Starbucks Japan is gearing up for Valentine’s Day 2025 with the launch of exciting new chocolate beverages, starting from January 15 and extending through February 14. This year, coffee lovers can indulge in three unique drinks, each crafted to celebrate the distinct and delightful flavors of chocolate.
Among the lineup is the "Classic Chocolate Symphony Frappuccino." This delectable drink is packed with diverse chocolate textures and flavors, offering layers of indulgent taste. According to Starbucks Japan, this special frappuccino features rich chocolate sauce at the bottom, followed by crunchy chocolate cookie bits, and is topped with smooth chocolate whipped cream and luxurious drizzles of chocolate sauce. The finishing touch—a sprinkle of shimmering gold dust—makes it not only delicious but visually stunning as well.
Pricing for the Classic Chocolate Symphony Frappuccino is set at ¥736 for takeout and ¥750 for dine-in, sold only in tall size. This drink promises to provide the ultimate chocolate experience, perfect for sharing with loved ones during the festive season.
The second addition to their Valentine’s offerings is the "Blonde Chocolate Symphony Frappuccino." This drink utilizes blonde chocolate—known as the fourth type of chocolate—which is made by caramelizing white chocolate. Starbucks Japan describes this frappuccino as having a rich, creamy texture highlighted by notes of caramel and biscuit. The same layering concept as the Classic Chocolate Symphony Frappuccino applies here, maintaining the delightful textures of melt-in-your-mouth and crunch.
Like its counterpart, the Blonde Chocolate Symphony Frappuccino will also be priced at ¥736 for takeout and ¥750 for dine-in, available only as tall. This drink gives patrons the chance to enjoy chocolate from a different perspective, perfect for anyone eager to try something new.
For those seeking something warmer, Starbucks has introduced the "Classic Chocolate Latte." This is the only hot drink among the new offerings and features espresso combined with rich chocolate sauce and steamed milk. Topped with chocolate whipped cream and dark frappuccino powder, it delivers both warmth and richness for patrons who prefer their cocoa experience served hot. The prices for the Classic Chocolate Latte range from ¥599 to ¥726 depending on size, making it accessible for everyone.
Starbucks Japan has been known for inspiring seasonal drinks, and this Valentine’s lineup is no exception. With the emphasis on various chocolate experiences, fans are encouraged to stop by their local Starbucks to find out more. The anticipation for these offerings is high, with customers excited to celebrate Valentine’s Day with specialty drinks from their favorite coffee chain.
Overall, Starbucks’ approach to introducing unique flavors during seasonal events showcases their continuous innovation and commitment to providing delightful experiences for their customers. Mark your calendars and be ready to treat yourself or a loved one to these sweet additions starting from January 15, 2025!
