STARBUCKS JAPAN SAKURA 2026: "SAKURA Shine Brightly"
"Cherry Blossoms and Sparkling Lights"
First drop is here
The Japanese description uses the word きらめき (kirameki) — meaning sparkle or shimmering light — so the collection is not just about flowers, but about cherry blossoms illuminated at dusk (yozakura).
That is why many items feature reflective coatings, holographic effects, and glowing tones rather than flat pink colors.
Every year, Starbucks Japan launches one of the most anticipated seasonal releases in the world - the Starbucks Japan Sakura collection. The Starbucks Sakura 2026 - “SAKURA Shine Brightly” series celebrates the beginning of spring in Japan with limited-edition tumblers, mugs, bottles, accessories, and collectibles inspired by cherry blossoms.
Because these items are produced only once per year and mainly sold inside Japan, they sell out extremely quickly - often within hours of release.
Starbucks Reserve® Sakura Collection
Starbucks Reserve® is a premium line of Starbucks featuring products available mainly in special Starbucks Reserve Roastery cafés and selected Reserve Stores. It represents the more luxurious side of the brand, focused on the coffee experience, design, and collectible merchandise.

Will Starbucks restock Sakura items?
No. Starbucks Japan Sakura products are seasonal limited items and are not reproduced.
Are Starbucks Japan Sakura items dishwasher safe?
Usually no. Most mugs, tumblers, and bottles require hand washing.
What is Starbucks Reserve Sakura?
A premium sub-collection sold mainly at Starbucks Reserve Roastery Tokyo and select Reserve stores. It uses more refined materials and has more limited production.
Why are Sakura tumblers expensive after release?
Resellers buy them immediately and prices increase once stores sell out.
Will there be a second drop?
Yes. Usually about two weeks after the first release, Starbucks Japan launches a second Sakura wave with additional items and a slightly different theme. Follow us so you don’t miss it.
Why collectors love this year’s collection
Unlike previous pastel-heavy years, Sakura 2026 is more luminous and elegant.
It focuses on light, reflections, and evening cherry blossom viewing, making many items usable year-round rather than only spring décor.
This makes the 2026 release particularly attractive for collectors.
