I'm back in Sapporo this weekend, mostly to do some more exploring around the Susukino station area and eat good food. Specifically, I had some food spots I wanted to hit up, made an itinerary, and was very excited to eat good food this weekend. You can read about my day here, on my other… Continue reading Jasmine Milk Tea (ジャスミングリーン ミルクティー) – Gong Cha
This week I’m chilling in town this long 3 day weekend! Today’s Sports Day in Japan, and I’m having more fake boba as my weekend treat. It’s a rainy day so I’m hibernating, but I bought this one from Lawson a couple weeks ago. And a good post-morning workout and semi breakfast! Oh hey, time… Continue reading Brown Sugar Milk with Tapioca (タピオカ黒糖ミルク) – Lawson
I'm back in Sapporo today! The main goal for today was to watch a movie, get this cardigan I really wanted, walk around and explore some more, and, try the The Alley here. You know, after the last couple times getting a failed jasmine you might have thought I would have gotten a jasmine. I… Continue reading TieGuanYin Milk Tea (鉄観音ミルクティー)- The Alley
It’s a double three day weekend! I spent the night out with some new friends last night, and then hung out with them for a bit in Sapporo today. We’re heading back to Gong Cha today for a boba run. I really wanted a Jasmine today! Even though I have food jasmine tea at home… Continue reading Oolong Milk Tea (烏龍ミルクティー) – Gong Cha
Up next on bad (or should I say, fake) is the boba from Family Mart, one of Japan’s biggest convenience store chains. I spotted this gem on one of my first trips to my local Family Mart, and eventually picked this up to try. And now I’m having it today. Family Mart only offers this… Continue reading Tapioca Milk Tea (タピオカミルクティー) – Family Mart
After 3 weeks I’m finally back in Sapporo! Now that I’ve got my internet set up, I’m thinking of taking a trip out every other week so I can at least get out, but not have to spend money on transportation every week. Of course, this is barring any other circumstances like a meetup or… Continue reading Hojicha Milk Tea (焙じ茶 ミルクティー) – Gong Cha
A few weeks ago I was doing my weekly grocery run, and near the juices and bottled coffee section sitting at the edge was this little guy. And I had to get it. It's a bottled boba drink. Is it going to be bad? Probably. Am I still going to try it? Yes, it's boba.… Continue reading Tapioca Milk Tea (タピオカミルクティー) – Emial
I might say, I’m going to The Alley today, and you’ll think “that’s highly suspicious and dangerous, you shouldn’t do that”, and normally you’d be right, but that’s not the case when it’s the boba shop! I remembered when they first opened one near me sometime around the pandemic, and I wanted to try it… Continue reading What’s a Deerioca? – The Alley
I made another bus trip to Sapporo this week, and hung out with a couple of new friends for the day! We ended the day with boba, and also because I wanted to go back to Gong Cha to try the Limited Peach milk tea before it ends at the end of August. The peach… Continue reading Peach Jasmine Milk Tea (ぎゅぎゅっとピーチ ミルクティー) – Gong Cha
Woah there. After the crazy non-boba Royal Milk Tea post, here you see another non-boba drink. Yes, it’s another vending machine drink. Yes it’s technically a milk tea. Yes, you can order a matcha latte at boba places. No, I’m not desperate to for content to write about. I have a backlog of some of… Continue reading Matcha Latte (抹茶ラテ) – Craft Boss
