Today’s Sapporo day 2 on my three day weekend! I attended a pride parade today, socialized with some friends and Norwegians, and ended the day with boba on the bus ride to Otaru. I’m at The Alley today, because the current seasonal is a pear tea series, and that sounds pretty good. If you know… Continue reading Milk Tea with Pear Black Tea (洋梨紅茶のミルクティー) – The Alley
It’s a three day weekend! I’m briefly out of town, staying in Otaru because I started looking for places in Sapporo too late (oops!), but spending the day in Sapporo. My boyfriend and I did some current event sightseeing and errands, before getting boba from Gong Cha on the way back. Why Gong Cha? There’s… Continue reading Kyoho Grape Milk Tea (じゅわっと巨峰ミルクティー) – Gong Cha
Today I went to Kutchan! It’s a bit of a shorter and cheaper bus ride to Otaru or Sapporo, and I had a few food goals there today. To be honest, the only boba I knew about in Kutchan was this place next to the Chinese restaurant I went to today, but I don’t think… Continue reading Tapioca Matcha Milk (抹茶ミルク) – Harvest Cafe
Today I flew back to Hokkaido from Tokyo! As per tradition, since I had some time before our bus back home and I’d like a drink for the 2 hour ride home, I’m getting boba, today from The Alley. It’s mainly because I have a free upsize coupon that I need to use by the… Continue reading Brown Sugar Tapioca Matcha Latte (黒糖タピオカ抹茶ラテ) – The Alley
Today’s my last full day in Tokyo before heading back to Hokkaido. I don’t want my vacation to end…but we basically spent the day in Ikebukuro and chilled again in Asakusa for the night. Boba’s been a constant these past few days, so today I opted for Yi Fang since it’s reliable in the area… Continue reading Oolong Tea Latte (烏龍茶ラテ)- Yi Fang Taiwan Fruit Tea
Earlier today my boyfriend and I went to Yokohama for various reasons, including to eat Chinese food at Chinatown. Many of the offerings at Chinatown did include boba, but some of them didn’t look too good…kind of like Japanese crepe booth quality, and also sizes were pretty typical Japanese size, with generic flavors. I’m sure… Continue reading Jasmine Tea Latte (ジャスミンティーラテ) – Yi Fang Taiwan Fruit Tea
Today I’m in the Harajuku area for a long overdue haircut. It’s peak heat in Japan right now, and my long hair isn’t very convenient at this time of year, so I opted to chop it all off. What’s also very good for heat is a drink! I was looking forward to being in Harajuku… Continue reading Matcha Boba Milk (抹茶タピオカミルク) – Xing Fu Tang
Today’s my family’s last full day in Japan, and we’re back in Sapporo to chill. After arriving, we dropped off our luggage at our hotel, and finally, I got my family to try Mister Donut. Along with the titular donuts, I advertised their milk tea to my mom, and she wanted to try. Since it’s… Continue reading Tapioca Royal Milk Tea #2 (タピオカもちもち黒糖ロイヤルミルクティ) – Mister Donut
Today my family is staying one night in Sendai! After a whole day of eating Sendai foods and specialties, we did some late night food shopping in the basement of a department store near our hotel, and stumbled upon Bull Pulu. We saw it advertising boba, and after we finished our shopping, we circled back… Continue reading Houjicha Milk Tea (ほうじ茶ミルクティー) – Bull Pulu
I’m in Tokyo with my family! Today we’re in Ginza to do some last minute Tokyo shopping for my mom, as it’s our last full day in Tokyo. Before they came, I remember my mom saying she didn’t want any boba in Japan, but here we are…it’s also super hot, so a refreshing drink hits… Continue reading Jasmine Milk Tea (ジャズミンミルクティー) – Truedan
