In Japan, seasonal drinks are incredibly popular, with limited-edition beverages celebrating the changing times of the year. As spring approaches, Starbucks Japan is once again welcoming the season with a fun new creation—the White Peach and Sakura Warabimochi Frappuccino®.
The drink blends the refreshing sweetness of white peaches with the unique texture and cherry blossom aroma of sakura warabimochi (a traditional Japanese sweet with a jelly-like consistency), for a fun beverage that also has plenty of visual appeal. This perfect pairing is complemented by a soft whipped cream topping, a strawberry sakura sauce, and a dusting of strawberry and raspberry-flavored powders, offering an eye-catching pop of color along with an extra burst of flavor.
The frappuccino comes in tall size only, and it’s priced at 700 JPY for in-store consumption or 687 JPY for take-out. It’s set to be on sale at Starbucks locations across the country from February 15th until March 11th, 2025, but please note that this is on a “while supplies last” basis—so there is a chance that the sales period will end earlier. If it sounds like a must-try to you, be sure to head in to your nearest Starbucks Japan store while they’re available.
Also, if you’ll be in Tokyo, the Starbucks Reserve® Roastery in the Meguro area has their own separate lineup of fun sakura-themed eats and drinks—you can explore the full range in more detail here.
