My friend and I are hanging out in Harajuku today! In the morning we went to the Starbucks Reserve, had some drinks, and then hung out the rest of the day in the Harajuku and Shinjuku area. Harajuku is known for trendy fashion and street foods, and boba is no exception (I spotted at least… Continue reading Tapioca Milk Tea (タピオカミルクティー) – Xing Fu Tang
My dad’s in Sapporo to come see me while he’s in Taiwan for business, and I had a holiday today, so we met up and did a bit of touring and shopping! Read about that over on my Japan blog, here. I ideally wanted boba today, and was trying to go for Shin An Ju,… Continue reading Maple TieGuanYin Milk Tea (メープル鉄観音ミルクティー) – The Alley
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
Today’s my first full day in Japan! I landed last night, but my group of friends were too tired yesterday to go to anything, so I’m going out for the first time today. There was a group this morning that went to go get boba, but they went real early since the store opens at… Continue reading “Bonsai” Garden Milk Tea – The Alley Lujiaoxiang
My sister was craving the freeze-dried strawberries from Trader Joe's, so to get her out of the house and spend some time with her, we went on a Trader Joe’s run together. Trader Joe's is right next to Omomo, and since we finished our shopping right when they opened (and the line wasn't too long!)… Continue reading Four Seasons Tea – Omomo Tea Shoppe
Today’s a Spectrum day with the family to run some shopping errands to prepare for my upcoming trip. We hit up a few stores, bought macarons and Yogurtland for my sister, and my mom wanted drinks from The Alley. It was around 4:30 when I ordered, and I was thinking about what I haven’t had… Continue reading Ube Taro Brown Sugar Deerioca Milk – The Alley
Today my boyfriend came to town! We had a dinner date at a hot pot place I’ve been meaning to try out, and since Diamond Jamboree is kind of close by, I decided to stop there for post-dinner drink at Sunright, one of my personal favorite spots. Sunright has a few new additions to their… Continue reading Wintermelon Latte – Sunright Tea Studio
My dad suggested getting Omomo today while he was out, and of course me (and my mom) won't turn down a drink! I also went out to buy new glasses frames, and on my way back it's a perfect mid-day and pre-workout snack and pick me up, since I was feeling hungry and a little… Continue reading Oolong Milk Tea (#2) – Omomo Tea Shoppe
Today’s my first full day back at home! I needed to get passport photos done, and my mom drove me since she had other errands to do. While we were in the area, I asked if she wanted a drink, and she obviously said yes. Orobae has a line as usual, and I didn’t want… Continue reading White Peach Oolong Milk Tea – Cloudy Co.
I initially found this tiny ice cream thing (not explicitly ice cream!) at my local Mitsuwa, along with a matcha with red bean and mochi version of it. I really liked the matcha version, as it had a good balance of all the components, and the packaging itself comes in a good pre-portioned snack size.… Continue reading Brown Sugar Boba Milk Tea Frozen Dessert – Imuraya
