On August 5, I explored a bit of the Izu area in Shizuoka! The area was cute and charming, with some nice views and cafes, without the hustle and bustle of normal tourist areas. Miraculously, I found a boba shop in this little countryside town! Normally people associate matcha with Kyoto, but Shizuoka is also… Continue reading Matcha Milk (抹茶ミルク) – Musuhi no Tapioca
On July 31st, I landed back in Nagoya from Morioka! After a brief trip to Morioka, I flew back to Nagoya because it'd be more efficient to go to my next destination from there: Numazu, Shizuoka!

July 25th was my last day in Beppu! I was heading out to Nagoya, Aichi, but since my flight was later in the evening, I spent the day chilling around Beppu.

On July 23rd, I arrived in Beppu, Oita! (Yes, this post is a week late, I’m getting to them). I was fully not expecting proper boba in Beppu, and the only place I found boba was this one matcha shop in a mall. With no other option, no harm in trying it at least. There… Continue reading Tapioca Matcha Milk (タピオカ抹茶ミルク) – Sahanji
Quite a bit of a delayed post (I’ve had two more drinks since then, to be written!), this drink is from 7/19. I went to Hyogo for a day, spending the morning in Himeji, and the afternoon in Kobe.
