Yesterday my boyfriend came back to stay with me for a while! On the way from the airport, he stopped by Sapporo for food, and picked up boba for me! The new Gong Cha seasonal doesn't start until today. This means yesterday they were still offering stuff I wasn't super interested in, or just the… Continue reading Chocolate Milk (チョコレートミルク) – Gong Cha
Class 302 was a staple of my high school and boba life. It was close to home, convenient, near my weekly volunteer spot, and overall in a plaza good to hang out in with shopping and food spots around. Though the drinks themselves aren't revolutionary, what makes Class 302 stand out is their drink system.… Continue reading Self Serve Boba – Class 302
Junbi relaatively new shop to the scene offering boba, but I think they've been in LA doing matcha for a bit now. It's a cafe that specializes in matcha, but they also have an array of milk teas, fruit teas, coffees, smoothies, and soft serve and onigiri. Their menu is super cool! I've only tried… Continue reading Matcha and Onigiri – Junbi
Today my sister and I went to go see Wicked in theaters! Tuesdays are discounted at AMC, so we went to see an afternoon showing. The movie was really good! After the movie, we went to get boba next door at Cha for Tea. I was looking at the online menu beforehand, and was deciding… Continue reading Honey Black Milk Tea – Cha for Tea

I’m in Sapporo because it’s a long weekend! Sunday’s Culture Day, and because it’s a Sunday, we get Monday off. Huzzah! I promise this is the last three day weekend of the year (boo). Today I’m back at The Tea to get a drink. Weirdly enough, they don’t have a matcha only option. They have… Continue reading Brown Sugar Matcha Milk (黒糖抹茶ミルク) – The Tea
As of July 2, 7/11 Japan has released a limited bottled tea collaboration with Gong Cha! Although they're just bottled teas with no boba (honestly, thank goodness because that probably wouldn't end up well), they're both Gong Cha tea products. I thought they tengentially fit the blog. There's two drinks in this collaboration, and first… Continue reading Brown Sugar Oolong Milk Tea (黒糖烏龍ミルクティー) – Gong Cha
Today I went to Shiraoi to check out the National Ainu Museum, Upopoy! I would have gotten boba there…except it seems like there isn’t any local boba at all. This made a good chance to get boba again in Sapporo, especially to check back at The Alley, another place I haven’t been to in a… Continue reading Grape Yogurt Smoothie with Tea (葡萄のティーグルト) – The Alley
A bit ago on my recent Taiwan trip, on August 11th, we made a day trip exploring some parts of Taichung. Speficially, we spent some time in Shen Ji Cultural Village, a small collection of vendors selling their handmade wares, some souvenir shops, and some cafes. One of these cafes is A Bite of Frozen,… Continue reading Mung Bean Soybean Douhua (緑豆豆花) – A Bite of Frozen
I’m back in Hokkaido after spending the long weekend in Aomori! My plan today was take a final look at this years Autumn Festival, and take the newest The Alley seasonal on the bus ride home on the bus, when I went to go check if they had it, just my luck they had sold… Continue reading Kyoho Grape Oolong Milk Tea (巨峰ウーロンミルクティー) – Gong Cha
