If you enjoy seasonal drinks from Starbucks but a frap feels too heavy, their new "Chillax" (a portmanteau of chill and relax) sodas are fun to try. I got the yuzu citrus one, and it contains yuzu peel, grapefruit, orange, and Starbucks' original green citrus flavored syrup. If you like fizzy drinks with a bit of zing to them, this is a great option. It is pricey (aren't all Starbucks drinks?!) but I do think it's a pretty big serving of drink. Surprisingly, you can also get it in the grande size, which is 635 yen. I just got the tall which was 590 yen. I do think it's nice to offer multiple size options.

As I mentioned above, this is a pricey drink. Almost 600 yen even for the tall size is kinda absurd for a fizzy soda, even when you try to justify that it's cheaper than a frappuccino usually is...since those are usually 700 yen-ish. I do think this is fun to try, but as is the case with all Starbucks drinks I try, this is a one and done for me. If you're not really a citrusy drink fan, they also have a strawberry chillax soda option if that's more up your alley. Happy drinking, and I hope you enjoy it if you do give it a try! :)
