Starbucks Japan Gold Star Member☕️ | Save This Super Complete Ordering Guide💌
Lately there have been lots of ordering guides for Starbucks Taiwan online💌
As a loyal Starbucks fan🤓🤓🤓 I want to share all things Starbucks Japan too~🇯🇵

Scroll down to see how, while studying in Japan, I fell step by step for the charm of Starbucks Japan (?)✨

The Starbucks I went to most while studying abroad was 📍 the Waseda University Toyama Campus store☕️

The store is right next to the campus study area, so after class I'd go there with classmates to do homework✏️
A school with its own Starbucks is so lucky....💗

Next up is the complete ordering guide. Save it, then save it again💌
1️⃣ Simple steps for ordering at Starbucks Japan❓
🔎Drink → size → hot or iced → customizations → quantity → for here or to go → wait at the pickup counter for your number
❶ Time to order! Starbucks Japan has a wide variety of drinks, and there are regular drinks for people who don't drink coffee (if you don't speak Japanese, you can just point at the pictures~

❷ There are four sizes. Most of the Japanese friends I've met order トールサイズ (Tall)

❸ Drink customization! It's kind of like an upgraded version of choosing sugar and ice levels at Taiwanese bubble tea shops (?)

❹The Starbucks Japan website is thoughtful enough to show sample customizations

Starbucks drinks have also been a hot topic online in Japan lately, and you'll find all kinds of recommended custom orders. Order one of those and you can't go wrong🔥

There are quite a few recommendation roundups on Ins, so you can order straight from the pictures✏️
2️⃣Seasonal limited-edition drinks❓Japan's creativity has no limits, I'm impressed
🌟Japan launches new drinks right on schedule every season! The pace of new releases is among the fastest anywhere...🔥
It often happens that I've just tried one new drink and then I see the ads for next season's:))))

🌟My favorite seasonal drink so far is the Strawberry Frappuccino ストロベリー フラペチーノ
🌟My least favorite was the 花見だんご フラペチーノ (Hanami Dango Frappuccino) (it looks great in photos but tastes kind of odd...
3️⃣Seasonal limited-edition merch❓It totally got me
🌟They release seasonal merch, store-exclusive items and so on from time to time. They really know their customers: whenever I see "limited edition" I get the itch😍
🌟My favorite merch I've bought so far is last year's sakura collection, in a soft pastel cherry-blossom pink🌸



There was also a sakura-season limited canvas strap (I went to so many stores and it was sold out everywhere, and I finally found one at our school xd

4️⃣Occasional in-store tastings❓
🌟During summer break I often went to the Takadanobaba Starbucks near my dorm to write reports📚

A few times the staff came around table by table, enthusiastically introducing new items and handing out food and drink samples😍
I experienced this for the first time in Japan, and it felt pretty new and cool to me🤓
And finally, some cute little pictures💗✨🌸
Cute little drawings I got when I visited Japanese friends at work😻 Quite a few of my friends work part-time at Starbucks, so I drop by often


That's a quick intro to Starbucks Japan💭
Next time I'll write about Starbucks Rewards in Japan, a Starbucks talk, recommended special stores and more🫡
Starbucks fans, stay tuned💝 More of my life on IG ✨🐰💗
