"Skinny’' drinks in Starbucks Japan?

Hiya

I found a drink I really like in Japanese Starbucks. However, whilst I drink all my Starbucks drinks ''skinny'' (with skimmed milk) normally, I didn't know if they did ''skinny'' in Japan so I didn't bother last time I went.

Do they actually do ''skinny'' Starbucks drinks? And how would I go about ordering it in Japanese?

Thank you.

Tee,

You can order low-fat (teishibou gyuunyuu) or soya milk (tounyuu) instead of regular milk. Soya milk costs extra, though.

You can also ask for 無脂肪牛乳, "mushibougyuunyuu" (non-fat milk). Asking for a "skinny" version probably won't work, I doubt the staff will understand it. I might be wrong though.

It's on the menu... they use the 外来語: ノンファットミルク (non-fat milk). I ask for it in my cappuccinos all the time. =)

Thanks everyone! That was really helpful, you're all stars!

Yes, it is definately worth trying to use the Japanese.

Once, in Kyoto, it asked for "skim" milk, not knowing the Japanese for it, and I received two coffees and a cup of steamed milk, which I can only imagine is what my skim milk had turned out to be. Lol.

Also, Exselsior coffee is the best but I don't think they have skim/ skinny etc. I asked in Tokyo (Yaesu store) and no luck. : (

Like another poster here, my younger brother mistakenly asked for skim milk at a Starbucks in Hiroshima and wound up with a cup of steamed milk! Made for a good travel story, anyways.

Non-fat milk is the term here!
