It’s a double three day weekend! I spent the night out with some new friends last night, and then hung out with them for a bit in Sapporo today. We’re heading back to Gong Cha today for a boba run. I really wanted a Jasmine today! Even though I have food jasmine tea at home… Continue reading Oolong Milk Tea (烏龍ミルクティー) – Gong Cha
Up next on bad (or should I say, fake) is the boba from Family Mart, one of Japan’s biggest convenience store chains. I spotted this gem on one of my first trips to my local Family Mart, and eventually picked this up to try. And now I’m having it today. Family Mart only offers this… Continue reading Tapioca Milk Tea (タピオカミルクティー) – Family Mart
After 3 weeks I’m finally back in Sapporo! Now that I’ve got my internet set up, I’m thinking of taking a trip out every other week so I can at least get out, but not have to spend money on transportation every week. Of course, this is barring any other circumstances like a meetup or… Continue reading Hojicha Milk Tea (焙じ茶 ミルクティー) – Gong Cha
A few weeks ago I was doing my weekly grocery run, and near the juices and bottled coffee section sitting at the edge was this little guy. And I had to get it. It's a bottled boba drink. Is it going to be bad? Probably. Am I still going to try it? Yes, it's boba.… Continue reading Tapioca Milk Tea (タピオカミルクティー) – Emial
I might say, I’m going to The Alley today, and you’ll think “that’s highly suspicious and dangerous, you shouldn’t do that”, and normally you’d be right, but that’s not the case when it’s the boba shop! I remembered when they first opened one near me sometime around the pandemic, and I wanted to try it… Continue reading What’s a Deerioca? – The Alley
I made another bus trip to Sapporo this week, and hung out with a couple of new friends for the day! We ended the day with boba, and also because I wanted to go back to Gong Cha to try the Limited Peach milk tea before it ends at the end of August. The peach… Continue reading Peach Jasmine Milk Tea (ぎゅぎゅっとピーチ ミルクティー) – Gong Cha
Today I made a bus trip to Sapporo! I went with my friend the other day and it was a lot of fun, and today I made the trip myself. I explored a bit, stayed a bit in the station, and of course, now to get boba. I was deciding between Gong Cha or The… Continue reading Alishan Oolong Milk Tea (阿里山ありさん ウーロン ミルクティー) – Gong Cha
Alright, ready for some mediocre boba? Today my friend invited me out for some mediocre boba. Yes, she absolutely did not recommend it, describing it as worse than the boba you get from pho places (if you know what I mean). My town does not officially have any boba shops, but has a couple that… Continue reading Brown Sugar Matcha Tapioca (黒糖抹茶タピオカ)
Today's my last day in town before my flight tomorrow (let's pray nothing happens between then)! Getting my boba fix in will probably be quite difficult where I'm going, so I'm getting my last drink at home before I leave...My sister has volunteering today, so the prefect place to get a pick up would be… Continue reading Taro Storm – Tea Maru
This morning my mom took me to get a facial, and since I needed to go get some things from South Coast Plaza, we stopped there before heading home. Since South Coast is in Costa Mesa, I figured it’d be a good chance to go to Boba Guys right down the street. My mom agreed,… Continue reading Tie Guan Yin Oolong – Boba Guys
