Starbucks Japan is bringing back its beloved Kyoto Matcha Latte, a drink that first came out in 2008. This return marks the 20th anniversary of Starbucks’ pre-made drinks, making it extra special for fans.
The drink still uses the same type of milk as the original, but now comes with a stronger dose of matcha, giving it a richer and deeper flavor. Its design also stays true to the original, complete with a green straw to match the theme.
Starbucks even suggests some perfect food pairings. A tuna mayonnaise rice ball goes well with the drink, as the tuna and seaweed highlight the matcha’s richness, while the mayonnaise enhances the milk’s taste. For dessert, a steamed cheesecake is recommended to balance the flavors.
The Kyoto Matcha Latte is already available in supermarkets and convenience stores across Japan, so fans don’t have to wait to enjoy it.
