AEON Mall Niihama (イオンモール新居浜店)


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)
Double Wall Stainless Steel Mug
Two Beverage Cards
Bag Hanger




Inside the black 5,000 yen bag:

Starbucks Mug Set
House Blend Coffee Beans (250g)
Pike Place Blend Coffee Beans (250g)
Starbucks VIA Italian Roast (12 sticks)
Starbucks VIA Columbia (12 sticks)
Two Starbucks Coasters
Handy Milk Foamer


Guatemala Casi Cielo 

Ethiopia

The Ethiopia beans even had their own bags.

Omotesando B-SIDE (表参道B-SIDE店)


This Starbucks store always has an amazing
chalkboard drawing of their special seasonal drinks.

Apple cider isn't a typical fall drink here in Japan
but I always crave it once it starts to get chilly.

This Honey Apple Punch was literally
the apple cider we never had.
So so delicious.

Ariake Colossium (有明コロシアム)


This isn't a regular Starbucks store.

It's a pop-up Starbucks truck
set up in the food court of Ariake Colosseum
during the Rakuten Japan Open Tennis Tournament.

I've always wished that they would bring Starbucks here for years now
because the closest one is a couple stations away.

So imagine my surprise when I saw this truck here this year!
