Today my boyfriend and I went out to Sapporo to see the Sanrio 60th Anniversary exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art! You can read about my day on my other blog, here. As per usual, we walked a lot, ate good food, and got boba for the way home! We were in the RiQ… Continue reading Tapioca Uji Matcha Latte (タピオカ宇治抹茶ラテ) – Matcha Cafe & Sweets RiQ
Happy Birthday to the Emperor! Today's a national holiday, which means I get the day off work. It's a little awkward, because it's kind of a random Thursday off (so not a three-day weekend...), and I have to go into work the next day, only for it to turn into the weekend, ha! Anyway, I… Continue reading Matcha Milk (抹茶ミルク) – The Alley
Today I spent a day wandering around Otaru to see the Snow Light Path happening at night. You can read that on my Japan blog! I usually like getting boba when I go out, and since Otaru only has boba at Mister Donut, I was hoping to be able to get one before we got… Continue reading Brown Sugar Milk with Tapioca (タピオカ黒糖ミルク) – Mister Donut
Today’s our last day in Sapporo for the weekend, and of course I have to grab boba 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
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
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
In my quest to try more local, Japanese boba spots is The Tea, which has two locations in Sapporo. I've had this place in mind for a while now, and I figured on my outing today I'd finally try it out. They claim to be one of the more authentic boba places around, and they… Continue reading Tiegyuanyin Oolong Milk Tea (鉄観音ミルクティー) – The Tea
