Matcha Milk (抹茶ミルク) – 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…

Basic Boba – Gong Cha

Here's another pretty big boba chain, and another international one at that! If you've been reading the blog, it's kind of funny I've been getting Gong Cha so much more in Japan just because it's the most accessible one to me at the moment. When I was planning my Korea trip and attempting to look…
