A Special Wide Straw for a Unique Texture: The Taste of Early Summer


These two Frappuccinos, made with fresh bananas and appearing as Japan originals, offer a rich, mellow flavor and a vibrant look perfect for early summer.

The “Fresh Banana & Chocolate Cream Frappuccino” combines a banana and chocolate Frappuccino with rich chocolate brownie and whipped cream, topped with chocolate sauce. It’s a perfect realization of the harmonious pairing of banana and chocolate.

The scene from the commemorative event “Starbucks Summer Party 2014 ‘Happy, Yellow, Frappuccino®’” held prior to the launch. The new product's theme was expressed through fashion, with Yu Yamada appearing in an original “banana dress” during the fashion show, captivating the audience.


Meanwhile, the “Fresh Banana & Caramel Cream Frappuccino” offers a fresh harmony between the classic caramel flavor and banana. It’s topped with whipped cream and caramel sauce, alongside a brownie baked in marble patterns of caramel and vanilla batter.

The early summer taste, delivered through a specially designed wide straw, allows you to savor the combination of smooth, fragrant banana pulp, moist brownie, and icy Frappuccino. This is available in tall size only.

These menu items are available for a limited time due to the use of fresh bananas. They will be discontinued once supplies run out. This special Frappuccino, available only for a short period, is certainly worth trying.
