Today was my full day in Furano! I say that, but I basically spent half the day in Biei, the town over. I finished most of my sightseeing things earlier in the day, and was just doing some casual local exploring, and I had this bakery in mind to go check out. I really was… Continue reading Tapioca Lavender Milk – Bijou
It’s a long weekend, so I’m making a brief weekend trip to Furano! I have to make a stop in Sapporo first to change busses, and there’s just enough time to me to grab boba at Gong Cha before hopping on the bus to Furano. I believe this is the yearly peach seasonal, but I… Continue reading Pichi Pichi Peach Milk Tea (ピチピチピーチ ミルクティー) – Gong Cha
Today I went to Sapporo to hang out with my friend, and then get afternoon tea with her and her friend! It was loads of fun, and I’m really glad I made a new friend today! For the usual boba on the bus ride home, we’re getting Gong Cha, because there’s a new seasonal… So… Continue reading Citrus & Passion Tea-ade ( シトラス＆パッションティーエイド) – Gong Cha
Today was Otaru Pride! Before heading over to the meetup area, when I arrived in Otaru, I headed over to to Mister Donut to potentially grab some boba for a morning drink. The day was going to be a hot day, and after thinking about it, I decided maybe a milky drink might be too… Continue reading Taiwan Fungui Fruit Tea Mango & Passion Fruit (台湾粉粿（フングイ）フルーツティマンゴー＆パッションフルーツ) – Mister Donut
I’m going home after spending a weekend in Sapporo with some friends! Today we went to the handmade village, saw a Ghibli exhibition, and then parted ways as everyone else had a bit of a time crunch going home. I got lunch, some dessert, and then stopped by Gong Cha on the way home. I… Continue reading Black Milk Tea (ブラック ミルクティー) – Gong Cha
Today I’m hanging out in Sapporo with some friends. After going to the Sapporo Museum, we went to Round 1 to end the night with bowling. Surprisingly, browsing the food options, I found boba in the menu, which meant I had to try it. There were a few varieties to choose from for boba, but… Continue reading Tapioca Matcha Milk (タピオカ抹茶ミルク) – Round 1
I’m back in Hokkaido (and Japan!) after a brief trip in the States (but this blog has been lively with that content). Of course, on the way home, I have to grab some boba for the road, and I’m back at Gong Cha to get their seasonal tea as a milk tea. As I said… Continue reading Chardonnay Grape Milk Tea (シャルドネグレープミルクティー) – Gong Cha
Today’s my last day in the States! It’s been a really quick trip, but any longer and I would have gone full vacation mode…my flight is later tonight (tomorrow “morning”), so on my last day, I met up with friend to chat and catch up! Honestly looking at the menu, I hoped there’d be something… Continue reading Jasmine Milk Tea #2 – Sunright Tea Studio
The other day I got an email from Coffee Bean, and I thought it was a normal periodic advertisement email, so I swiped to delete it. It was as it was being deleted that I saw BOBA written in the subject line, immediately undeleted it, and read the email. Turns out, Coffee Bean is hopping… Continue reading Ceylon Milk Tea with Brown Sugar Boba – Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf
Today’s my second day back in town! Today was a rest day for me, but also running some in-town errands, as well as getting a manicure and pedicure with my sister (hence the nails in the picture)! I wasn’t sure what to order and decided to leave it up to me at the ordering tablet.… Continue reading Cold Lavender Honey Matcha Latte – Junbi
