Shinjuku Maynds Tower （新宿マインズタワー店）
This Starbucks store is located inside an office building.
The place is usually filled with people from the office
or students studying from a nearby school.
We've been really enjoying our Apple Crumble Latte here.
I thought this signboard was really cute!
They used craft paper to make a tree and
all the baristas wrote about Apple Crumble Latte!

Gate City Osaki （ゲートシティ大崎店）
Starbucks Japan is celebrating their 15 year anniversary this year!
The company was established in Japan on Oct. 26, 1995.
It currently has over 900 stores nationwide.
And on Oct. 1st...
our second fall promo began and brought us
Starbucks Japan anniversary merchandise!
15th Anniversary Mug
(Left) Kibou*
(Right) Connect
In the design are a silhouette of various people
or baristas enjoying their drinks or chatting.
You can see bellow what the back of the mug looks like.
*"Kibou" means "Hope" in Japanese.
If you look closely
you'll see a family of Daruma.
One is even holding a coffee mug.
Apparently the tumbler celebrating
the grand opening of the first Starbucks store in Japan
was also a Daruma design!
15th Anniversary Kansha* Hearts Tumbler
The design on the bottom is apparently a bracelet design
which represents the strings that bring people together.
*"Kansha" means "Thankfulness" in Japanese.
Starbucks Magnet Set
15th Anniversary Kibou Tumbler
Milk Foamer & Cup
Autumn Blend
I've heard that our new Autumn Blend
is also known as the Thanksgiving Blend in the US.
Chai Tea Latte
We finally got sleeves with the new siren logo, too.
Although some stores still are using the old ones,
probably until they use it up.
Also, this Starbucks store is special because
it not only has a lovely store design
but it's also one of our Reserve stores.
And it's also one of only 4 Clover stores in Japan.
I didn't have time to enjoy a Clover this time
but hopefully have time to go soon!
Also here:
Oh I almost forgot!!!
Starbucks Japan also made a video letter
with a snapshot from each and every store in Japan
expressing their appreciation.
Here it is...

Hiroshima Station ASSE （広島駅アッセ店）
This is a little Starbucks store connected to Hiroshima Station.
It's one of those stores you can access from inside the station
as well as from the outside from the station building.
I really like these Starbucks stores because
sometimes you just NEED coffee
but don't have the time or the energy to
get off at a station just for that.
Anniversary Blend
Starbucks Hiroshima Mug
Starbucks Hiroshima Tumbler
So you can see there's a beverage counter and a register
for the people still inside the station further down
from the one where customers outside the station get their drinks.
(Left) Chai Tea Latte
(Right) Dark Mocha Frappuccino
Part of the counter seats overlooks
the inside of Hiroshima Station.
Because of its convenience
the store was very busy,
but it's definitely a great place to
recharge before or after a long train ride!

Koshigaya AEON Lake Town mori GardenWalk （越谷イオンレイクタウン mori ガーデンウォーク店）
This Starbucks is located on the mall grounds.
This mall is apparently Japan's largest eco-friendly shopping center.
(Not really sure how many eco-friendly shopping centers we actually have in Japan.)
But it's a really nice Starbucks store
with a terrace along the small garden and pond.
This Starbucks store was celebrating their 3rd year anniversary.
They were offering free chocolate chips in your frappuccino.
Logo Shopper Tote Bag
Apple Crumble Frappuccino + chocolate chips
Isn't the terrace area nice?
It was a nice and relaxing corner of the mall...
especially when you want a break from all that shopping!
