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
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
Yi Fang is yet another big Taiwanese boba chain that has made it's way over to America and started populating there as well, and I guess Japan, since I've been to one there. (My cousin said they went bankrupt in Taiwan, so maybe they're just trying to recuperate business elsewhere?) I think to make themselves… Continue reading Fruit Teas, Brown Sugar, and More – Yi Fang Taiwan Fruit Tea
Today my family is staying one night in Sendai! After a whole day of eating Sendai foods and specialties, we did some late night food shopping in the basement of a department store near our hotel, and stumbled upon Bull Pulu. We saw it advertising boba, and after we finished our shopping, we circled back… Continue reading Houjicha Milk Tea (ほうじ茶ミルクティー) – Bull Pulu
I’m in Tokyo with my family! Today we’re in Ginza to do some last minute Tokyo shopping for my mom, as it’s our last full day in Tokyo. Before they came, I remember my mom saying she didn’t want any boba in Japan, but here we are…it’s also super hot, so a refreshing drink hits… Continue reading Jasmine Milk Tea (ジャズミンミルクティー) – Truedan
Happy Lemon is a pretty big franchise, again originating from Taiwan, and well, they're known for their lemon drinks, along with cheese foam and various toppings. My friend liked their lemon and cheese foam stuff, but personally, I'm not a huge lemon flavor person in general (or cheese foam for the matter, but sometimes I'll… Continue reading Lemons and Waffles – Happy Lemon
I'm in Sapporo today to go see the Yosakoi Soran Festival! It’s one of the biggest events in Sapporo every year, and I was excited especially so because one of my coworkers is dancing in it. Apparently people come from all over Japan to participate, and there are so many teams participating this year according… Continue reading Sun Shine Muscat Yogurt Milk Tea (SUNシャインマスカットヨーグルミルクティー) – Gong Cha
