Pokémon and Starbucks Japan are teaming up for a new coffee-themed collaboration, bringing a Pikachu-inspired drink and an extensive collection of exclusive merchandise to Starbucks stores across Japan.
Pikachu Honey Cream Latte
The Pikachu Honey Cream Latte was created by Starbucks barista Junko Nitta, whose recipe won the Pokémon + Starbucks Barista Battle from more than 700 entries. The iced drink combines espresso with honey and caramel flavours, topped with honey whipped cream and a heart-shaped garnish inspired by Pikachu’s rosy cheeks.
*Tall size only
The drink will be available through October 8. Customers who purchase the drink will also receive an exclusive collaboration sticker, featuring eye-catching illustrations by Hikaru Ichijo.
Original Merchandise
The collaboration also features 41 goods decorated with original artwork by Hikaru Ichijo. The artwork depicts Pokémon and Starbucks baristas sharing coffee and embarking on new adventures, with eight stories created to accompany the illustrations.
The collection includes a variety of drinkware, including stainless steel bottles, TOGO bottles, cold drink tumblers and stackable coffee mugs. Other coffee-themed items include a drip coffee maker, kettle, heat-resistant glass mug with strainer, and milk frother with cup. The range also features a collaboration apron available in white or yellow, along with various accessories and stationery.
The Starbucks x Pokémon collection is available at Starbucks stores across Japan and through the official Starbucks Japan online store.
