Today I’m in the Harajuku area for a long overdue haircut. It’s peak heat in Japan right now, and my long hair isn’t very convenient at this time of year, so I opted to chop it all off. What’s also very good for heat is a drink! I was looking forward to being in Harajuku… Continue reading Matcha Boba Milk (抹茶タピオカミルク) – Xing Fu Tang
I’m taking a mini Obon vacation over the weekend, and so I’m hanging out in Tokyo with my boyfriend. Our Airbnb is in Asakusa, so earlier in the day we hung out in the otaku capital Akihabara, and dropped by for some boba after dinner before crashing at our Airbnb for the night. Honestly, I… Continue reading Matcha (モチモチ抹茶) – Kocha
Today I stayed in town today, and the weather was pretty nice, so I went out on a walk. Well, my real purpose was to go out to try boba from the cafe next to the bus station. When I first arrived, I noticed this cafe had a bunch of flags out front advertising they… Continue reading Matcha Tapioca (抹茶タピオカ) – 珈琲苑
I'm going to Tokyo today! It's spring break at my schools, which means my sixth graders graduated last week, and the next school year starts in two weeks. I used some of my paid time off to plan a Tokyo trip with a friend, and aligned it with spring break so I wouldn't have to… Continue reading Matcha Milky Au Lait (抹茶 ミルキーオレ) – The Alley
Today my boyfriend and I went out to Sapporo to see the Sanrio 60th Anniversary exhibition at the Museum of Modern Art! You can read about my day on my other blog, here. As per usual, we walked a lot, ate good food, and got boba for the way home! We were in the RiQ… Continue reading Tapioca Uji Matcha Latte (タピオカ宇治抹茶ラテ) – Matcha Cafe & Sweets RiQ
Happy Birthday to the Emperor! Today's a national holiday, which means I get the day off work. It's a little awkward, because it's kind of a random Thursday off (so not a three-day weekend...), and I have to go into work the next day, only for it to turn into the weekend, ha! Anyway, I… Continue reading Matcha Milk (抹茶ミルク) – The Alley
My boyfriend has come to visit! I met up with him in Sapporo right after I got off work, and we got dinner at Sapporo station since it’s right there, and I had a place I wanted to try. Read about that here. I wanted boba if possible, but by the time we finished it… Continue reading Tapioca Matcha Tea (タピオカ抹茶ティー) – 108 Matcha Saro
Woah there. After the crazy non-boba Royal Milk Tea post, here you see another non-boba drink. Yes, it’s another vending machine drink. Yes it’s technically a milk tea. Yes, you can order a matcha latte at boba places. No, I’m not desperate to for content to write about. I have a backlog of some of… Continue reading Matcha Latte (抹茶ラテ) – Craft Boss
Alright, ready for some mediocre boba? Today my friend invited me out for some mediocre boba. Yes, she absolutely did not recommend it, describing it as worse than the boba you get from pho places (if you know what I mean). My town does not officially have any boba shops, but has a couple that… Continue reading Brown Sugar Matcha Tapioca (黒糖抹茶タピオカ)
This morning my sister and her friend had a meetup in Long Beach and my dad chaperoned them. Conveniently, the original Loose Leaf store was around the corner from where the meet-up was, and my mom asked my dad to bring home a drink. It wasn't too far of a trip, and my dad brought… Continue reading Strawberry Matcha Latte – Loose Leaf Boba Company
