  "account": "Starbucks Japan has introduced a new Soupuccino flavor called Potato, designed to provide warmth and self-care during the colder months. The Soupuccino, which was first introduced in 2025, combines elements of both soup and cappuccino, creating a light and airy soup topped with frothy foam.\n\nIn this latest iteration, potato takes center stage, offering a rich and comforting flavor that replicates the taste of oven-baked potatoes. The drink opens with deep, savory notes of caramelized onions and subtle hints of sweet vegetables, ultimately incorporating the gentle sweetness and silky texture of potatoes.\n\nTo enhance the drinking experience, a barista steam-steams the milk individually, creating a smooth layer of foam reminiscent of cappuccino. Topping the drink off are roasted almonds, adding a satisfying crunch and nutty accent to the potato-infused drink.\n\nCustomers can choose between Short and Tall sizes, priced at 491 yen ($3.11) and 530 yen ($3.56) respectively. Starbucks is positioning the Potato Soupuccino as a gesture of self-care, especially relevant as people juggle work, studies, and household chores towards the end of the year. The limited-time release starts on November 13, beckoning coffee lovers to indulge in this novel beverage.",
