Starbucks celebrates 25 years in Japan with 47 regional frappuccinos, one for each prefecture

Starbucks Coffee Ginza Matsuya-dori, the first Starbucks Coffee store, was opened in Ginza, Tokyo in 1996, and since then, Starbucks has opened stores in 47 prefectures. Now celebrating its 25th anniversary in Japan, the famous coffee chain has grown to approximately 1,600 stores nationwide.

From Wednesday, Starbucks Coffee Japan Co Ltd will launch its 47JIMOTO Frappuccino® campaign at all Starbucks stores nationwide (excluding some stores). With original frappuccinos for each of the 47 prefectures of Japan, they've collected "different stories to express (their) gratitude to the local community for the support (they've) received thus far and (their) hope for the connections that will continue into the future."

The 47 JIMOTO Frappuccino® series is created by local partners in each of the 47 prefectures, who came up with ideas to express their gratitude and wishes for their local customers.

The lineup is full of individuality. Each one has a name, look and taste reflecting the unique perspective of each region.

For visuals and detailed information on each one, please visit the special 47 JIMOTO website here.

One of the reasons I never go to Starbucks is the conbini coffee is just as good...at a quarter the price.

Not a huge Starbucks fan, but every coffee product at a conbini is not a fresh product, has been heat sterilized and added chemicals to give you infinite shelf life and the result tastes like burnt rubber. Starbucks blows them away.
