The other day I was in my local grocery store, minding my own business. I passed through the small drinks section, and caught a glimpse of a boba drink.

I’m in Sapporo because it’s a long weekend! Sunday’s Culture Day, and because it’s a Sunday, we get Monday off. Huzzah! I promise this is the last three day weekend of the year (boo).

As of July 2, 7/11 Japan has released a limited bottled tea collaboration with Gong Cha! Although they're just bottled teas with no boba (honestly, thank goodness because that probably wouldn't end up well), they're both Gong Cha tea products. I thought they tengentially fit the blog. There's two drinks in this collaboration, and first… Continue reading Brown Sugar Oolong Milk Tea (黒糖烏龍ミルクティー) – Gong Cha
Today I hung out in Hirosaki to get some apples and do some sightseeing!

The other day I got an email from Coffee Bean, and I thought it was a normal periodic advertisement email, so I swiped to delete it. It was as it was being deleted that I saw BOBA written in the subject line, immediately undeleted it, and read the email. Turns out, Coffee Bean is hopping… Continue reading Ceylon Milk Tea with Brown Sugar Boba – Coffee Bean and Tea Leaf
I’m heading back home to Hokkaido from my Taiwan trip! With plenty of time at the airport this time around, it meant I had plenty of time to get boba.

Oh hey here's a new boba adjacent product: protein powder. It's technically not even a boba product because there isn't boba in or advertised on the product, which is actually is probably for the better. Imagine if there were dried boba chunks in there...ew. I'm glad they didn't try to advertise it with any signs… Continue reading Brown Sugar Milk Tea Flavour Impact Whey Protein – MyProtein
