Not content with just celebrating traditional Japanese culture in Kyoto, Starbucks Japan has also announced it will be releasing a special range of merchandise to mark the zodiac Year of the Rabbit in 2023.
As you would expect, this collection features a lot of cute rabbit images. You’ll find the furry creature on mugs and cup lids, and even in the form of a small purse pouch with rabbit ears. There are also some mugs inspired by daruma dolls, which are said to bring good luck, plus a bottle and mug featuring wintery scenes of Japan.

- Whipped cream rabbit mug (¥3,100)
