As the days are getting warmer, we’re starting to crave something cold, and for that you can’t go wrong with Starbucks’ delightful lineup of sweet, icy Frappuccinos. But how do you know which one to try when they all look so darn good? Don’t worry, we’ve got you covered with our Starbucks Frappuccino 2019 Flavor Chart.
We covered the basic lineup of Frappuccinos two years ago, and in case you forgot, the regular menu Frappuccinos are Coffee, Matcha Green Tea Cream, Vanilla Cream, Dark Chip Mocha, Dark Chip Mocha Cream, Caramel, and Mango Passion Fruit. They were placed on the richness scale based on the votes from our panel of judges two years ago, and they have held steady in flavor profile since.
Last time we also included two limited edition menu items that aren’t available any more, so this year we decided to add two spring specials and an additional Golden Week drink: the two Strawberry Very Much Frappuccinos, and the Espresso Affogato Frappuccino.
With its combination of strawberry cream, whipped cream, strawberry syrup, mocha, and strawberry macaron chunks, the Strawberry Very Much White is supremely rich and creamy, but comes at a high calorie cost (481 calories), just higher than its sister, the Strawberry Very Much Red (447 calories). Compared to the White, the Red lacks only the mocha and the macaron chunks, and is just a little more refreshing.
The real surprise of the trio, however, was the Espresso Affogato. It has the more mature flavor of bitter espresso, and there’s no whipped cream topping on this baby, so it’s much less rich than the other two. And yet, it still comes in at a pretty high calorie count, with a whopping 458 calories!
So there you have it – your guide to Starbucks Japan. If you’re looking to save on the calorie count, the Caramel, Vanilla, Coffee, and Mango Passion Fruit may be your best bet.

ubiquitous plastic cups and high prices means that I’ll decide to purchase my coffee elsewhere....

Sad to see so many people in Japan flocking to Starbucks. There are many better homegrown options.

Thank goodness for the No Smoking policy Starbucks pioneered. Still, I have decided to not support Howard Schultz's platform and also the coffee beans are roasted somewhere far away, not in Japan. Lots of other options now. Meanwhile, thank you Starbucks for providing rock solid proof that No Smoking equals tons of grateful customers. Other establishments, please take note and follow their lead. Protect your workers, clientele, and bottom line all at the same time. Establish a "bring your own mug" policy and I may think of returning.

How about just a simple ice coffee rather than some fancy sugary drink that has absolutely nothing to do with coffee ? And maybe Starbucks could also start to offer mugs for that , like they do for hot coffee , instead of the compulsory plastick cup and straw ! And in the meantime, also train their staff about what recycling is. When I ask for that second "100yen" iced coffee and ask to keep the same cup, I have to insist on it otherwise they just throw it away and give me a new one !
