Today’s the last day of my three day weekend…I spent the day in Otaru, eating some at some new and old places, and seeing a movie I’ve been hyped to see! I ended the day obviously stopping by Mister Donut for some pretty decent quality boba, and plus it’s close to the station. My timing… Continue reading Brown Sugar Milk with Tapioca #2 (タピオカ黒糖ミルク) – Mister Donut
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
Today was just a chill day back in Akiba, albeit it was raining on and off the whole day. We got Chinese food in the area I found on Google Maps, and then after we got boba! We’re back on Kocha today, because I have to try their Jasmine. For some reason it’s only available… Continue reading Tapioca Milk Tea Jasmine Tea (タピオカミルクティージャスミン茶) – Kocha
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
I’m taking a mini Obon vacation over the weekend, and so I’m hanging out in Tokyo with my boyfriend. Our Airbnb is in Asakusa, so earlier in the day we hung out in the otaku capital Akihabara, and dropped by for some boba after dinner before crashing at our Airbnb for the night. Honestly, I… Continue reading Matcha (モチモチ抹茶) – Kocha
