Today I showed my friend who’s visiting Hokkaido around central Sapporo, and after parting ways, it was about time for me to go home. Which meant, time to get some boba before hopping on my bus home. Today I’m at Gong Cha, because they just had to release a new holiday seasonal. Spoiler alert, they… Continue reading Amaou Noel Milk Tea (あまおうノエルミルクティー) – Gong Cha
Happy Japanese and American Thanksgiving! Today I went to Otaru with my boyfriend because he’ll be leaving soon to go home, and he wanted to buy some souvenirs to take home. Coincidentally, a friend from college is visiting Otaru, and I gave him a basic tour around the main places to go. Mister Donut is… Continue reading Tapioca Royal Milk Tea #3 (タピオカもちもち黒糖ロイヤルミルクティ) – Mister Donut
Oh hey here's a new boba adjacent product: protein powder. It's technically not even a boba product because there isn't boba in or advertised on the product, which is actually is probably for the better. Imagine if there were dried boba chunks in there...ew. I'm glad they didn't try to advertise it with any signs… Continue reading Brown Sugar Milk Tea Flavour Impact Whey Protein – MyProtein
Today’s the last day of my three day weekend in Sapporo, and with nothing much else to do after getting lunch, I’m getting my boba and hopping on an earlier bus home. I’m back at The Tea, for a change, because I haven’t been back in a while, and because they sell some Taiwanese savory… Continue reading Taiwan Green Milk Tea (台湾青茶ミルクティー) – The Tea
Today’s my second day on my weekend vacation, and after getting up early to eat seafood and then doing some more casual sightseeing, I’m back at Shin An Ju for today’s boba.

I’m hanging out in Sapporo this weekend because it’s a three day weekend here! I basically explored an area I haven’t been yet, ate lots of food as usual, and no day out is complete without boba. I’m finally back at Shin An Ju, and I realize I haven’t had it in a hot minute,… Continue reading Iron Milk Tea (鉄観音ミルクティー) – Shin An Ju
My boyfriend spent Halloween night in Sapporo, and came back today, bringing boba back with him! He told me he was going to The Alley, and asked me if I wanted anything. Of course, I took him up on his offer… Now that I look back, I guess the first time I got the “jasmine”… Continue reading Jasmine Milk Tea (小山緑茶ミルクティー) #2 – The Alley
My boyfriend stayed the weekend in Sapporo, and came back today. I requested some Gong Cha if he was able to bring it back, and he did! Big thanks, ha! For some reason this and Gong Cha's Halloween drink came out within a week of each other, but this one lasting a month, whereas the… Continue reading Mango Peach Milk Tea (マンゴーピーチミルクティー) – Gong Cha
Today I went out to Sapporo, did some eating as always, as well as hang out with my boyfriend and his friend visiting in town. For boba on the way home, I was going to go somewhere else, but just in case for the spooky season, I checked the news for the boba shops, and… Continue reading Ghost Party (ゴーストパーティー) – The Alley
I miss Camellia Rd a lot, and I wish they franchised, but I also high key appreciate the cozy, small local vibe it has. It is truly the best boba by far in San Diego (not just me, most people I talked to in the area agree!), and I can say that with full confidence… Continue reading San Diego’s Local Gem – Camellia Rd Tea Bar
