You've heard me rave about boba, you've (probably?) heard about my mom raving about boba, but you've (probably!) not heard my dad raving about boba, even if I do talk about him a lot! It's not that he doesn't enjoy boba because he does, and he does have opinions about drinks he has, but he's… Continue reading Dad’s Favorite Boba – Loose Leaf Boba Company
Merry Christmas! We’re heading back home today after our Christmas weekend in Sapporo, and my take-home boba today is going to be from The Tea, since I can get no ice and it won’t melt on me on the bus. I’m excited to try out another one of their tea selections. Today I’m actually trying… Continue reading Taiwan Shanlinxi Oolong Milk Tea (台湾杉林溪烏龍茶ミルクティー) – The Tea
Today I’m in Sapporo for Christmas Eve, and since we had plans in the area, my planned boba spot today was Shin An Ju. I’ve been wanting to try this more local "Taiwanese" boba chain for a while, and since I’m staying overnight I didn’t have to worry about lugging it with the ice all… Continue reading Loole Condora Milk Tea (ルールコンドラミルクティー) – Shin An Ju
Ok so 85 Degrees may not exactly be a boba shop and more of an actual Asian bakery, but they are a bakery from Taiwan, which is the origin of boba. Which also means that along with their bread, there’s a surprisingly big selection of drinks and boba options that it can actually function as… Continue reading Taiwanese Sweets and Drinks – 85 Degrees Bakery
In my quest to try more local, Japanese boba spots is The Tea, which has two locations in Sapporo. I've had this place in mind for a while now, and I figured on my outing today I'd finally try it out. They claim to be one of the more authentic boba places around, and they… Continue reading Tiegyuanyin Oolong Milk Tea (鉄観音ミルクティー) – The Tea
My dad’s in Sapporo to come see me while he’s in Taiwan for business, and I had a holiday today, so we met up and did a bit of touring and shopping! Read about that over on my Japan blog, here. I ideally wanted boba today, and was trying to go for Shin An Ju,… Continue reading Maple TieGuanYin Milk Tea (メープル鉄観音ミルクティー) – The Alley
Today my boyfie and I are going back to my place, and so I do have to get boba since this is our last day in Sapporo and for the bus ride home, ha! Gong cha has another new drink, which is probably another seasonal but really no idea for how long. They really like… Continue reading Strawberry Pistachio Milk Tea (いちごピスタチオミルクティー) – Gong Cha
Today’s the Sapporo full day with the boyfie! We walked around a lot, and I showed him all the places that I knew of within walking distance in the area. We ate some good food, and of course since I’m out of town I have to get my boba fix in as much as possible,… Continue reading Peach Oolong Milk Tea (白桃烏龍ミルクティー) – The Alley
My boyfriend has come to visit! I met up with him in Sapporo right after I got off work, and we got dinner at Sapporo station since it’s right there, and I had a place I wanted to try. Read about that here. I wanted boba if possible, but by the time we finished it… Continue reading Tapioca Matcha Tea (タピオカ抹茶ティー) – 108 Matcha Saro
Tea Maru is a relatively new chain around Southern California. What makes them stand out among the others is that they make their boba in house (think One Zo!) and offer a Fluffy Matcha, which I assume is taking after the Dalgona Coffee trend that started mid-quarantine, except, well, Matcha. When they first opened closer… Continue reading Innovative Drinks and Boba – Tea Maru
