Happy (belated) New Year!

Like last year, most Starbucks stores celebrated the new year

with a fuku-bukuro, which are bags filled with Starbucks products.

It's become a tradition to grab a bag on new years day.

Be sure to check the website for the store operating hours

because they are irregular during the new years holiday!

People lining up to buy the fuku-bukuro.

There were two types of Fuku-bukuro:

5,000 yen Bag (Black)

3,000 yen Bag (White)

Inside the white 3,000 yen bag:

House Blend Coffee Beans (250g)

Starbucks Via Italian Roast (12 sticks)

Inside the black 5,000 yen bag:

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.
