Starbucks Japan Has Added a New Creamy White Chocolate Chilled Cup

— November 7, 2024 — Lifestyle
Alongside a bevy of in-store holiday beverages, Starbucks Japan has also added a new Creamy White Chocolate chilled cup drink to its retail lineup.

Starbucks initially introduced its chilled cup line back in 2025 and it's been a hit ever since. This line consists of ready-to-drink beverages sold cold with a handy little straw on the side. The newest chilled cup to join the line is the Creamy White Chocolate drink, which is being sold exclusively at Family Mart convenience stores. The new flavor is said to be inspired by a white winter, and boasts a rich melted white chocolate flavor that pairs perfectly with the creaminess of milk and the subtle scent of vanilla pudding.
