My boyfriend came back from Sapporo yesterday! He spent the weekend in Sapporo, and his way back, I requested a drink if he had time...and he brought me one back! Gong Cha is just starting the new seasonals again, with the annual first flush matcha series overlapping with the shine muscat series. I had the… Continue reading First Flush Matcha with Crepe Milk Tea (一番摘み抹茶サクサククレープ ミルクティー) – Gong Cha
Yesterday my friends came to Hokkaido! I spent the day showing them around Sapporo, and for dessert of the day, I took them to KLIM, a popular evening parfait spot for some ice cream. This was yesterday’s treat, so a bit of a late post! What’s this going in the boba blog? Well, KLIM offers… Continue reading Spring Strawberry Parfait with Boba Topping (春のおとずれ贅沢いちごパフェ) – K.L.I.M Sapporo
Today’s my last full day in Fukuoka! My friend and I did an Itoshima trip in the morning, and I went to explore Tenjin by myself in the afternoon. While in Tenjin, I was debating what to get for boba, but ended up going to Chun Sui Tang. Technically not an original shop or unique… Continue reading BUBBLE AMAOU Strawberry Milk Tea (タピオカあまおう苺ミルクティー) – Chun Sui Tang
Today’s my first full day in Fukuoka! Today I did some casual sightseeing around the main Fukuoka city area, including Ohori Park, Fukuoka Tower, and then caught the finale of the Dontaku Festival.

It’s Golden Week in Japan! (Well, this year’s lineup of holidays is not very good, unlike next year’s…). This year I’m traveling to Fukuoka, to eat some local eats, visit a friend, and sightsee! This is the furthest east in Japan I’ve ever been, and probably will be, for a while. On the way to… Continue reading Mango Mini Pearl Milk Tea (マンゴーミニパールミルクティー) – Gong Cha
I’m in Sapporo this weekend! The main reason was to see my Sentai live show today, but I think I was decently productive yesterday too. I was thinking about getting boba yesterday, but it just didn’t fit in my schedule. Oh well. I was determined to get one today, and to drink on the bus… Continue reading Earl Grey Milk Tea (アールグレイ紅茶ミルクティー) – The Tea
Here's my drink from yesterday! I came back from Hong Kong in the morning/early afternoon, and the one thing I did before I hopped on the bus back home was pick up boba from Gong Cha. As of 3/27, they came out with the new seasonal line, featuring their supposedly first melon drink! I've feel… Continue reading Melon Melon Milk Tea (メロンメロンミルクティー) – Gong Cha
Yesterday was my last day in Hong Kong! I spent my time there being taken around by extended family, and had an amazing time. Apparently they heard I liked boba, so they sweat out of their way to bring me to some boba shops! A bit shoutout and thank you to them 🙂 Everyday has… Continue reading Traditional Wintermelon with Fresh Milk – Kingyo
Today’s my last full day in Singapore! Today was a chill eating day, and exploring Little India and the Suntec Mall.

Today’s my first full day in Singapore! I spent the day eating, doing some window shopping, exploring the city, and visiting the Botanical Gardens.
