Starbucks Japan releases first-ever spicy Frappuccino for a limited time
By Oona McGee, SoraNews24 Summers in Japan are incredibly hot and now they're set to get even hotter with Starbucks' first-ever spicy Frappuccino. There is reason behind this madness, with the chain aiming to deliver a 'stimulating zing' of heat to refresh you on an energy-zapping day, and it's being paired with the fruity sweetness of mango, the star ingredient at Starbucks this summer. Called the Hot Honey Oriental Mango & Tea Frappuccino, this beverage gets its heat from a special 'hot honey' sauce which, according to Starbucks, might just make you breathe fire like a dragon, creating a thrilling new Frappuccino experience unlike any before. The main body of the drink combines juicy mango pulp, fragrant jasmine tea, and mellow-sweet soy milk, which helps to fan the flames of the hot honey. Specially crafted to satisfy customers who love spicy foods, Starbucks says the honey will make you feel like your mouth is 'engulfed in flames' and it's best mixed throughout the entire beverage before drinking. The surprising harmony between the rich, sweet mango at the bottom of the cup and the spicy hot honey atop the whipped cream is said to be unexpectedly delightful, and as you continue to drink, the spiciness intensifies so by the end you'll feel like you're breathing fire. It's so strong that the chain is even issuing warnings for customers to be aware of before ordering the Frappuccino: Spicy honey with strong heat is used as a topping. Please be careful when enjoying this product. Not recommended for those sensitive to spicy foods or for children in elementary school or younger. You cannot increase the amount of hot honey, but you can request less. The new Frappuccino will be on the menu from until July 8 in a Tall size only, priced at 761 yen for takeout and 775 yen for dine-in. Those wanting a taste of mango without the heat won't be left out in the cold as the regular Oriental Mango & Tea Frappuccino, which debuted on May 28 and will also be on the menu until July 8, is ready to satisfy your cravings.

Starbucks Japan launches new Chillax Soda drinks for summer
By Oona McGee, SoraNews24 Starbucks Japan is shaking up summer this year with a new range of effervescent beverages designed to deliver 'relaxation in every sip'. Called Chillax Soda, these drinks contain a base blend of fruit pulp and soda, with a special 'green citrus' syrup containing lemon, lime, grapefruit, pear and herbs for a beverage that's equal parts fizzy, fragrant, and fruity. Crafted around the concept of 'lightening your mood with aromatic soda', there are two flavours to choose from in the first drop — Strawberry and Yuzu Citrus. The Chillax Soda Strawberry contains a sweet-and-tart strawberry pulp sauce and jelly, which contrasts well with the green citrus syrup to create sparkly, fruity refreshment. The Chillax Soda Yuzu Citrus uses yuzu peel, grapefruit and orange to highlight the freshness of the citrus base for a bubbly, zingy hit. ▼ Both beverages are topped with semi-dried lemon slices for extra juicy refreshment. Image: Press release Chillax Soda aims to fill the niche between sugary sodas and plain sparkling water as the summer heats up, and its emphasis is on aroma above sweetness as a key ingredient. This makes it well-suited to a variety of situations, as shown by formal idol member and current Japanese television personality and actress Neru Nagahama, who will be appearing in videos on social media to promote the new range of sodas. The new sodas will be sold in two sizes, Tall, priced at 579 yen for takeout and 590 yen for dine-in, and Grande, priced at 624 yen for takeout and 635 yen for dine-in. The Strawberry variety will be on the menu until May 27, while the Yuzu Citrus will be around a while longer, until September 2. The clear look of the drinks will make you feel refreshed just by looking at them, but if you're looking for a more decadent type of refreshment, you can always opt for the creamy, fruity forget-the-world Frappuccino, which is also on the menu until May 27.
