Mugs, tumblers and limited-edition Stanley cups with Hokkaido’s shimaenaga snow fairy as the star.
After treating us to not one but two special holiday goods collections, Starbucks is continuing to spoil its customers in Japan by unveiling a brand new range of goods that pays homage to the winter season.
Dubbed “Shining Winter“, this new range is said to capture “the vibrancy of winter”, with goods adorned in sparkling snowy scenery and motifs of white animals, namely the ermine and shimaenaga, two of the cutest critters you’ll find in Japan.
From mugs to pouches, there’s a lot to choose from, so let’s take a closer look at each product in the range below, starting with the two limited-edition Stanley products.
