7-Eleven Japan's sweet potato smoothie becomes a viral sensation online.
7-Eleven Japan's "Baked Sweet Potato Milk Smoothie" is a popular, unique drink made with real sweet potato cubes, available regionally.

No other convenience store drink is turning heads like this one. 7-Eleven Japan has always been known for its coffee, but lately, it's their smoothies that are stealing the spotlight. One of the hottest hits on social media right now is the Baked Sweet Potato Milk Smoothie. Here's the kicker: it’s not even listed on their official site, making it a sought-after gem in select regions, especially in the Kanto area like Tokyo and Chiba, for just 420 yen (about $2.80).
What truly sets this drink apart is the visual appeal; you can see actual cubes of sweet potato when you grab it from the freezer! Using a dedicated self-serve machine, you can craft this delight yourself—just scan the barcode, set up your cup, and watch it whip up in seconds. The flavor? You guessed it, it tastes just like a baked sweet potato, super sweet and creamy. With added banana puree and apple juice, it's a sweet treat at 192 calories. But if you're keeping it light, grab the equally elusive Cafe Latte Smoothie instead.
