Starbucks Coffee Japan is starting Valentine’s Day early with a line-up of three chocolatey drinks inspired by the day of love that will begin being served in Japan from January 20, 2021.
The first two drinks to arrive are the Melty Raw Chocolate Frappuccino®︎ and Melty Raw Chocolate Mocha. The third and final drink, the Chocolate On The Chocolate Frappuccino®︎, will hit coffee branches on January 27.
Melty Raw Chocolate Frappuccino®︎ | Tall ¥590 (Tall size only)
Melty Raw Chocolate Mocha | Short ¥450 / Tall ¥490 / Grande ¥530 / Ventii®︎ ¥570
Coffee couples can look forward to sipping on the Melty Raw Chocolate Frappuccino®︎, a rich drink made with velvety fresh cream, smooth chocolate cubes, a drizzle of raw chocolate sauce, and topping of red-coloured chocolates shaped like love hearts. If they’re looking for something to keep them snugged up warm and cosy this winter, then the Melty Raw Chocolate Mocha is the one to go for, a twist on the classic caffè mocha that contains chocolate cubes that slowly melt into the drink.
Chocolate On The Chocolate Frappuccino®︎ | Tall ¥620 (Tall size only)
If you’re really craving chocolate during Starbucks’s Valentine’s season, then you’ll want to order the Chocolate On The Chocolate Frappuccino®︎, a mountainous drink loaded with three kinds of chocolate. Crushed chocolate biscuit, chocolate cubes, brownie and cake-like chocolates, and more. Mix it all together for a tasty experience that’s sure to have you falling in love – whether with the drink or your date!
Classic Chocolate Cake | ¥440
Ruby Chocolate Cake | ¥540
Valentine’s Day wouldn’t be complete without some delicious desserts. Starbucks has prepared a classic chocolate cake. Simple but tasty and pairs perfectly with a cup of Starbucks Caffè Verona. The ruby chocolate cake is love at first sight, a fruity delight that comes as Starbucks Japan’s first dessert to be made with ruby chocolate – the fourth type of chocolate alongside milk, dark, and white.
