Starbucks Reserve Roastery Tokyo's Summer Season
Starbucks Coffee Japan Co., Ltd., led by CEO Hisashi Mori, heralds the arrival of the summer season at the Starbucks Reserve® Roastery Tokyo, commencing on May 9, 2025. This year's offerings promise to deliver a refreshing experience through innovative beverages, drawing inspiration from traditional Japanese elements and summer flavors. Located along the serene Meguro River, the Roastery Tokyo is the perfect spot to enjoy these unique coffee and tea creations.
Exciting Beverage Arrivals for the Summer Season
The summer lineup features an array of beverages that evoke a sense of indulgence, including a latte reminiscent of a Japanese parfait and inventive combinations of gelato and coffee. The Roastery's commitment to quality and creativity shines through in these distinctive offerings designed for a delightful summer evening.
Ground Floor Main Bar
The menu includes the "Kome Koji Milk Black Sugar Warabi Mochi Parfait Latte," which combines espresso with traditional Japanese warabi mochi and black sugar, topped with ice cream and whipped cream, creating a dessert-like experience. This beverage beautifully incorporates Kome Koji milk—a plant-based milk that showcases sweetness while harmonizing with the rich espresso flavors.
Also available is the innovative "Olive Oil Affogato™" that pairs cold brew coffee with olive oil gelato, inspired by the creator's experience in Italy. This luxurious beverage elevates the cold brew experience with creamy gelato and a sprinkle of sea salt, enhancing its flavors.
Second Floor Teavana™ Bar
From the Teavana™ Bar, customers can relish the "Teavana™ Frozen Pineapple Kona Pop," a frozen beverage that harmonizes sweet-sour pineapple with floral notes from roses and marigolds. The drink is topped with vanilla ice cream, adding to its luxurious feel, transporting you to a tropical resort experience right in the heart of Tokyo.
Adding to the menu is the "Kome Koji Milk Black Sugar Warabi Mochi Hojicha Tea Latte," which serves a warm, fragrant twist. It replaces espresso with the nutty flavor of 'Kaga Hojicha,' showcasing the texture of warabi mochi in a creamy tea latte.
Third Floor Alibiama™ Bar
The Alibiama™ Bar introduces the "Alibiama™ Colada Flight," a comparative tasting of three variations of the classic piña colada cocktail. Each option combines light peach essence and chamomile-infused tea with rich rum, and customers can sip on all three variations for a thirst-quenching cocktail experience, with non-alcoholic versions also available.
Innovative Plant-Based Kome Koji Milk
Among the highlights is the introduction of Kome Koji milk, a uniquely crafted plant-based milk developed with a focus on taste and quality through fermentation techniques. By blending natural sweetness and umami, this milk works beautifully with both coffee and tea, providing a rich and satisfying experience.
For those eager to dive into a unique coffee and tea adventure, these summer beverages, available from May 9 to September 4, 2025, are a must-try.
