Halloween begins on October 18 at Starbucks in Japan. The coffee chain will release the Halloween Witch Frappuccino® and Halloween Princess Frappuccino®.
The theme of these two beverages is “Which are you? It’s the day your decide.” Customers must decide which fate lies inside them – are they a witch or are they a princess? Both are completely different in appearance but are also each made with an apple compote.
Halloween Witch Frappuccino®: Tall ¥590 (Pre-Tax) *Tall size only
If you know you’re a witch, you’ll receive the dark coloured witch frappe. The drink is first filled with a striking blood red apple compote on top of which sits whole blended caramel cookie made into a frappuccino. It’s also topped with chocolate sauce which seeps into the whole drink to give it that witch-y look.
Halloween Princess Frappuccino®: Tall ¥590 (Pre-Tax) *Tall size only
If you’re a princess, you’ll get a cute princess frappe. The drink is made with apple compote along with white mocha sauce and whipped cream with sweet milky flavours. The pink and blue toppings also crown the drink for that extra princess mood.
So, which are you: a witch, or a princess?

The new Strawberry Matcha Frappe will be released on October 10 at McCafé by Barista outlets, the official McDonald's cafés attached to numerous McDonald's branches in Japan. McDonald's Japan has recently been selling a series of different matcha drinks for autumn. Following on from their Brown Sugar Syrup & Soybean Flour Matcha Frappe, a Japanese-style tasting drink, the new Strawberry Matcha Frappe uses strawberries for a more Western flavour.
The Strawberry Matcha Frappe is a brand new drink to McDonald's, mixing together the full-bodied flavour of matcha together with sweet and sour strawberries. It includes both a strawberry paste made from whole strawberries and a strawberry whipped cream at the bottom. Sitting on top of these is a matcha latte frappe which uses slightly bitter Uji matcha from Kyoto and delicious milk farmed in Japan. Crowning the drink is more strawberry whipped cream and sprinkling of matcha powder. The refreshing taste of the strawberry sauce coupled with the whipped cream serves to elevate the great flavour of the matcha even more. The beverage will be available from October 10. Until then you can enjoy McDonald's Matcha Latte Frappe, Matcha Latte or Iced Matcha Latte. Information

The Artful Autumn @ Starbucks® event is still ongoing at Starbucks Coffee Japan, with the next entries to the drink line announced as the Creamy Pumpkin Frappuccino® and Creamy Pumpkin Milk® which will drop at most branches across Japan on October 1. The first drinks in the line we saw were the three pear flavoured beverages: the Caramely Pear Frappuccino®, Caramely Pear Tea Latte and Caramely Pear Ice Tea. The second drinks were the Crispy Sweet Potato Frappuccino & Latte®. The two new beverages coming in under a week draw out the creamy goodness of pumpkins and are honey coloured, reminding one of the hues of autumn. The drinks use a pumpkin sauce made with Ebisu Kabocha pumpkins as the base which have a distinct flavour and sweetness.
Both the Frappuccino® and the hot drink are topped with candied almonds for added texture which marry perfectly with the pumpkin as well as a bitter caramel sauce that elevates the pumpkin's sweetness even more. The Frappuccino also has whipped cream and almonds inside the drink which harmonise creaminess and crunch. Customers who order either of these beverages will also get their hands on the third wristband of the Artful Autumn @ Starbucks® series pictured above. These are limited in quantity. *Available with any size.*Not obtainable with certain coupons.*Limited edition and will not be available again.*1 rubber band per beverage. Japanese pop and R&B singer Thelma Aoyama is also teaming up with Starbucks again to add 5 more songs to her "recommended songs for autumn" playlist on October 1. Check it out here.

In conjunction with the autumn segment of Setouchi Triennale 2022, the Yokai Halloween 2022 event will be held for the first time at the Yokai Art Museum in Shodoshima in Kagawa. During the event, guests can take part in the Halloween Night Yokai Tour on Saturdays, which will invite them to transform into terrifying ghouls!

Those visiting the museum in costume will receive a discount, and visitors can also enjoy some spooky treats at the Yokai Bar. This is one museum horror fans won’t want to miss!

Unlike daytime, the Yokai Art Museum is filled with a mysterious energy at night. With a flashlight in hand, staff members will lead guests on a tour through the museum, which exhibits more than 800 yokai sculptures. Visitors can wear yokai masks and costumes, and unlike a haunted house, you won’t need to worry about yokai jumping out at you. However, the staff may ask you to keep an eye out for anything mysterious. Guests are permitted to take as many photos as they like inside the museum, so be sure to share your experience on social media!Too Realistic! Enjoy Finger Cookies at the Yokai Bar
At the Yokai Bar attached to the museum, guests can find these terrifying finger cookies! These were made in collaboration with FUJI, a popular snack shop in Shidoshima. While tasty, they might be a little too realistic for some people. These will be available in two flavors: spicy and sweet. Rent a Halloween Lantern for Free

This event is being held to promote tourism in the town at night, and lanterns will be free to rent! These will be available in different colors from the first floor of the nearby Shodoshima International Hotel. Shodoshima, known as the City of Mazes, has over 60 streets with three-way intersections and many mysterious alleys. Walking through the town at night will be an experience you’ll never forget, especially during the spookiest time of the year! Information
