Today’s our last day in Sapporo for the weekend, and of course I have to grab boba before I go home. My boyfriend, friend and I got together for lunch at a soup curry place, and then after hanging out a bit, we grabbed boba to go before I go home. Yes, I’m back at… Continue reading Cookie & Cream Milk Tea (濃厚チョコシートミルクティー) – Gong Cha
I’m back from Korea! We landed in Sapporo in the afternoon, and after checking into our hotel, we got dinner and did some more merchandise collecting. After that, we went back to Shin An Ju for boba! Today I’m trying the other interestingly named black milk tea because it sounds unique, but perhaps I finally… Continue reading Uba Milk Tea (ウバミルクティー) – Shin An Ju
I’m in Korea! Read more about the trip on my Japan blog (yes it’s a Korea trip on a Japan blog). Since I’m out, I wanted to get boba, and also get a chance to try boba in Korea while I’m at it. My spot today is Palgong Tea, which I discovered through some Korean… Continue reading Dolche Black Milk Tea (돌체 블랙 밀크티) – Palgong Tea
I don't know if this slogan is recent or if I didn't hear of it until now, but Cha definitely always gives cups of happiness with their drinks! I had always heard good things about it, but didn't actually try it until a few years ago when I went on excursions to new places one… Continue reading Cup of Happiness – Cha for Tea
Here’s another boba and tea chain, which supposedly comes from Taiwan, Sharetea! A funny anecdote that I think of whenever I’m reminded of Sharetea is the first time my dad saw the storefront and went, Shaw-ray Tea. That was kind of wild. And everyone laughed. Sharetea has a pretty diverse menu of milk teas, fruit… Continue reading Sharing is Caring – Sharetea
This past weekend, my boyfriend and I went on a weekend getaway to Noboribetsu, courtesy of my parents for Christmas, to experience an onsen! Of course, on my way back home, I need a drink for the ride home, and my choice today is Gong Cha, with their (not so new) seasonal drink campaign, the… Continue reading Houji & Kuromitsu Milk Tea (香るほうじ＆とろり黒みつミルクティー) – Gong Cha
You've heard me rave about boba, you've (probably?) heard about my mom raving about boba, but you've (probably!) not heard my dad raving about boba, even if I do talk about him a lot! It's not that he doesn't enjoy boba because he does, and he does have opinions about drinks he has, but he's… Continue reading Dad’s Favorite Boba – Loose Leaf Boba Company
Merry Christmas! We’re heading back home today after our Christmas weekend in Sapporo, and my take-home boba today is going to be from The Tea, since I can get no ice and it won’t melt on me on the bus. I’m excited to try out another one of their tea selections. Today I’m actually trying… Continue reading Taiwan Shanlinxi Oolong Milk Tea (台湾杉林溪烏龍茶ミルクティー) – The Tea
Today I’m in Sapporo for Christmas Eve, and since we had plans in the area, my planned boba spot today was Shin An Ju. I’ve been wanting to try this more local "Taiwanese" boba chain for a while, and since I’m staying overnight I didn’t have to worry about lugging it with the ice all… Continue reading Loole Condora Milk Tea (ルールコンドラミルクティー) – Shin An Ju
Ok so 85 Degrees may not exactly be a boba shop and more of an actual Asian bakery, but they are a bakery from Taiwan, which is the origin of boba. Which also means that along with their bread, there’s a surprisingly big selection of drinks and boba options that it can actually function as… Continue reading Taiwanese Sweets and Drinks – 85 Degrees Bakery
