"Pikachu Honey Cream Latte" Launches September 30!
First Starbucks x Pokémon Collaboration!
Starbucks Coffee Japan begins its collaboration with Pokémon on Wednesday, September 30, 2026. Under the theme "Connection Over The Coffee Adventures: Embark on an adventurous journey exploring unknown coffee possibilities with Pokémon," collaboration beverages and merchandise will appear, inviting you on a coffee journey.
In addition to selling the "Pikachu Honey Cream Latte," born from the "Pokémon + Starbucks Barista Battle" which gathered over 700 applications from baristas nationwide, they will unfold a total of 41 collaboration merchandise items featuring original artwork specially drawn under the theme of an adventurous journey exploring coffee possibilities with Pokémon. Through various experiences such as Starbucks Cards and eGifts, they will deliver a new adventure centered around coffee.
Barista-Created! "Pikachu Honey Cream Latte" Motivated by Pikachu
Takeout: Tall 678 yen
In-Store: Tall 690 yen
Sales Period: September 30, 2026 (Wed) – October 8, 2026 (Thu) (May experience temporary stock shortages or end sales early)
The "Pikachu Honey Cream Latte" commercializes nationwide the idea of Junko Nitta from the Starbucks Coffee Koriyama Asaka Store, who was selected as the champion of the "Pokémon + Starbucks Barista Battle." Overlapping Pikachu's yellow with the golden color of honey and adding heart-shaped toppings reminiscent of its red cheeks, it is a sweet, smooth espresso beverage.
With flavors of honey and caramel enhancing the lingering finish of the espresso, heart-shaped toppings modeled after Pikachu's red cheeks are decorated atop honey-flavored whipped cream, crafting a cup that can be enjoyed even by those unfamiliar with coffee. Buyers will receive one gift sticker featuring original art created for this collaboration (limited quantity).
Features Newly Drawn Art by Hikaru Ichijo! All 41 Collaboration Merchandise Items
The artwork for this collaboration was newly drawn by illustrator Hikaru Ichijo. Centered on the bonds nurtured by unique Pokémon and the human connections that Starbucks has cherished, a total of 12 artwork pieces were created using a unique style that does not draw people's faces, allowing anyone to overlap themselves with the art.
At Starbucks stores nationwide, items such as the "Pokémon + STARBUCKS Reusable Cup Coffee Connection" (1,300 yen) and the "Starbucks Card Pokémon Pikachu" will be sold.
At the Starbucks Official Online Store, a lineup centered around items easy for daily use will unfold, including tote bags (5,000 yen each), stainless steel bottles (6,600 yen each), and art poster sets (2,500 yen each).
Furthermore, for the 3 days following the release from September 30 (Wed) to October 2 (Fri), all in-store collaboration merchandise excluding beverages will be limited to 1 item per product per person.
This collaboration allows you to enjoy the world drawn through adventures with Pokémon while holding a coffee in hand, through beverages and merchandise. As crowds are expected on the release date, visiting the store with plenty of time to spare is recommended!
Information is current as of September 24, 2026.
