The initial offering is a matcha and cream roll cake, substituting the conventional mochi, crafted with plant-based components. The Matcha Cream Doughnut, which is both dipped and loaded with a bittersweet flavor, and the Matcha Butter Sandwich are both returning. The concluding product includes salted butter and matcha-flavored red bean paste, offered exclusively at select drive-thru locations.

The confections can be complemented by the forthcoming sticky rice and roasted green tea Frappuccino, which is reported to possess a mochi-like texture.

Matcha menu items became available at Starbucks Japan locations on December 26.
