Happy Sports Day! Today I’m getting some brunch in Sapporo, before heading to Otaru to see a movie (it was very good). I’m getting boba before I leave Sapporo though, and I’m going for Gong Cha because there’s a new seasonal for spooky season. This seasonal looks pretty interesting. The series is called Apple &… Continue reading Apple & Blood Orange Milk Tea (アップル＆ブラッドオレンジミルクティー) – Gong Cha
Today I hung out in Hirosaki to get some apples and do some sightseeing! Beforehand, I did some research to see if there was any boba in town, and it turns out there is one shop that claims to be a boba specialty spot (it’s also a chicken bento spot under a different name?). At… Continue reading Brown Sugar Milk Black Tea (こがし黒糖ミルクティ) – Natural Candy
This is my last boba of my Taiwan trip before heading back to Japan, and was the boba I got yesterday morning at the airport. Our flight was pretty early in the morning, but luckily, I did my research, and it seems both proper boba shops are open from 6am. These are definitely my top… Continue reading Black Tea Latte (紅茶拿鐵) – Chun Sui Tang
This is also a yesterday’s yesterday drink, and also, that night’s drink. We ate a lot yesterday after browsing around Tainan (thanks to my cousin for being a really great local guide!), and after what I thought was dinner, we went out for part 2 at a xiao long bao place, dubbed the Ding Tai… Continue reading Pearl Red Tea Latte (珍珠紅茶拿鐵) – Cha Nung
Next up on posts I didn’t have time for yesterday, is my evening drink, and my first boba of the Taiwan trip! We ended up getting to the hotel late, and we had to go out for some real food on first night! And, on the way, I had to get boba. Seems like most… Continue reading Boba Milk Tea (珍珠奶茶) – Come Buy Tea
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
My boyfriend went on a short trip to Tokyo this weekend to see his friend, and came back today! He was getting boba from The Alley and and of course I took him up on his offer to get one too. Last up on the milk tea list I have to try here is their… Continue reading THE ALLEY Assam Milk Tea (THE ALLEY アッサムミルクティー) – The Alley
Today was a day at the National Palace Museum, and we ended the day with a fancy hot pot dinner. After that, the day is truly not done without some boba. I wanted something from their fresh milk section, which weirdly enough is not that many. They did have a Thai Tea though, which is… Continue reading Shan Shan Red Tea Latte (姍姍紅茶拿鐵) – Truedan
Happy New Year! Today was mostly a chill day after going to sleep past midnight, and I didn't really have any plans. I assumed most stuff would be closed today, but you know what's not closed, big corporations, yay! Specifically, I had been meaning to go to Target to buy snacks to take back to… Continue reading Special Boba Milk Tea – BenGong’s Tea
Today my family and I went out to try a new brunch place. Speaking of this plaza, there is Orobae with the endless line. While my dad went to go brave the line for us (the real mvp), we killed some time in Daiso and Mitsuwa. Orobae has really changed their menu, especially the milk… Continue reading Red Jade Milk Tea – Orobae
