Following the release of its first cherry blossom collection for 2024 two weeks ago, Starbucks Japan has unveiled a second drop featuring even more sakura-themed merchandise. The new Japan-exclusive series will be available online from Friday March 1 and in stores from Tuesday March 5

The second collection features mugs and tumblers in pretty pastel pink shades. It’s a bit more subdued than the brightly coloured, fuchsia-leaning first drop. Coincidentally, there are two new drinks being released at the same time to ring in the spring season.

Here’s the full list of the second drop, including prices:

  • Grace Mug (355ml, ¥2,200)

  • Double Wall Heat-resistant Glass Cup (296ml ¥3,400)

  • Stainless Steel Bottle Natural (325ml, ¥4,200)
  • Stainless Steel Bottle Floral (381ml, ¥4,200)
  • Stainless Steel Bottle Grace Beige (355ml, ¥4,100)
  • Stainless To-Go Logo Tumbler Grace (355ml, ¥4,400)

  • Stainless Steel Bottle Natural (237ml, ¥3,150)

The two new drinks mentioned above are the Hanami Matcha Cream Frappuccino and the Hanami Blonde Latte. Both drinks are available from Friday March 1 at Starbucks locations across Japan.

The Hanami Matcha Cream Frappuccino (¥680; ¥668 for takeaway) is a twist on the classic Matcha Cream Frappuccino, thanks to the addition of cherry blossom-flavoured white bean paste sauce. The drink is finished off with a sprinkling of crispy sakura feuilletine. 

The Hanami Blonde Latte (from ¥540 for short; ¥530 for takeaway) combines Starbucks’s classic blonde roast espresso with the same sakura-flavoured white bean paste sauce. Like the Frappuccino, the latte is also topped with a dusting of pink sakura feuilletine.
