I love Starbucks and often frequent the Highway stops at Hamanako and Fujikawa. I knew McDonalds was introducing a more Starbucks style coffee in their shops but did not realise it had already happened??
Starbucks is good for for a mocha or specialty drink (like frappucinos during the summer months), but their regular coffee is just bad, don't you think? I mean, back in Seattle, we used to call it Charbucks, over-roasted and overly bitter. For just straight coffee, I usually brew it myself or hit one of a few Italian coffee specialty shops in Jiyugaoka or Shibuya.
I have only ever drank their specialty drinks and have never tasted their regular coffee. I know now not to try haa haa haa!
I have heard that Shibuya has some nice coffee shops but only get there once a year. Next time I'm there we may have hook up for one of those Italian coffees!!
