Japan's cafés and chains launch multiple peach‑flavored summer menu items

Gong Cha introduced a limited‑time "Peach Full Peach" series across Japan on 25 June 2026, offering four drink formats – milk tea, tea‑ade, frozen, and sparkling – each featuring peach jelly made with Fukushima‑grown fruit, a double peach sauce and Alishan oolong tea.

Starbucks began selling its "Craft Juicy Peach Tea" on 24 June 2026, highlighting generous pieces of peach flesh and a blend of peach syrup with black tea. The drink has been praised online for its "refreshing taste" and the "large amount of peach flesh".

On the same day Starbucks also relaunched a carbonated version, "Chillax Soda Peach", combining peach fruit sauce with its signature green citrus syrup in a strong soda base, available up to Venti size.

In Fukuoka, the Campbell Early fruit‑café chain added two peach‑centric desserts on 22 June 2026: a "Peach Parfait" that uses an entire fresh peach and a "Peach Pancake" topped with peach‑flavored ice cream and sauce. Both items are served at its Hakata City and Fukuoka Airport locations.
