Starbucks Japan Unveils Matcha Menu Items for New Year's
Featuring a special sandwich.
Starbucks Japan is ringing in the new year with special matcha menu items.
First up is a matcha and cream roll cake in replacement of the more traditional mochi — creating the special menu item with plant-based ingredients. There’s also the return of the Matcha Cream Doughnut, which is both dipped and filled with the bittersweet flavor, and the Matcha Butter Sandwich. The final offering featuring salty butter and matcha-flavored red bean paste, and is only available at select drive-thru branches.
The sweets can be paired with the upcoming sticky rice and roasted green tea Frappuccino, which is said to feature a mochi texture.
The matcha menu items are available at Starbucks Japan branches started December 26.
