Last summer's popular seasonal drink The Melon of Melon Frappuccino® blended beverage returns to stores across Japan starting April 12. Bursting with even more pulp and fruity flavors, the returning favorite kicks off Starbucks Japan's PLAY▷ VIVID SUMMER campaign, featuring colorful new beverages, food and merchandise.

With nearly twice the amount of melon goodness as last year, The Melon of Melon Frappuccino® blended beverage is the sweetest part of summer captured in a cup. Featuring the rich, juicy flavors cantaloupe and honeydew, this beverage is blended with milk and topped with melon-flavored whipped cream for a bright melon aroma with every sip.

Customers in Japan can also enjoy a colorful food menu, including the new Orange & Mango Cake, Strawberry Doughnut, and Banana Cream Doughnut.
