The description
This product is the new Joe Kind Snoopy Caramel Chocolate Oat Milk Frappuccino, and it's a limited time offering available from Starbucks stores. It was 720 yen including tax.
The good
The full name of this drink is the Joe Kind Snoopy Caramel Chocolate Oat Milk Frappuccino (quite the mouthful), and it's a fairly classic flavor profile: an oat milk frap base dotted with chocolate chips and drizzled with a chocolate caramel sauce. The real "cute" factor is the topping, which has a little chocolate "Joe Kind" Snoopy, whipped cream, chocolate sauce, and green candy hearts. It's very fun from a visual perspective, so if you're a fan of cute beverages then this is one to check out.
The not so good
There are a few downsides with this -- one of them being that even though the base of this drink is oat milk, the overall beverage still contains milk ingredients...in other words, it's still not suitable for vegans or those with dairy allergies. I wish they'd just make it fully dairy free for those reasons. Also, it's expensive at 720 yen including tax, and only comes in one size. I wish they had these in short size, since it'd allow you to still enjoy the drink at a cheaper price and with less calories. Overall though, cute and fun, worth trying at least once if you're a Snoopy fan!

It looks cute, sounds delicious, but that's a lot of yen for a drink.

@TonetoEdo any of these seasonal drinks are a "one and done" for me – I think they're fun to try but certainly not something that I could ever justify more than the initial occasion. I saw an article in the last month or so about how certain Starbucks (I think they were Tokyo ones) were actually looking at location-based pricing, and those stores would be even more expensive than other areas. I'll see if I can find the article again to share!
