Today I flew back to Hokkaido from Tokyo! As per tradition, since I had some time before our bus back home and I’d like a drink for the 2 hour ride home, I’m getting boba, today from The Alley. It’s mainly because I have a free upsize coupon that I need to use by the… Continue reading Brown Sugar Tapioca Matcha Latte (黒糖タピオカ抹茶ラテ) – The Alley
I’m in Tokyo with my family! Today we’re in Ginza to do some last minute Tokyo shopping for my mom, as it’s our last full day in Tokyo. Before they came, I remember my mom saying she didn’t want any boba in Japan, but here we are…it’s also super hot, so a refreshing drink hits… Continue reading Jasmine Milk Tea (ジャズミンミルクティー) – Truedan
My grandma and I went to Ding Tai Fung at Taipei 101 this morning. Aside from an amazing lunch, apparently the main reason she wanted to go to that location was because she wanted me to try a boba place over there. After eating and doing some snack shopping and waiting at the stop for… Continue reading Chilai Oolong Tea Latte (琥珀烏龍拿鐵) – Truedan
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
