SAKURA (さくら) from STARBUCKS COFFEE

In Tokyo, for last several days, we felt Spring just around the corner.

It becomes warmer day by day, little by little... Cherry blossom (さくら, sakura) season is still a month away but at Starbucks coffee shops in Japan, we can feel SAKURA already.

 SAKURA steamer is steamed hot milk with "SAKURA" flavour. It is a pitty that we cannot see milk in subtle pink color in the cup though...

The scent of sakura surely comes from the pink powder on the top.

Other seasonal products, SAKURA cream flappuccino, cakes and special design tumblers are also available at STARBUCKS COFFEE in Japan until mid-March 2010.

Hello Kitty bottle water

One day I found...mineral water bottle SHAPED IN "HELLO KITTY" WOW....cute

I bought just one bottle, because it is expensive...Yen368/265ml bottle.

The water source is soft water from Kagoshima prefecture, in Kyushu.

This is the first attempt for Sanrio to produce Kitty shaped bottle. 

I found a sign at the shop to tell us "this product is likely to be run out quickly and we recommend your purchase whenever it is available."

Yes, it must be popular...so sorry if you are not able to find it in Japan.

Maybe it is sold here, Hello Kitty store in Shibuya:
