This seasonal offering will be available at participating Starbucks stores across Japan, though some locations may not participate. It's interesting to note how the chocolate experience has been elevated through its layering of textures and flavors. The Frappuccino base will consist of smooth chocolate sauce, crunchy chocolate cookies, and the signature ruby chocolate powder, encouraging enjoyment through every sip.

Regular prices will be set at 736 yen for takeout and 750 yen for those wishing to enjoy their drink inside the store.

During the promotional period, customers who indulge themselves by trying all three types of the Valentine’s Frappuccino—including the classic and blonde versions—can receive special digital rewards. Starbucks shares, "For the Valentine’s season, each Frappuccino presents its own unique chocolate experience." Customers can collect these drinks and take part in the fun!

The Ruby Chocolate Symphony Frappuccino promises to not only tantalize the taste buds but also to visually captivate with its delightful pink hue and indulgent toppings.
