Tumblers, mugs, Stanley cups…and a blanket to keep you warm during night-time hanami picnics.

Just as the cherry blossoms bloom in a flurry during sakura season, so too do the limited-edition goods at Starbucks, with the chain giving us not one but two huge drinkware ranges to celebrate the beauty of the flowers.

After treating us to a cheerful range called “Sakura Daytime“, Starbucks is now giving us a collection called “Sakura Evening“, with darker, moodier designs evocative of  hanami flower-viewing picnics at sunset. Covering everything from tumblers through to gift cards and even a blanket, there’s a lot to love about this new range, so let’s take a closer look at each of the products below!

All the items listed above will be available in stores and online, except for the six “Night Blue” products, which are exclusive to the online store. With the chain’s sakura collections always proving to be a sell-out hit with fans, Starbucks is encouraging its customers to purchase products online to prevent stores from becoming overcrowded, and is therefore releasing the range online at 8 p.m. (JST) on 25 February, ahead of in-store sales, which commence on 28 February.
