A round-up of the best limited-edition drinks Starbucks served up in Japan this past year.
Japanese Frappuccino
With a new cake and hot apple cider joining the festivities, this is shaping up to be a delicious holiday season.
You can only buy this drink at four special stores, but there’s a word of warning for those who try it.
Starbucks Japan’s second pink Frappuccino of the summer is a flavor that’s only available at a fraction of its branches.
Select customers will be able to wear the peachy scent of this heavenly limited-edition beverage.
