Today I went to Shiraoi to check out the National Ainu Museum, Upopoy! I would have gotten boba there…except it seems like there isn’t any local boba at all. This made a good chance to get boba again in Sapporo, especially to check back at The Alley, another place I haven’t been to in a… Continue reading Grape Yogurt Smoothie with Tea (葡萄のティーグルト) – The Alley
I’ve finally returned to The Tea! It’s been quite a while, but they’ve been in their new home for about a month now, and I was excited to put them on my schedule for my boba for the weekend!

At… Continue reading Brown Sugar Milk Black Tea (こがし黒糖ミルクティ) – Natural Candy
It’s another three day weekend, and this weekend I’m spending it in Aomori! Specifically hanging out in Aomori City and then making a day trip to Hiroshima.

It’s Day 3 of the three day weekend and time to say goodbye to Asahikawa.

This… Continue reading Matcha Tapioca – Komugi no Dorei

Today’s a casual Saturday Sapporo trip, running around doing some shopping and eating seasonal foods.

This was a bit of a plot twist,… Continue reading Earl Grey Milk Tea (アールグレイミルクティー) – Gong Cha

I actually saw this on their website, along with a matcha flavor, that looked… Continue reading Layered Brown Sugar Bubble Tea Flavor Protein Bars – MyProtein
