I’m in Sapporo today to go get hot pot with my friend for her first hot pot experience! After hot pot, we went to this year’s German Christmas Market, and got some sweet treats. Of course, that included boba for the way home. As of 11/18, Gong Cha has come out with a festive holiday… Continue reading Amaou Strawberry Noel Milk Tea (あまおうノエルミルクティー) – Gong Cha
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
Happy Sports Day! Today I’m getting some brunch in Sapporo, before heading to Otaru to see a movie (it was very good). I’m getting boba before I leave Sapporo though, and I’m going for Gong Cha because there’s a new seasonal for spooky season. This seasonal looks pretty interesting. The series is called Apple &… Continue reading Apple & Blood Orange Milk Tea (アップル＆ブラッドオレンジミルクティー) – Gong Cha
I’m back in Hokkaido after spending the long weekend in Aomori! My plan today was take a final look at this years Autumn Festival, and take the newest The Alley seasonal on the bus ride home on the bus, when I went to go check if they had it, just my luck they had sold… Continue reading Kyoho Grape Oolong Milk Tea (巨峰ウーロンミルクティー) – Gong Cha
Today’s a casual Saturday Sapporo trip, running around doing some shopping and eating seasonal foods. I was planing on ending my day with boba from The Tea, but it seems as of August 22, they closed this location and are moving to Cocono, opening on September 12. This was a bit of a plot twist,… Continue reading Earl Grey Milk Tea (アールグレイミルクティー) – Gong Cha
I did not expect to be in Sapporo this soon after my Taiwan trip, but one of my friends will be leaving Japan soon, and I likely won’t see her for a while. Today we had a casual hangout, and after saying our goodbyes, I got boba for the bus ride home. After my drink… Continue reading Blue Hawaii Milk Tea (ブルーハワイミルクティー) – Gong Cha
Pardon, but this was yesterday’s drink number 1 (yes, there’s another). Yesterday as a busy travel day, as I headed to Taiwan for the second time this year! On the way to get my early lunch, I stopped by Gong Cha for boba, because I thought I’d get into Taipei a bit late, and just… Continue reading Pear and Berry Milk Tea (洋梨ベリーミルクティー) – Gong Cha
Today I took my new neighbor on a central Sapporo day tour! We walked around, saw all the Sapporo basics around the station area, and I ended the trip with boba for the bus ride home. We were already at the bus stop, and Gong Cha was the closest. The new “seasonal” option doesn’t come… Continue reading Crunchy Matcha Milk Tea (サクサク抹茶 ミルクティー) – Gong Cha
It’s a long weekend, so I’m making a brief weekend trip to Furano! I have to make a stop in Sapporo first to change busses, and there’s just enough time to me to grab boba at Gong Cha before hopping on the bus to Furano. I believe this is the yearly peach seasonal, but I… Continue reading Pichi Pichi Peach Milk Tea (ピチピチピーチ ミルクティー) – Gong Cha
Today I went to Sapporo to hang out with my friend, and then get afternoon tea with her and her friend! It was loads of fun, and I’m really glad I made a new friend today!
