Today I took my new neighbor on a central Sapporo day tour! We walked around, saw all the Sapporo basics around the station area, and I ended the trip with boba for the bus ride home. We were already at the bus stop, and Gong Cha was the closest. The new “seasonal” option doesn’t come… Continue reading Crunchy Matcha Milk Tea (サクサク抹茶 ミルクティー) – Gong Cha
Today I spent the day in Sapporo, doing some eating, casual shopping, and seeing what was up locally (it’s summer, which means it’s festival season!). I ended the day this time with a bit of a surprise boba twist, as I still had items to get at my usual places, but wanted to recheck and… Continue reading Tapioca Iced Milk Tea (タピオカ入りアイスミルクティ) – Bund Cafe
I’m heading home from my brief short vacation to Furano today! I left early in the morning to make a stop in Sapporo for lunch, pick up boba, and then go home. Today, I’m actually getting boba from Tsutsumiya, a small crepe shop in the Daimaru department store Kiyokocho. I actually stumbled upon the fact… Continue reading Roasted Iron Kannon Tapioka Milk Tea (焙煎鉄観音タピオカミルクティー) – Tsutsumiya
Today was my full day in Furano! I say that, but I basically spent half the day in Biei, the town over. I finished most of my sightseeing things earlier in the day, and was just doing some casual local exploring, and I had this bakery in mind to go check out. I really was… Continue reading Tapioca Lavender Milk – Bijou
It’s a long weekend, so I’m making a brief weekend trip to Furano! I have to make a stop in Sapporo first to change busses, and there’s just enough time to me to grab boba at Gong Cha before hopping on the bus to Furano. I believe this is the yearly peach seasonal, but I… Continue reading Pichi Pichi Peach Milk Tea (ピチピチピーチ ミルクティー) – Gong Cha
Today I went to Sapporo to hang out with my friend, and then get afternoon tea with her and her friend! It was loads of fun, and I’m really glad I made a new friend today!

Today was Otaru Pride! Before heading over to the meetup area, when I arrived in Otaru, I headed over to to Mister Donut to potentially grab some boba for a morning drink. The day was going to be a hot day, and after thinking about it, I decided maybe a milky drink might be too… Continue reading Taiwan Fungui Fruit Tea Mango & Passion Fruit (台湾粉粿（フングイ）フルーツティマンゴー＆パッションフルーツ) – Mister Donut
I’m going home after spending a weekend in Sapporo with some friends! Today we went to the handmade village, saw a Ghibli exhibition, and then parted ways as everyone else had a bit of a time crunch going home. I got lunch, some dessert, and then stopped by Gong Cha on the way home. I… Continue reading Black Milk Tea (ブラック ミルクティー) – Gong Cha
Today I’m hanging out in Sapporo with some friends. After going to the Sapporo Museum, we went to Round 1 to end the night with bowling. Surprisingly, browsing the food options, I found boba in the menu, which meant I had to try it. There were a few varieties to choose from for boba, but… Continue reading Tapioca Matcha Milk (タピオカ抹茶ミルク) – Round 1
I’m back in Hokkaido (and Japan!) after a brief trip in the States (but this blog has been lively with that content). Of course, on the way home, I have to grab some boba for the road, and I’m back at Gong Cha to get their seasonal tea as a milk tea. As I said… Continue reading Chardonnay Grape Milk Tea (シャルドネグレープミルクティー) – Gong Cha
