Today’s my first full day in Tokyo! It was quite a hectic morning at the immigration office, and after a tiring day, I hit up a local Kocha after lunch. Truly excited to be having their drinks again. This seasonal Sakura cheese foam tea caught my eye, but in the end I decided to go… Continue reading Royal Tapioca Milk Tea (ロイヤルタピオカミルクティー) – Kocha
The other day I entered a 7/11 and this pineapple jelly dessert caught my eye: with the big black balls on the cover, I couldn’t help but be drawn to a boba dessert. No matter how it is, I had to get it! Turns out, the kanji characters on the lid was the name for… Continue reading Mango Pomelo Sago (楊枝甘露) – Tarami
Yesterday I came back from Tokyo! My dad and I met up with my cousin again for lunch, and my cousin's restaurant pick just happened to be across the street from Truedan. A perfect post-lunch pre-flight drink! One last boba while I'm in Tokyo this trip. This indeed was yesterday's drink, so apologies for the… Continue reading Assam Black Milk Tea (紅茶ミルクティー（アッサム)) – Truedan
I took a quick trip to Tokyo this weekend! I secured tickets to a concert of a group I’m a huge fan of (and their last one as a whole group…), and so I made a slightly last minute trip. When in Tokyo, get boba, and especially, Truedan. It was on the way to my… Continue reading Oolong Milk Tea (ウーロンミルクティー（鉄観音)) – Truedan
On Monday when I passed by The Tea, I spotted their current seasonal drink: passion fruit green tea. I was in the area after I got my drink from The Alley, so I thought about getting it the next time I was in Sapporo. Turns out, my boyfriend was coming back the next day, so… Continue reading Passion Fruit Green Tea (パッショングリーンティー) – The Tea
Yesterday I went to Sapporo to take care of some personal business and casually hang out, do Sapporo things. Personal business ended up being for naught, but I did enjoy my time, and got boba! The Alley finally released a new seasonal: a peach smoothie! Peach season is upon us, as all the peach goodies… Continue reading Peach and Tea Yogurt Smoothie (ピーチティーグルト) – The Alley
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
