I’m finally back at The Tea today! Today I went back to Sapporo after a week for various reasons, did a lot of shopping (but not for me), walking around, and buying food. My boba of choice for the bus ride home today is The Tea. It’s strawberry season, and I’ve been in a huge… Continue reading Strawberry Matcha Milk (苺抹茶ミルク) – The Tea
Today I’m in Sapporo, because it’s a holiday (Happy birthday to the emperor!), and mainly to do some eating (what’s new?), and Kirby hunting. Spoiler: some went well, some didn’t (but you can check my other blog for those details later). I’m at Gong Cha for my boba home today because of their new seasonal.… Continue reading Cookie & Cream Chocolat Milk Tea (サクほろっ!クッキー＆クリームショコラミルクティー) – Gong Cha
Today I’m heading home from Sapporo, making a stop in Otaru beforehand. On the way to Otaru, I wanted to grab boba in Sapporo since we were leaving, and my choice of the day was The Alley, since there’s some new seasonals. Seems like they’re changing up their app in March, as no more points… Continue reading Chocolate Tea (ショコラティー) – The Alley
I’m in Sapporo this weekend for my second Snow Festival! I went straight from work to Sapporo, and my first stop off the bus was to Gong Cha. I really wanted to snag one of the special bottles, because last time they ran out of the gingerbread man ones before I could get one. For… Continue reading Heartful Bottle Strawberry Alishan Oolong Milk Tea with Pearl (ハートフルボトル パール入り ストロベリー阿里山ミルクティー) – Gong Cha
Today I’m going back home after spending the weekend in Sapporo! As usual, my last stop before getting on the bus is boba, and today I’m stopping by The Tea, as I still have drinks to try, and it’s near one of my bus stops. A while ago I was excited to see they have… Continue reading Winter Melon Green Milk Tea (冬瓜青ミルクティー) – The Tea
Today my boyfriend are in Sapporo for the weekend and that means opportunity for boba! We stopped by Shin An Ju since we were in the area after lunch. To be honest, the only drink I have left to try is the hojicha milk tea, but I was feeling a bit full, and wanted something… Continue reading Tapioca Mango Juice (タピオカマンゴージュース) – Shin An Ju
Ding Tea is another one of those common boba chains around that claims to have originated in Taiwan (if I go to Taiwan, do I care about finding one? Not really). They're a pretty widespread chain, and I think they have a decent following. Back when I was in college, they used to cater a… Continue reading Shake For Life – Ding Tea
I’m back in Japan! Gong Cha came out with a new seasonal on 12/28 for the new year: the Maneki Yuzu Houji. I suppose it’s maneki as in maneki neko, the beckoning cat beckoning the new year. I will say I am typically not a yuzu person, but I was willing to try this out… Continue reading Maneki Yuzu Houji Milk Tea (招き柚子ほうじミルクティー) – Gong Cha
I think right before I left for Japan or around that time last year, 7 Leaves introduced a new item to their small menu: the green Thai tea. Either I wasn't there or I just didn't get the chance to try it, but all I know I that ever since it came out, I've been… Continue reading Green Thai Tea – 7 Leaves Cafe
I’ve actually heard about ChiChaSanChen for a while, having a Michelin-equivalent of boba. I think this location opened more relatively recently though, but still not super close to where I live. To be honest, this wasn’t on my boba bucket list before going back to Japan in a few days, but now my mom is… Continue reading Green Tea – Chi Cha San Chen
