I tried comparing hot and iced versions of Starbucks' chocolate mousse-rich beverage ``Chocolate Mousse Latte.''

The coffee beverage ` `Chocolate Mousse Latte' ', where you can enjoy fluffy chocolate mousse and fragrant nut sauce, will be available at Starbucks for a limited time from September 27, 2023 (Wednesday) to October 31, 2023 (Tuesday). It is said that it is a cup full of reward from the first bite, so I tried drinking hot and ice cream to see what it tastes like.

To commemorate 'International Coffee Day' on October 1st, a two-week 'COFFEE fun WEEK' packed with various coffee contents will be held for the first time at Starbucks nationwide from Wednesday, September 27th! ``Chocolate Mousse Latte'' and ``Iced Cappuccino'' will also be released on the same day to celebrate the beginning | Starbucks Coffee Japan

The desired 'Chocolate Mousse Latte' was listed on the top left of the menu.

I had a choice of iced or hot, so I ordered both. Furthermore, it is said that it can be served in glasses or mugs instead of paper cups, so I had ice cream served in a glass and hot food served in a mug.

The ice cream of 'Chocolate Mousse Latte' looks like this. There is plenty of chocolate mousse on top.

When I scooped up the chocolate mousse with a stirrer and ate it, I enjoyed the fluffy texture that contained a lot of air.

When you drink it, a sweet latte with a nutty aroma jumps into your mouth. The bitterness of the coffee is weak, and the flavor is finished so that you can fully enjoy the sweetness.

Perhaps due to the shape of the glass, as I continued drinking, the chocolate mousse retracted in the opposite direction from my mouth, and only the latte came into my mouth. If you want to enjoy the chocolate mousse at the same time, we recommend scooping it with a stirrer while drinking it.

The hot 'Chocolate Mousse Latte' looks like this. Chocolate mousse is floating in the center.

When it was iced, I felt that the taste and aroma of nuts was weak, but when it was hot, the nutty scent spread to my nose. Another interesting point is that you can enjoy the difference in temperature between a warm latte and a cool chocolate mousse. Also, when it was hot, chocolate mousse and latte came into my mouth at the same time until the end.

'Chocolate Mousse Latte' can be enjoyed at Starbucks nationwide, excluding some stores, for a limited time from Wednesday, September 27, 2023 to Tuesday, October 31, 2023. The size is Tall only, and the price is 579 yen including tax for takeout, and 590 yen including tax for drinking inside.
