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

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
My boyfriend came back from Sapporo yesterday! He spent the weekend in Sapporo, and his way back, I requested a drink if he had time...and he brought me one back! Gong Cha is just starting the new seasonals again, with the annual first flush matcha series overlapping with the shine muscat series. I had the… Continue reading First Flush Matcha with Crepe Milk Tea (一番摘み抹茶サクサククレープ ミルクティー) – Gong Cha
Today’s my last full day in Fukuoka! My friend and I did an Itoshima trip in the morning, and I went to explore Tenjin by myself in the afternoon. While in Tenjin, I was debating what to get for boba, but ended up going to Chun Sui Tang. Technically not an original shop or unique… Continue reading BUBBLE AMAOU Strawberry Milk Tea (タピオカあまおう苺ミルクティー) – Chun Sui Tang
