This summer, Starbucks Japan adds the Love and Peach Frappuccino to its menu for a limited time, capturing the authentic taste of ripe peaches. The chain also reintroduces the Banana Brulee Frappuccino, made with mottainai bananas, blending sweet and sour flavors for a delightful treat.

Starbucks Japan Introduces Love and Peach Frappuccino for a Limited Time This Summer

This summer, Starbucks in Japan is introducing a variety of tropical beverages. In June, the chain introduced two banana-flavored Frappuccinos, and now, in July, it is introducing another juicy option featuring peaches.

According to Starbucks (via Japan Today), the Love and Peach Frappuccino is the third summer release of the year and is inspired by the concept of "LOVE & ♡♡." If those hearts are intended to resemble hearts in our eyes, they have certainly succeeded, as the beverage flawlessly replicates the peachy appearance of the fruit with gorgeous graduated hues. This is achieved by layering peach juice and puree on top of a juicy peach pulp at the bottom of the cup.

Although the beverage resembles a peach, it is also purported to have a peach-like flavor, as the sweetness and fragrance are intended to emulate the fruit's texture and taste. The flavor is purported to be so genuine that it will create the sensation of biting into a ripe peach, with a harmonious equilibrium between the slight sourness of the peach peel and the sweetness of the flesh that lingers on the palate with each sip of the beverage.

The flavor profile will be altered by combining it with the whipped cream topping, resulting in a creamy flavor reminiscent of a rich, opulent peach sweet. It sounds like a seductive beverage, and Japan Today is eager to sample it upon its release on July 10. The Love and Peach Frappuccino will be available on the menu until August 6, only in the Tall measurement, and will be priced at 700 yen for dine-in or 687 yen for takeout while supplies last.

Starbucks Japan Launches Banana Brulee Frappuccino with Mottainai Bananas to Promote Sustainability

Starbucks declared on May 29 that it would contribute to the preservation of the planet by preparing a Banana Brulee Frappuccino using mottainai bananas.

The limited-edition beverage was so well-received by customers that Starbucks introduced a second banana-flavored Frappuccino. The drink is even more delicious this time, as strawberries have been incorporated into the blend.

The Strawberry Banana Frappuccino incorporates the sweet and sour flavor of strawberries with the richness of milk and a banana pulp sauce that preserves the fruit's dense texture, resulting in a dessert-like experience.

The banana pulp sauce is crafted from mottainai bananas that would otherwise be discarded, ensuring that each drink satisfies your palate and contributes to preserving the environment.

The new beverage will be available on the menu from June 26 to July 9. Rewards customers can pre-purchase it via the app or mobile order on June 24 and 25. It will be priced at 678 yen (US$4,27) for delivery and 690 yen for dine-in.

It is an excellent time to be a Starbucks fan who enjoys bananas, as the Banana Brulee Frappuccino will be available until July 9.
