I’m heading home after a long weekend in Sapporo! I came back from Jozankei this morning, and for the bus ride home as usual, getting some boba. I’m back at The Alley, because of the new fall stuff I mentioned yesterday.
I found out about the new things from an article linked in the official app. Now, the only Hojicha thing I saw there was a brown sugar boba Hojicha, the Hojicha version of the normal matcha. I was going to get it…but when I saw the menu had just a Hojicha milk, that was a much better option for me. Cheaper even with added boba, and no need for the extra brown sugar (unless you’re into that). I got zero sugar today to try it out, and medium, since I was going home so soon after eating.
The drink is very Hojicha (duh)! It’s very pure tasting, with a slight bitterness at times, but otherwise tastes like a Hojicha latte with added boba. Speaking of, boba is good as usual, with a nice chew.
Details: Houjicha Milk; medium; no ice; with boba; from The Alley (Sapporo Daimaru)
