Here’s the last of the boba snacks I bought from Taiwan! Yes, it was a while ago, but this one doesn’t have as soon as an expiration date, so I kind of put off trying it. Anyway, I kept seeing other nougat biscuits around, so I guess it’s a thing, but I got this one… Continue reading Nougat Biscuit – Hsin Tung Yang
Today I flew back to Hokkaido from Tokyo! As per tradition, since I had some time before our bus back home and I’d like a drink for the 2 hour ride home, I’m getting boba, today from The Alley. It’s mainly because I have a free upsize coupon that I need to use by the… Continue reading Brown Sugar Tapioca Matcha Latte (黒糖タピオカ抹茶ラテ) – The Alley
Today’s my last full day in Tokyo before heading back to Hokkaido. I don’t want my vacation to end…but we basically spent the day in Ikebukuro and chilled again in Asakusa for the night.

I’m sure… Continue reading Jasmine Tea Latte (ジャスミンティーラテ) – Yi Fang Taiwan Fruit Tea
Today I’m in the Harajuku area for a long overdue haircut. It’s peak heat in Japan right now, and my long hair isn’t very convenient at this time of year, so I opted to chop it all off. What’s also very good for heat is a drink! I was looking forward to being in Harajuku… Continue reading Matcha Boba Milk (抹茶タピオカミルク) – Xing Fu Tang
I’m taking a mini Obon vacation over the weekend, and so I’m hanging out in Tokyo with my boyfriend.

Honestly, I… Continue reading Matcha (モチモチ抹茶) – Kocha
