I’m going home today after spending the weekend in Sapporo! I’m planning on going home with my friend from Otaru, so I’m just taking the bus to Otaru today. Nevertheless, I will get a boba, and for the bus ride home. The Alley also just released their holiday drinks this year, and though I do… Continue reading Berry Christmas Smoothie (ベリークリスマススムージー) – The Alley
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). Today I’m back at The Tea to get a drink. Weirdly enough, they don’t have a matcha only option. They have… Continue reading Brown Sugar Matcha Milk (黒糖抹茶ミルク) – The Tea
It’s Day 3 of the three day weekend and time to say goodbye to Asahikawa. Yesterday the pudding stall we wanted to go to sold out of most of their flavors, and so we wanted to go back early when the festival started the next day to get our choice at all the puddings. This… Continue reading Matcha Tapioca – Komugi no Dorei
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
Today I’m hanging out in Sapporo with some friends. After going to the Sapporo Museum, we went to Round 1 to end the night with bowling. Surprisingly, browsing the food options, I found boba in the menu, which meant I had to try it. There were a few varieties to choose from for boba, but… Continue reading Tapioca Matcha Milk (タピオカ抹茶ミルク) – Round 1
Today’s my second day back in town! Today was a rest day for me, but also running some in-town errands, as well as getting a manicure and pedicure with my sister (hence the nails in the picture)! I wasn’t sure what to order and decided to leave it up to me at the ordering tablet.… Continue reading Cold Lavender Honey Matcha Latte – Junbi
I’m briefly going home for about a long weekend for a special occasion (also delaying uploading this post for personal reasons)! So last year they had a similar type of “freshly picked matcha” up for a pretty limited time last year too (I think the period was for two weeks or so) but I missed… Continue reading First Flush Matcha Milk Tea (一番摘み抹茶 ミルクティー) – Gong Cha
Today’s our full day in Hakodate! We did a lot of eating local foods, and seeing sakura at some major points. I did some research on boba in Hakodate, and the only promising search that came up was Cafe Rob near Goryokaku Park. We were there earlier to see the sakura, so it worked out… Continue reading Matcha Milk (抹茶ミルク) – Cafe Rob
I’m finally back at The Tea today! Today I went back to Sapporo after a week for various reasons, did a lot of shopping (but not for me), walking around, and buying food. My boba of choice for the bus ride home today is The Tea. It’s strawberry season, and I’ve been in a huge… Continue reading Strawberry Matcha Milk (苺抹茶ミルク) – The Tea
I didn't have a drink today, but I did go do some shopping with my dad, and one of our stops was Trader Joe's. It's next to the Omomo, but today the line (as usual) was pretty long, and instead, I wanted to check out the new Wanderlust Creamery that opened up somewhat recently. It's… Continue reading Thai Tea with Boba Ice Cream – Wanderlust Creamery
