Kagoshima Chuo （鹿児島中央駅店）

This is the Starbucks store right outside Kagoshima Chuo Station.

It's connected to a really big shopping mall and is quite crowded

but I really love how they have seats outside!

Haneda Airport Terminal 2 South Pier （羽田空港第２ターミナル南ピア店）

This is the Starbucks store at Haneda International Airport.

It's located in Terminal 2, near gate 70.

I was here the other day and didn't realize they had one.

I hadn't eaten all day so I nearly wept when I saw this place.

They had a menu stand outside,

which is something we don't see often in regular stores.

Handmade Starbucks Autumn Blend Booklet

October 1st was the start of our second fall promo

which included the Autumn Blend.

Here is the booklet that the very talented baristas made about the blend.

Suggestions for food pairing:

Marron Roll

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!

Gate City Osaki - November 2010

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...
