Starbucks Japan Launches Limited Pikachu Honey Cream Latte
Starbucks Japan has introduced a new limited-edition beverage as part of its ongoing Pokémon collaboration. The Pikachu Honey Cream Latte, priced at 690 yen for dine-in orders, officially became available on September 30 and will remain on the menu until October 8.
This specific drink was selected from over 700 recipes submitted by baristas during the "Pokémon + Starbucks Barista Battle." It combines milk and espresso with honey and caramel sauce to create a visual effect resembling the electric-type Pokémon. The beverage is topped with chocolate sauce, honey-flavored whipped cream, and heart-shaped sugar pieces intended to mimic Pikachu's red cheeks.
Customers who purchase the latte receive an exclusive sticker featuring original artwork by illustrator Hikaru Ichijo. Additional merchandise, including gift cards with collaboration designs, is available exclusively online through the end of the promotion.
