スタバ
Significado: Abbreviated nickname for Starbucks (スターバックス). The universally used casual name for the coffee chain in Japan.
スタバ is how virtually all Japanese people refer to Starbucks in casual conversation. Starbucks has a strong cultural presence in Japan, and seasonal limited-edition drinks (especially the sakura series) generate significant buzz on social media. スタバ is also associated with a certain lifestyle image — studying at スタバ, posting スタバ photos on Instagram, and queuing for new フラペチーノ flavors are common cultural touchpoints.
