Okinawa Kokusai-dori Makishi （那覇国際通り牧志店）

Okinawa is the most southern prefecture in Japan

and also the prefecture where I hail from.

Okinawa currently has a total of 18 Starbucks stores.

The number has grown in the last few years.

But I think this store is one of the most busiest stores

as it is located smack in the middle of the touristy shopping street.

Tokyu Plaza Omotesando Harajuku （東急プラザ表参道原宿店）

Back at this lovely Starbucks store again!

My good friend Andrew was in town

so a couple of us got together here to catch up.

We even had an impromptu coffee tasting together.

"Coffee machine parts reclaimed from our stores"

Andrew gave me this pretty Starbucks card made from wood!

It was so much fun tasting the new Reserve coffees

and learning about what food goes well with it.

Loved every minute.

Isn't the rooftop patio pretty at night?

Starbucks Card Hummingbird

This may be the best part of this special Starbucks card.

It's special because it supports the students of the

tsunami affected areas for higher education.

Starbucks Japan is cooperating with

Minochiku Future Fund

to provide funding for orphaned children of the

Great Eastern Japan Earthquake

who wish to further their education.

All of the orphaned children are included in this fund

which will provide for the children

until they are all of age.

And Starbucks Japan made this card so

customers could also take part in this project.

The Starbucks Card Hummingbird design is

based on the story of the hummingbird,

a tale that is told in the Andes about "doing what you can."

(you can read the story here.)

In the design you can see the hummingbird

carrying the warm thoughts (hearts) that come

from a cup of coffee.

Also, all the paper used for this program,

such as advertising posters or card envelopes

are produced by paper mills and

printing factories in the Tohoku region.
