Today’s my first full day in Fukuoka! Today I did some casual sightseeing around the main Fukuoka city area, including Ohori Park, Fukuoka Tower, and then caught the finale of the Dontaku Festival. My lunch was right next to a boba place that looked promising. The boba scene in Fukuoka is very strong (at least,… Continue reading Premium Oolong Milk Tea (極上ウーロンミルクティー) – Sho Shin Tea
It’s Golden Week in Japan! (Well, this year’s lineup of holidays is not very good, unlike next year’s…). This year I’m traveling to Fukuoka, to eat some local eats, visit a friend, and sightsee! This is the furthest east in Japan I’ve ever been, and probably will be, for a while. On the way to… Continue reading Mango Mini Pearl Milk Tea (マンゴーミニパールミルクティー) – Gong Cha
I’m in Sapporo this weekend! The main reason was to see my Sentai live show today, but I think I was decently productive yesterday too. I was thinking about getting boba yesterday, but it just didn’t fit in my schedule. Oh well. I was determined to get one today, and to drink on the bus… Continue reading Earl Grey Milk Tea (アールグレイ紅茶ミルクティー) – The Tea
Yesterday my dad flew into Sapporo to visit me! He had business in Tokyo, and while he was at it, came to Hokkaido to hang out and help me take some things home <3. We had a great time eating meals, and it was good to see him again (after a short period, ha!). After… Continue reading Kagaboucha Tapioka Milk Tea (加賀棒茶タピオカミルクティー) – Tsutsumiya
Here's my drink from yesterday! I came back from Hong Kong in the morning/early afternoon, and the one thing I did before I hopped on the bus back home was pick up boba from Gong Cha. As of 3/27, they came out with the new seasonal line, featuring their supposedly first melon drink! I've feel… Continue reading Melon Melon Milk Tea (メロンメロンミルクティー) – Gong Cha
Yesterday was my last day in Hong Kong! I spent my time there being taken around by extended family, and had an amazing time. Apparently they heard I liked boba, so they sweat out of their way to bring me to some boba shops! A bit shoutout and thank you to them 🙂 Everyday has… Continue reading Traditional Wintermelon with Fresh Milk – Kingyo
I’m heading to Singapore today! My flight isn’t until the late afternoon, so I got lunch and boba in Sapporo before heading to the airport. Gong Cha just released their new seasonal line as of 3/27, which is perfect timing to try it out! There’s a new seasonal drink and tea! I’m going with the… Continue reading Hyuganatsu Milk Tea (日向夏 和紅茶ミルクティー) – Gong Cha
Yesterday my boyfriend came back to stay with me for a while! On the way from the airport, he stopped by Sapporo for food, and picked up boba for me! The new Gong Cha seasonal doesn't start until today. This means yesterday they were still offering stuff I wasn't super interested in, or just the… Continue reading Chocolate Milk (チョコレートミルク) – Gong Cha
Today I went to Sapporo, mostly to get a haircut, but it also acts as a good excuse to just go out and do Sapporo things. I’m back at The Alley for boba! I know I’ve been here quite a lot recently, but that was mostly because of some seasonals, and because of that, I… Continue reading Sakura Scented Pistachio Milk Tea (さくら香るピスタチオミルクティー) – The Alley
After a long weekend, I’m heading home from Sapporo! I got a parfait in the morning, and grabbed a boba before leaving to meet up with a friend! I’m back at The Alley again to get another drink. This drink actually came out back in October, but I haven’t had a chance to try it… Continue reading Maple White Peach Oolong Milk Tea (メープル白桃烏龍ミルクティー) – The Alley
