I don't know if this slogan is recent or if I didn't hear of it until now, but Cha definitely always gives cups of happiness with their drinks! I had always heard good things about it, but didn't actually try it until a few years ago when I went on excursions to new places one… Continue reading Cup of Happiness – Cha for Tea
Here’s another boba and tea chain, which supposedly comes from Taiwan, Sharetea! A funny anecdote that I think of whenever I’m reminded of Sharetea is the first time my dad saw the storefront and went, Shaw-ray Tea. That was kind of wild. And everyone laughed. Sharetea has a pretty diverse menu of milk teas, fruit… Continue reading Sharing is Caring – Sharetea

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.

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.
