Around the World: Starbucks Japan Offers Tiramisu Frappuccinos

The latest seasonal drink to come out of Starbucks Japan is the new Tiramisu Frappuccino. The limited-time drink is available in coffee and white versions.

Both versions are topped with a layer of crumbled crunchy black cocoa biscuits and white chocolate brownie as well as cream cheese mousse rather than whipped cream.

The white version features a white caramel creme base and caramel sauce drizzled over the mousse, while the coffee version features the standard coffee Frappuccino with cocoa powder drizzled over the mousse.

During development of the drinks, both mascarpone cheese and spongy lady fingers were tested, but discarded for various reasons (the mascarpone flavor didn't go well with the Frappuccino and the lady fingers soaked up the drink).

The drinks are served with a wide straw to better deal with the crumbles brownies and biscuits and are available through June 4, 2013. Also available is a Chocolate Brownie Matcha Green Tea Frappuccino blended and topped with crumbled chocolate brownie pieces.

Prices start from 590 yen (~$5.96 US) for a Tall-sized drink.
