The top one has almost as many calories as a Yoshinoya meal, but yes, we still plan to drink as many as we can.

Starbucks Japan releases a new Frappuccino every couple of weeks, but they’ve really outdone themselves this summer by coming out with a whopping 47 new flavors at once! Why 47? Because that’s the number of prefectures in Japan, and each new drink in the 47 Jimoto Frappuccino (jimoto meaning “local”) series is available exclusively in the prefecture it represents.

We’ve talked about a few of the region-specific flavors, and even tried a couple for ourselves, but we haven’t gone through the full lineup just yet. We’re fixing that problem today by looking at the complete list, and at the same time we’ll be taking a look at their calorie counts. Not that that’ll stop us from drinking as many as we can, of course, just so that we can calculate how much time we want to spend in the gym to work off those delicious dessert drinks.

OK let’s get started, starting at the lowest calorie Jimoto Frappuccino and working our way up (and by the way, the number seen in each photo is simply the order in which the flavors were revealed, not it’s calorie or deliciousness ranking).

47. Toyama Prefecture: Like a Whole Watermelon Frappuccino (211 calories)

46. Yamagata: We Love Ya, Pears (294 calories)

45. Gunma: Yogurt Mango (295 calories)

3. Aichi: Anko Sweet Red Bean and Coffee (547 calories)

2. Hyogo: Creamy Mature Chocolate Bar (600 calories)

1. Ibaraki: Creamy Melon (625 calories)

In the end, it’s not chocolate, but melon that packs the biggest calorie punch. At 625 calories, Ibaraki’s Creamy Melon Jimoto Frappuccino has almost as many as a regular-size beef bowl at Yoshinoya, which has 635. But hey, Frappuccinos are essentially milkshakes with more ice, so they’ve always been a bit of an indulgence, and with this many delicious-sounding flavors, we’re sure we can find room in our calorie budget for a few more before summer’s done.
