The “JIMOTO made Series” is a collection of unique products by Starbucks Japan that incorporate the local resources and traditional craftsmanship from each region across the country, and as such are sold exclusively at branches in those regions. The line-up showcases the various designs particular to the regions. The series began in December 2015.
The new JIMOTO made Series KOSHU is made in collaboration with Japan’s only shop—which is located in Yamanashi—that holds an official title to manufacture koshu inden, a traditional style of leathercraft in which the artisans use lacquer to pain designs on deerskin. The coffee cup sleeve’s design incorporates numerous motifs related to Yamanashi Prefecture, such as the Takeda clan crest, the cherry blossoms of Mount Fuji, the Japanese bush warbler, and of course coffee beans as part of the collaboration with Starbucks.
