Japan 2009 Starbucks Mug
Not wanting to miss out on the special yearly Starbucks Mug for 2009 (like I did in the great "forgot to buy the mug" instance in 2006) I once more headed out to the Southern Terrace Starbucks in Shinjuku on Boxing Day to grab one before they sold out.
The design really surprised me. 2008 and 2007's mugs had been very Japanese in style. 2008 even had Japanese characters for "2008".
As you can see, 2009's mug is also very Japanese, featuring a computer rendering of a a traditional Japanese panorama. Very unusual to have a black colour scheme for a Starbucks mug, though the Starbucks 2009 Tumblers came in two designs, the one on the mug and a bright blue daytime variant. I wonder why they didn't make a mug variant as well?

Welcome. My name's Brad and I'm about to start my fifth year in Tokyo, Japan though lately I've found that that defines me as badly as saying I'm from Sydney, Australia.
Wow! Starbucks mug from Japan...Are you a collector too?...
What gave it away? Haha.
Wish Aussie mugs looked this good.
