2026 Starbucks Japan Valentine Drinks — Price Comparison

The 2026 Valentine theme at Starbucks Japan is BITTER & SWEET. The concept centers on a "grown-up sweetness" — deep cacao richness paired with the bittersweet edge of espresso.

📅 Available: 2026 Valentine season limited (while supplies last)

※ Prices shown are for Tall size / dine-in (10% tax included)

💡 The most popular drink this season is the Cacao Espresso Affogato Frappuccino (¥900).

🍫 Cacao Espresso Affogato Frappuccino (¥900)

This is the season's headline act — the most premium, most indulgent option in the lineup.

• Price: ¥900 (Tall size)

• What makes it special: The barista pulls a fresh espresso shot right in front of you and pours it directly over the Frappuccino — affogato-style. You also get a waffle cookie on the side for dipping, which is a fun extra you won't find on the regular menu.

• Flavor profile: A rich cream-cacao base meets dark Frappuccino powder sweetness, with the bittersweet espresso creating distinct layers as it melts into the drink. The heat from the freshly pulled shot slightly melts the frozen base, giving it a wonderfully smooth, creamy texture.

• Best for: Affogato fans, or anyone who wants a satisfying dessert where sweet and bitter are perfectly balanced.

⚠️ Important Note

This drink cannot be ordered through Mobile Order & Pay. You'll need to order at the counter in person.

🍓 Cacao & Strawberry Mousse Frappuccino (¥730)

A seasonal eye-catcher that's all about striking visuals and a refreshing twist — perfect for your social media feed.

• Price: ¥730 (Tall size)

• What makes it special: Red strawberry pulp lines the bottom while chocolate mousse crowns the top — a visual stunner with real contrast. Hidden hazelnut syrup adds an unexpected depth that elevates the entire drink.

• Flavor profile: Your first sip brings sweet, velvety chocolate mousse, then the tangy strawberry pulp comes up through the straw, cleansing your palate. The overall texture is smooth and light, almost like gelato.

• Best for: Anyone who loves the strawberry-chocolate combination, or prefers a bright, fruity dessert drink without coffee.

🍫 Cacao Mousse Latte (¥650)

A refined, warm option for those who want elegant cacao flavor without the heavy sweetness — think of it as a sophisticated bitter cafe mocha.

• Price: Short ¥610 / Tall ¥650 / Grande ¥695 / Venti® ¥740

• What makes it special: Compared to a standard mocha, this one tips the balance toward coffee and leans into cacao's deep bitterness. The thick cacao mousse on top slowly dissolves as the temperature changes, shifting the flavor as you drink.

• Flavor profile: A full-bodied espresso base layered with cacao mousse. The HOT version is especially good — the cacao aroma lingers more intensely, and the clean coffee aftertaste after each smooth sip is really satisfying.

• Best for: People who find Frappuccino sweetness too much, and those who prefer a clean, grown-up bitter chocolate flavor.

2026 Valentine Customization Recommendations — BEST 3

Try these popular "secret combos" to take your drink to the next level.

1. Boost the Coffee: Add an Espresso Shot (+¥55)

Add it to the Affogato or Latte and the extra bitterness cuts through the cacao sweetness perfectly.

2. Maximize Texture: Add Chocolate Chips (+¥55)

Toss them into the Frappuccino — the crunchy bits alongside the waffle cookie make each sip more fun.

3. Elevated Fruit Flavor: Add Citrus Pulp (+¥110)

Pair this with the Strawberry Mousse Frappuccino for a more complex, luxurious fruit experience.
