Yesterday was my birthday! This was actually my drink from yesterday, but I was busy all day that I didn't have time to write my post, so apologies for the delay. I spent the weekend in Sapporo hanging out with friends and getting birthday freebies! Of course, I had to get boba on my birthday.… Continue reading Brown Sugar TieGuanYin Milk Tea (黒糖鉄観音ミルクティー) – The Alley
Today I went to Shiraoi to check out the National Ainu Museum, Upopoy! I would have gotten boba there…except it seems like there isn’t any local boba at all. This made a good chance to get boba again in Sapporo, especially to check back at The Alley, another place I haven’t been to in a… Continue reading Grape Yogurt Smoothie with Tea (葡萄のティーグルト) – The Alley
I’m heading home from my brief short vacation to Furano today! I left early in the morning to make a stop in Sapporo for lunch, pick up boba, and then go home. Today, I’m actually getting boba from Tsutsumiya, a small crepe shop in the Daimaru department store Kiyokocho. I actually stumbled upon the fact… Continue reading Roasted Iron Kannon Tapioka Milk Tea (焙煎鉄観音タピオカミルクティー) – Tsutsumiya
Today’s the last full day in Sendai before we head home tomorrow! Today was just a chill day, getting in our last minute local foods and souvenir shopping. Of course, I needed to get boba today! Originally, our lunch place was near the Kouchousan I went yesterday, but when we arrived when they were supposed… Continue reading Tieguanyin Oolong Milk Tea (鉄観音烏龍ミルクティー) – Bull Pulu
Not a boba snack, but I'm finally getting around to actually opening another Taiwan snack I bought almost a year ago (oops!). It's popcorn! It's a packaged snack though, and the lady assured me that unopened the contents would last for a while. I was at Taiwan station with my grandma to go eat at… Continue reading Tieguanyin Popcorn – Magi Planet
This morning I had a dentist appointment, and a variety of factors led us to the somewhat recently opened R&B Tea located in Zion market. I was looking up their menu on Google and Yelp, when I saw that Yelp reported that location closed…funny…and sure enough, when I went in, the store was completely abandoned.… Continue reading Tie Guan Yin Oolong Latte – TPTea
I’m hanging out in Sapporo this weekend because it’s a three day weekend here! I basically explored an area I haven’t been yet, ate lots of food as usual, and no day out is complete without boba. I’m finally back at Shin Am Ju, and I realize I haven’t had it in a hot minute,… Continue reading Iron Milk Tea (鉄観音ミルクティー) – Shin An Ju
I’m at the Airport! Time to go home to Japan…I managed to find a Chun Sui Tang at the airport, and when you see CST, you know there’s gotta be boba. Is it ironic or fitting that my last boba in Taiwan has to be from the place that claims to have originated boba milk… Continue reading TieGuanYin Latte (鐵觀音拿鐵) – Chun Sui Tang
Today my grandma and I went to hang out in the morning and get lunch at Taipei station. I happened to find a branch of the Tao Tao Tea she wanted to take me to in the bottom underground level, and though we missed it yesterday, we were able to go today. She was so… Continue reading Charcoal Roasted TieGuanYin Latte (炭焙鐵觀音鮮奶拿鐵)- Rose House / TaoTao Tea
In my quest to try more local, Japanese boba spots is The Tea, which has two locations in Sapporo. I've had this place in mind for a while now, and I figured on my outing today I'd finally try it out. They claim to be one of the more authentic boba places around, and they… Continue reading Tiegyuanyin Milk Tea (鉄観音ミルクティー) – The Tea
