Starbucks Japan is known for releasing highly anticipated seasonal drinks and merchandise. The Starbucks frenzy occurs twice a year: during the sakura season and Halloween season. Sakura season in Japan is particularly festive because you can see snaking lines leading up to the corner of Starbucks.
The line was filled with giddy coffee enthusiasts waiting to get a taste of the delicious pink drinks, which were only available for a short time. But as the October chill settles in Japan, many wait for the spooky season merch to drop and spooktacular drinks! This year is no different! Starbucks Japan released its 2022 Halloween Collection in mid-October. We have the entire collection here for you to check out!
Starbucks (Starbucks in Japanese スターバックス) stores in Japan aren’t just coffee shops; they are also the highlight of the season for locals and must-visit destinations for tourists.
Every year, Starbucks releases limited-time items. These items vary yearly, including the Starbucks Halloween Cups 2021 theme. This theme concerns ghosts, black cats, and glow-in-the-dark. This year, Halloween 2022, Starbucks’ theme is “Black Cats Get Magic”!
Think playfully decorated black cats and spookily cute ghosts! This year’s theme uses lilac, purple, and black as the main motif colors! The entire collection is a tribute to the cute side of Halloween. In contrast, the Starbucks Halloween 2022 drink range is a rainbow of Halloween colors. Just keep reading to find out what Starbucks has in store for you!

This year, Starbucks has released two sets of seasonal drinks. The first release is based around classic fall flavors like pumpkin spice lattes, and the second release is solely based on Halloween colors. This newest range of Halloween drinks features spooky rainbow colors, including purple, orange, green, and red! Spooky!
In the purple theme, Starbucks released this extra spooky Halloween electric purple drink! The sweet potato and vanilla combo Frappuccino drink will give you the taste of a sweet autumn dessert.
The Orange Halloween Mango Passion Tea Frappuccino is a delightfully fruity drink with citrus pulp and topped off perfectly with whipped cream.
The Green Halloween Matcha Cream Frappuccino combines the base matcha Drink with a tasty Halloween treat—extra chocolate chips and chocolate sauce! The fun twist makes this green drink irresistibly good!
Lastly, in the Halloween color collection, is the spookalicious Red Halloween drink. This drink features passion fruit tea mixed with a lightly sweetened vanilla-flavored syrup. So, if this spooky drink doesn’t pique your Halloween interest, nothing else will!
Autumn is not autumn without a pumpkin spice latte! However, this wasn’t always the case in Japan. Pumpkin spice lattes made a brief appearance in 2006 and then again in 2021. Once again, Japan has been graced with all the cool weather and tastiness that PSL has.
The creamy, sweet pumpkin flavor can turn any summer lover into a winter fan. This soul-warming drink has an espresso and milk latte, a pumpkin spice-flavored sauce, and whipped cream and nutmeg!
Starbucks has previously introduced chestnut and sweet potato-inspired lattes, but this year, we have the delectable blonde latte. This Starbucks-exclusive drink is made using fluffy frothed oat milk and delicious blonde espresso with a hint of sweetness.
Starbucks Japan loves a treat with a trick! The Toro-ri raspberry Halloween cake is made with devilishly sweet chocolate cupcakes as a treat and bleeding sour raspberry sauce as the cheeky trick! This tasty treat is the perfect playful cake to liven up the Halloween mood!
For something a bit more cozy, it is the Basque pumpkin cheesecake. This pumpkin-flavored mix cheesecake has a hint of warming spices like cinnamon, nutmeg, and ginger. The delicious flavoring is on a hardened dough made from crushed barley biscuits.
This type of cheesecake is unique, with a charred black surface and a slightly bitter accent. Rich-tasting pumpkin pie is the perfect cooler-weather treat!
The Japan Starbucks cups 2022 collection was released on October 12th, 2022, and became available in the entire country from then on!
