Opening the Cherry Blossom Season at Starbucks Reserve Tokyo

Starbucks Coffee Japan, headquartered in Shinagawa, Tokyo, is set to celebrate the onset of the cherry blossom season at the Starbucks Reserve Roastery in Tokyo starting February 18, 2026. The theme for this season, "Serendipity in SAKURA - Encounter Your SAKURA This Spring -" evokes the anticipation of spring during the lingering cold of winter. This year, the Roastery will host its inaugural miniature cherry blossom exhibit titled "The Smallest Cherry Blossom Viewing along Meguro River," showcasing delicate cherry blossom-themed art inspired by the picturesque views of the Meguro River and the tranquil atmosphere of the Roastery itself.

This exhibit is designed to offer guests an early taste of spring while waiting for the cherry blossoms to bloom. Inside, visitors will find an array of four exquisite miniature art pieces that beautifully highlight the charm of cherry blossoms. As soft light filters through the space, guests can delight in the sweet anticipation of spring while admiring these tiny artistic landscapes. Moreover, the cherry blossom-themed artworks are complemented by the introduction of specially crafted seasonal beverages, which enhance the interactive experience at the Roastery.

This enchanting exhibit will feature four distinct miniature artworks, each capturing a unique aspect of spring and cherry blossoms:

1. Hanabira Studio's Creation: This interactive photo-book-style miniature art invites guests to peek through stained glass windows, enjoying the scenery while sipping on cherry blossom beverages. It’s an excellent chance for visitors to capture the essence of spring in a delightful photograph.
