Does anyone know how the Starbucks are like in Japan? For my school project, we have to do comparisons with the Starbucks in the U.S. and the Starbucks in Japan i.e. differences and similarities...Prices, different foods, etc. Any information or links on this matter would be greatly appreciated, thank you!

http://www.starbucks.co.jp/en/index.html same like the US, with some details that differ. by differences i mean cultural, you may find in Japan special treats like traditional japanese season cookies or cups. basically the management is 99% same. same americanized starbucks culture & hightower prices.

I don't know how much does it cost in US but here, usually we can buy Tall 480 yen Grande - 520 yen Venti - 560 yen (can be 580 yen depending on what you order). I think most of the similarities will be on the bread they sell. although I just tried eating Melon Pan here in Japan, Starbucks japan doesn't serve them. So I guess those are some bread types easily found on french and italian bakeries. Do you have some bread with eggplant on it? Starbucks here in Tokyo serve them. Didn't see it on my home country anyway. and this picture I found is a typical day at starbucks. I guess this is on Ginza. http://webdevmatters.blogspot.com/2009/06/finding-picture-to-fit-on-tokyo.html Some starbucks here even have Sofa (one in Kayabacho), and some are just located near the station (almost always crowded , with no seat), and some store like one in Shibuya (near the crossing) only serve Tall size (so they can accomodate more customers and increase their sales).

it is basicly the same in japan as it is in the US because the company from the US went over to japan to make their store worldwide and the managements are the same and the prices are the same too

Just like in the rest of the world, they open up and shut down all the great cafes in town. It tastes the same. Boring and the same as everywhere else. But the people are japanese. the prices are a bit more but I couldnt tell you cause ive only been in a starbucks about 3 times in the US and 3 times in Japan. Menu is 99% same but the monthly specials differ I think. Dont drink chain store coffee.
