My boyfriend is heading to Korea today, and I went along with him to drop him off at the airport. I was originally going to get a drink on the way home, but my boyfriend mentioned he wanted to get a drink on the way to the airport like we did the previous times, so… Continue reading Tropical Fruits Slush (トロピカルな果実) – The Alley
Back in Sapporo to pick up my boyfriend from his long Tokyo/Kyoto trip! We spent the night yesterday, and we’re getting boba for the way home obviously. The Alley has some current spring seasonals, so I wanted to see if there were any that looked promising. I was kind of thinking of going there anyway,… Continue reading Kiwi Slush (香りと恋するキウイ) – The Alley
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
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 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
Today’s the Sapporo full day with the boyfie! We walked around a lot, and I showed him all the places that I knew of within walking distance in the area. We ate some good food, and of course since I’m out of town I have to get my boba fix in as much as possible,… Continue reading Peach Oolong Milk Tea (白桃烏龍ミルクティー) – The Alley
I'm back in Sapporo today! The main goal for today was to watch a movie, get this cardigan I really wanted, walk around and explore some more, and, try the The Alley here. You know, after the last couple times getting a failed jasmine you might have thought I would have gotten a jasmine. I… Continue reading TieGuanYin Milk Tea (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
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
