Starbucks Japan is releasing a Cacao Espresso Affogato Frappuccino for Valentine's Day, complete with a dipping waffle cookie. Rewards members get early access January 27th!

Starbucks Japan is celebrating Valentine's Day with a new limited-edition Cacao Espresso Affogato Frappuccino. This rich, sweet drink features a creamy cacao base, espresso, whipped cream, and shaved cacao, creating an affogato-like flavor. For an even richer experience, add a free pump of chocolate sauce.

The highlight is the individually wrapped waffle cookie, designed for dipping into the Frappuccino. This adds a textural contrast and combines the flavors of coffee, cookie, and chocolate in each bite.

Available from January 28th (January 27th for Rewards members), the Cacao Espresso Affogato Frappuccino is priced at 884 yen (takeout) or 900 yen (dine-in). Some stores will also offer "Latte Heart Days" from February 14-17, adding latte art hearts to hot lattes served in mugs.
