Starbucks in Japan sells a lot of gadgets that can make mobile payments through NFC, most of which have nothing to do with coffee. For example, the latest Starbucks Touch:The Pen is a pen that has nothing to do with coffee (if anything, the ink inside is brown.) In addition to being able to write, its biggest function is to make contactless payment through FeliCa, which is common in Japan.

In addition to this pen, Starbucks Japan also launched an Starbucks Touch:The Hug wallet with the same payment function at the same time. The prices of both are 4000 yen and 13960 yen, respectively, with a deposit of 1000 yen (about 65 yuan).
