Quite a bit of a delayed post (I’ve had two more drinks since then, to be written!), this drink is from 7/19. I went to Hyogo for a day, spending the morning in Himeji, and the afternoon in Kobe. While I was there, I stopped by Chinatown. And when there’s a Chinatown, there has to… Continue reading Jasmine Milk Tea (ジャスミンミルクティー) – Ten Fu’s Tea
On July 17, it rained pretty hard. I was going to go to Kyoto, but I changed my plans last minute to hang in the underground area of Osaka station. It was a hide indoors day, but a nice chill day to insert into my vacation schedule. In the area, was a Tea 18! I… Continue reading Mango Rooibos Tea (マンゴールイボスティー) – Tea 18
On July 15, I flew into Osaka! I’m spending about a week here, traveling around the area to neighboring prefectures. After dropping off my stuff at my hostel, I went to chill at a local mall. And I found a Bull Pulu doing a Dandadan collab. I wasn’t there for the collab, but just to… Continue reading Matcha Milk (抹茶ミルク) – Bull Pulu
Today’s my first full day in Tokyo! It was quite a hectic morning at the immigration office, and after a tiring day, I hit up a local Kocha after lunch. Truly excited to be having their drinks again. This seasonal Sakura cheese foam tea caught my eye, but in the end I decided to go… Continue reading Royal Tapioca Milk Tea (ロイヤルタピオカミルクティー) – Kocha
The other day I entered a 7/11 and this pineapple jelly dessert caught my eye: with the big black balls on the cover, I couldn’t help but be drawn to a boba dessert. No matter how it is, I had to get it! Turns out, the kanji characters on the lid was the name for… Continue reading Mango Pomelo Sago (楊枝甘露) – Tarami
Gong Cha has renewed its collaboration with 7/11 this year! With newe packaging comes new drinks. Like last year, the collab consists of two bottled drinks, one milk tea, and one tea ade.

Yesterday I came back from Tokyo! My dad and I met up with my cousin again for lunch, and my cousin's restaurant pick just happened to be across the street from Truedan. A perfect post-lunch pre-flight drink! One last boba while I'm in Tokyo this trip. This indeed was yesterday's drink, so apologies for the… Continue reading Assam Black Milk Tea (紅茶ミルクティー（アッサム)) – Truedan
I took a quick trip to Tokyo this weekend! I secured tickets to a concert of a group I’m a huge fan of (and their last one as a whole group…), and so I made a slightly last minute trip. When in Tokyo, get boba, and especially, Truedan. It was on the way to my… Continue reading Oolong Milk Tea (ウーロンミルクティー（鉄観音)) – Truedan
On Monday when I passed by The Tea, I spotted their current seasonal drink: passion fruit green tea. I was in the area after I got my drink from The Alley, so I thought about getting it the next time I was in Sapporo. Turns out, my boyfriend was coming back the next day, so… Continue reading Passion Fruit Green Tea (パッショングリーンティー) – The Tea
Yesterday I went to Sapporo to take care of some personal business and casually hang out, do Sapporo things. Personal business ended up being for naught, but I did enjoy my time, and got boba! The Alley finally released a new seasonal: a peach smoothie! Peach season is upon us, as all the peach goodies… Continue reading Peach and Tea Yogurt Smoothie (ピーチティーグルト) – The Alley
