Starbucks located inside the aquarium, Kaiyukan. After exiting the aquarium, there is a souvenir shop and Starbucks in front, so I decided to take a break and stop by. Starbucks is always crowded, and I had to wait for about 10 minutes before placing my order. It might have been faster to order online if I had already decided what to get. Many people were taking a break and relaxing, but luckily there was a seat available at the back, so I was able to sit down right away and feel relieved. I saw the limited edition Peach Frappuccino for 700 yen and since I love peaches, I ordered it without hesitation. It was delicious with lots of peach chunks, but very sweet! Definitely need some cold water with it. It helped me relax and recover from my walk around the aquarium. The consistent taste and service provided a sense of comfort. A recommended spot for a post-visit tea break at Kaiyukan.

Depending on the time of day, the seating is relatively empty at this restaurant. The staff are kind and accommodating. You can relax while feeling a hint of the sea breeze. I recommend the salted vanilla roll, it was delicious and I would like to come back again.

I went to Osaka Aquarium on a trip and found a Starbucks there, so I got an Earl Grey Bouquet Tea Latte to take away and enjoyed it while looking out at the harbor. The weather was great and it felt nice. I ordered using Mobile Order & Pay and asked for a paper bag, but they gave it to me as it was, so I reminded them that I wanted a bag and they gave me one. However, they seemed a bit confused... My order history showed that I had requested a bag though... The store was spacious and not crowded. It seemed like a comfortable place to hang out.

After leaving the aquarium, we found a spacious cafe where we could relax and talk about our aquarium experience. The interior was not crowded, so we could enjoy a comfortable atmosphere. The view outside was also beautiful as it was a sunny day. I ordered a matcha frappuccino and an oolong tea latte, and I was very satisfied.

This Starbucks inside the aquarium is rare worldwide. You can use it without entering the aquarium. I didn't look around much as I only used it for takeout, but the window seats offer a great view of Osaka Bay. I had a late lunch, bought some souvenirs, and purchased coffee before heading back to Nagoya. It was a weekday and the store was busy, but I used mobile order so I could receive my order without waiting in line. They also accommodate customization, so I think I will continue to use mobile order in the future. I forgot to check what kind of coffee beans were used today... Since my family has all gone to the dream world, the dark roasted coffee became a good companion.

"I climbed Mt. Tenpo (location of the picture) with a lot of effort to enjoy the 'Yamanashi Tete!! Grape White Chocolate Cream Frappuccino'. In the past, I didn't really like 'grape' flavor because it was too sweet and sour, but nowadays 'grape' seems to have less acidity, or maybe I've just grown to like it. The grape frappe blends the grape and white chocolate flavors smoothly, creating a rich sweetness. I recommend ordering extra whipped cream to balance out the sweetness. It's delicious! After climbing the 4.53m high mountain (the lowest in Japan), enjoying this frappe feels even more special. Note that you can get a climbing certificate at participating stores in Tenpo Shopping District, not at Starbucks."

Aquariums and amusement parks are really tiring to walk around, right? But I found a Starbucks at the Kaiyukan that was perfect. I had a Coffee Cream Frappuccino on a clear evening, and it was amazing. The sweetness helped relieve my fatigue. It was a nice break for me. ☺️

Starbucks is a comforting place where you can enjoy a calm atmosphere while sipping on coffee. This particular Starbucks is located next to an aquarium called "Kaiyukan," offering a view of ships passing by in Osaka Bay from its windows. I stopped by during my bike ride today, feeling hot and thirsty, so I decided to order the refreshing Yuzu Citrus Tea in a tall size for 506 yen. This Yuzu Citrus Tea has been recently renewed, but since it's my first time trying it, I couldn't tell the difference. There is plenty of yuzu fruit pulp at the bottom of the iced tea, so you need to mix it before drinking. It was refreshing and just what I needed at that moment. While Starbucks is known for serving hot coffee, I decided to go for a cold drink this time. I noticed that the straws have been changed to paper ones due to the environmental issue of marine plastics. I understand the reason behind this change, but I must admit that I'm not a fan of paper straws... Am I the only one who feels like the taste changes with paper straws? It makes me feel like I'm licking cardboard. Is there a straw option that is neither plastic nor paper and also environmentally friendly?

After eating, I felt like having coffee and stopped by Starbucks. I can relax while looking at Osaka Bay. The weather today doesn't feel like November at all. I was torn between iced coffee and hot coffee, but I went with hot coffee. The balance of acidity, bitterness, and richness was good, and compared to my usual convenience store coffee, it tasted really delicious.

Around noon on September 27, 2020 (Sunday), I visited the Kaiyukan aquarium and then took a break at Starbucks. I ordered the limited edition sweet potato frappuccino and enjoyed it while taking a walk. The frappuccino allows you to enjoy the texture of sweet potatoes, with a taste that combines sweet potato and candied sweet potato, giving it a Japanese flavor with a hint of Western influence. It is sweet and perfect for a tired body. Thank you for the meal.

Today, I bought a buttermilk biscuit for 280 yen! It was thicker than I expected! (´⊙ω⊙`) I looked it up and found out it has almost 500 calories! (laughs) It could be enough to have this one biscuit for a meal. It had a slightly sweet taste and was really delicious! It had a homemade feel to it.

After enjoying the aquarium, I thought about heading home, but I had to stop by Starbucks! Today, they started offering a limited-time apple-flavored drink. I was tired from walking, so I ordered a Dark Mocha Chip Frappuccino. While waiting in line, I was shown the menu and the staff's smiles were wonderful!

I used it after visiting the aquarium. The view of the ocean is lovely.

The Starbucks on the first floor of the Kaiyukan. It is a rare Starbucks in Minato Port and seems to have mostly one-time visitors such as overseas tourists and Japanese tourists. I chose a seasonal limited drink at the table in the back, but there are no seats with electrical outlets, so there are relatively few people who stay for a long time.

Since it faces the harbor, it would be nice to relax inside the shop, but the seating is really limited and there are customers who occupy 4 seats even though they are only two people. So, it might be best to assume that securing a seat inside the shop is impossible. Therefore, getting a drink to go and relaxing on the outside bench could be an option. However, it may not be possible unless the weather is nice. Maybe it's better to order a hot drink? Recently, Starbucks can be found everywhere, but this one doesn't have a dark atmosphere like those in the city, and there are no people lingering with laptops or studying, so in a sense, the atmosphere is more open. The taste of the coffee is not bad, so it is convenient to use the shop and enjoy the view of the sea.

It was delicious and stable.
