A special opportunity for tea enthusiasts to beat the summer heat and try out Starbucks’s newest flavors.
Hiiiiii! Fancy taking a gourmet tour of the tropics with Kirby as your guide? Now you can — and there’s pizza, too!
You can’t get this new treat in Starbucks’ home country or the land of Frappuccino plenty, but we just tried it for ourselves.
“Donburi” usually refers to dishes eaten over a bowl of rice, so how could this concept possibly work?
The coffee giant is ready to serve their beloved Frappucinos again, with some precautionary measures.
If you’re as big of a fan of Starbucks as you are of traditional Japanese aesthetics, mark your maps.
A private room all to yourself for hours on end, free Wi-Fi, unlimited drinks, and enough space to take a nap, all for less than five bucks.
Fan-focused food fun is a 30th-birthday party for the fantasy franchise, and also the only restaurant in Japan where you can DRINK jellyfish.
Mouthwatering dessert uses part of the cocoa pod that most people forget about, but not the Kit Kat Chocolatory chefs.
The only cafe in Japan where you can enjoy the company of a capybara, the world’s largest living rodent.
