Celebrate Hinamatsuri with Starbucks' New Short-Sized Frappuccino!
Starbucks Coffee Japan is delighted to announce the debut of its first-ever Hinamatsuri Frappuccino, designed to bring joy to families across generations. Starting February 27, 2026, this colorful and delightful drink will allow everyone to partake in the joy of Hinamatsuri, a traditional Japanese festival celebrating the growth and happiness of girls.
The
Hinamatsuri Frappuccino features a vibrant appearance reminiscent of seasonal festivities and is infused with the delightful flavor of white peach. Offered at a convenient short size, this beverage is perfect for children and elders alike, encouraging families to come together and celebrate the arrival of spring in a tasteful manner.
An Exquisite Blend of Festive Flavors
This Frappuccino is adorned with a playful topping inspired by traditional
_Oiri_ — a Japanese celebratory candy made from puffed rice, known for its three colorful variants: peach, orange, and green. The developed “fluffy and crunchy” texture offers a delightful contrast, adding both sweetness and whimsy to the drink.
At the bottom of the cup, customers will discover a charming layer of milk pudding and white peach jelly, creating the perfect complement to the creamy body of the Frappuccino that is enriched with a subtle cherry blossom sauce. With each sip, the complex melding of the gentle sweetness of white peach and the delicate hint of sakura provides a truly harmonious springtime flavor experience.
This new addition to the menu is not just a drink; it’s a token of celebration and a reminder of family bonds during one of Japan’s cherished traditions.
