On November 28th, my sister and I went to see Wicked Part 2 in Theaters! Good movie, and I got free popcorn as a birthday reward! It didn't feel as long as Part 1, and I thoroughly enjoyed Part 2. I should see the actual musical sometime as comparison...my parents decided to get Din Tai… Continue reading Milk Tea (Jasmine) – Din Tai Fung
On October 1st, I hung out with a college friend I haven't seen in 3 years! She's from San Jose, and since I'm now in Northern California, I'm a lot physically closer to her (but I suppose anywhere beats the distance with Japan). I don't have an easy way of getting to her, but she's… Continue reading Green Thai Tea #3 – 7 Leaves Cafe
On August 21, I went out to go get boba at Sunright with my sister! We wanted a change of pace from what we were getting recently, and I brought up Sunright, which I haven't had in a while. I have mostly exhausted Sunright's normal milk tea menu at this point, so I looked to… Continue reading Strawberry Jasmine Tea – Sunright Tea Studio
On August 17, I met up with college friends I haven't seen in three years! We decided to meet up at Jam Jam to get boba. My friends haven't been, and you can't go wrong with Jam Jam. I was feeling experimental with their menu, and I think their signature menu is actually the fruit… Continue reading Green Grape Smash – Jam Jam Tea Lab
On August 13th, my sister and I were hanging out, and we decided to go get a drink. I needed the driving practice anyway, so we picked a place close by, and headed to Omomo! Summer is peach season, and Omomo usually does seasonal drinks (I believe their Itchy Peachy is quite popular). Along with… Continue reading Second Momo – Omomo Tea Shoppe
On August 9th, I went out to Harajuku to do some shopping, as my time in Japan was slowly coming to a close...There's quite a few boba options in Harajuku (as expected of a bustling area for shopping and young people), including the Japanese Xing Fu Tang, which I've been before. This time, I decided… Continue reading White Peach Green Tea (白桃ジャスミンティー) – Koi The
July 27th was my second full day in Nagoya! I hung out with my boyfriend in the morning, and the I had Ghibli park reservations in the afternoon. Before heading over, I stopped by the Osu area for food, and there was a Chatime in the area. I’ve always seen Chatime around in America and… Continue reading Jasmine Milk Tea (ジャスミングリーンミルクティー) – Chatime
Quite a bit of a delayed post (I’ve had two more drinks since then, to be written!), this drink is from 7/19. I went to Hyogo for a day, spending the morning in Himeji, and the afternoon in Kobe. While I was there, I stopped by Chinatown. And when there’s a Chinatown, there has to… Continue reading Jasmine Milk Tea (ジャスミンミルクティー) – Ten Fu’s Tea
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
My family is taking a brief Bay Rea trip! Mostly so I can go see my boyfriend over winter break while I’m in America, so thanks to the family for taking me! We stopped by a Chinese restaurant in San Carlos last night, and incidentally, the Boba Guys we found on Google happened to be… Continue reading Apple Fresca – Boba Guys
