10 Pumpkin Spice Latte Spots in Tokyo This Fall

Here's where to get a pumpkin and spice and all things nice latte in the city.

Fall comes around, and immediately, you see chestnuts, sweet potatoes and pumpkins take over Japan’s restaurants, cafes and various food and drink chain stores alike. However, when it comes to America’s fall favorite drink, the pumpkin spice latte, it’s surprisingly hard to get your hands on it in Tokyo…

Well, other than at your closest Starbucks during the season. But, for those wanting to try something more unique or local, here are 10 other places in Tokyo to get a cozy hot or chilled pumpkin spice latte this season.
