Chakaa quickly grew to be one of my go-tos while I was in college in San Diego. The vibes were cool, drinks were consistently good, and there was a variety on the menu to chosoe from. The location was also really good, on the middle of Convoy street, and easily accessible from the good food… Continue reading Bobo – Chakaa
Yesterday my friends came to Hokkaido! I spent the day showing them around Sapporo, and for dessert of the day, I took them to KLIM, a popular evening parfait spot for some ice cream. This was yesterday’s treat, so a bit of a late post! What’s this going in the boba blog? Well, KLIM offers… Continue reading Spring Strawberry Parfait with Boba Topping (春のおとずれ贅沢いちごパフェ) – K.L.I.M Sapporo
Today’s my last full day in Fukuoka! My friend and I did an Itoshima trip in the morning, and I went to explore Tenjin by myself in the afternoon. While in Tenjin, I was debating what to get for boba, but ended up going to Chun Sui Tang. Technically not an original shop or unique… Continue reading BUBBLE AMAOU Strawberry Milk Tea (タピオカあまおう苺ミルクティー) – Chun Sui Tang
Today’s my first full day in Fukuoka! Today I did some casual sightseeing around the main Fukuoka city area, including Ohori Park, Fukuoka Tower, and then caught the finale of the Dontaku Festival. My lunch was right next to a boba place that looked promising. The boba scene in Fukuoka is very strong (at least,… Continue reading Premium Oolong Milk Tea (極上ウーロンミルクティー) – Sho Shin Tea
It’s Golden Week in Japan! (Well, this year’s lineup of holidays is not very good, unlike next year’s…). This year I’m traveling to Fukuoka, to eat some local eats, visit a friend, and sightsee! This is the furthest east in Japan I’ve ever been, and probably will be, for a while. On the way to… Continue reading Mango Mini Pearl Milk Tea (マンゴーミニパールミルクティー) – Gong Cha
Oiio Cafe doesn't actually have a website, so the link goes to their Facebook page. I’m still a little confused by the shop’s name, but at least the first time when I ordered I said “oyo” and everything seemed fine with the cashier. This place was definitely such a great find for a day when… Continue reading Oyo? Oeeo? Ollo? – Oiio Cafe Orange
I’m in Sapporo this weekend! The main reason was to see my Sentai live show today, but I think I was decently productive yesterday too. I was thinking about getting boba yesterday, but it just didn’t fit in my schedule. Oh well. I was determined to get one today, and to drink on the bus… Continue reading Earl Grey Milk Tea (アールグレイ紅茶ミルクティー) – The Tea
Yesterday my dad flew into Sapporo to visit me! He had business in Tokyo, and while he was at it, came to Hokkaido to hang out and help me take some things home <3. We had a great time eating meals, and it was good to see him again (after a short period, ha!). After… Continue reading Kagaboucha Tapioka Milk Tea (加賀棒茶タピオカミルクティー) – Tsutsumiya
Here's my drink from yesterday! I came back from Hong Kong in the morning/early afternoon, and the one thing I did before I hopped on the bus back home was pick up boba from Gong Cha. As of 3/27, they came out with the new seasonal line, featuring their supposedly first melon drink! I've feel… Continue reading Melon Melon Milk Tea (メロンメロンミルクティー) – Gong Cha
Yesterday was my last day in Hong Kong! I spent my time there being taken around by extended family, and had an amazing time. Apparently they heard I liked boba, so they sweat out of their way to bring me to some boba shops! A bit shoutout and thank you to them 🙂 Everyday has… Continue reading Traditional Wintermelon with Fresh Milk – Kingyo
