Ryan’s Place

When I first got to Japan, signs inside each Starbucks advertised an upcoming new drink: coffee jelly.  It was first offered on 4/15.  We ordered one (~530Y for a grande) and it was decent.  It’s basically a frozen frappuciono style drink with jellied coffee at the bottom.  It’s similar to bubble tea, I guess.  I didn’t get a chance to see how they store/dispense the jelly, but I’m curious how that’s done.  Is it my new drink of choice (when in Japan, of course)? No.  But it was interesting.

I wouldn’t look forward to seeing it stateside.
