Starbucks Launches Special Sweet Milk Chocolate Drink for Valentine's Day 2026

Starbucks Unveils a Valentine’s Delight: Sweet Milk Chocolate

Starbucks Coffee Japan is excited to announce a special new addition to their menu just in time for Valentine's Day. Beginning February 3, 2026, coffee enthusiasts can savor the Sweet Milk Chocolate, a unique and delightful twist on their beloved Sweet Milk Coffee. This limited-time offering promises to warm hearts and satisfy sweet cravings during the romantic season.

A Valentine’s Themed Beverage

The Sweet Milk Chocolate is designed specifically for the Valentine’s season, transforming the classic Sweet Milk Coffee into a luxurious chocolate drink. The core of this creation is a rich creamy cocoa base that enhances the existing flavors of the sweet milk coffee, making it an indulgent treat perfect for sharing with loved ones.

The Taste Experience

Each cup presents a visual treat, featuring a stunning gradient formed by three layers: at the bottom, a rich combination of fresh cream and white chocolate syrup forms a delectable base. This is topped with smooth milk, which gives way to the cocoa cream layer atop. As you sip, the flavors evolve, revealing layers of cocoa richness and mellow sweetness that dance on your palate, creating a delightful dessert-like experience that is sure to brighten any winter day.

Availability and Pricing

The Sweet Milk Chocolate will be available only as an iced beverage, ensuring a refreshing experience. The pricing is set at ¥579 for takeout and ¥590 for in-store consumption, inclusive of tax. This special treat will be available at Starbucks locations across Japan, excluding select stores, starting from February 3, 2026. However, it’s worth noting that availability may be limited, so early enjoyment is encouraged!
