As summer transitions to autumn, Starbucks Japan is introducing two new drinks featuring sweet potatoes. The Torori Mitsuimo Beni Haruka Frappuccino, priced at 687 yen (US$4.30), and the Torori Mitsuimo Beni Haruka Mousse Tea Latte, priced at 628 yen, showcase the tasty and unique texture of chilled sweet potatoes. These drinks utilize the Beni Haruka sweet potato, a popular Japanese variety known for its sweet honey-like flavor.
The Frappuccino combines a sweet potato paste with milk, topped with roasted sweet potato-flavored sauce and chips inspired by caramelized juices that form on baked sweet potatoes. Meanwhile, the Mousse Tea Latte mixes the same paste with a milk tea blend of Darjeeling and Assam, finished with a fluffy sweet potato-flavored mousse.
In addition to these drinks, Starbucks Japan is also releasing the Beni Haruka and Annoimo Baked Mitsuimo Cake, a cake made with two types of Japanese sweet potatoes: the sweet Beni Haruka and the richer Annoimo. This cake offers a balance of flavors, whether enjoyed hot or cold, and is available at Starbucks stores nationwide from September 2nd.
