a short time to do it all too, as the exclusive goods and menu items will only be available for a limited time, until sold out. And over at regular Starbucks stores, there’s a whole other collection of limited-edition cherry blossom drinks and goods to entice you as well!
