Please bring back Jasmine Green Tea!!!! I used it for my first mobile order. The store is located right next to the entrance of Shibuya MODI. There is also an eat-in space inside the store, making it easy to use.

Taking a break with tapioca. Had matcha milk tea after a long time. The key to the taste lies in the process of steaming and roasting the tea, with Gon Cha's original blend bringing out the aroma, flavor, and richness to the fullest. The tea is said to have a bright, vibrant color like a spring tea field. Topped with tapioca pearls. Swirl them around to make them chewy before drinking. Ah, I feel refreshed after a break for my tired body. Thank you for the meal.

There is a tapioca shop in Shibuya Modi. Before the coronavirus, there used to be long lines, but now you can buy it easily. ★Black milk tea M size 420 yen Tapioca plus 70 yen Since it's takeout, the consumption tax is 8% Total 529 yen for M size, which is quite voluminous. Since it's takeout, I ended up sitting in front of Modi to drink it. There were few people inside the store, but there are seats available. I chose zero sweetness, but there is a slight sweetness in the tapioca, making it easy to drink. Using a thick straw, I sucked up the tapioca~! The chewy tapioca is delicious. I received a coupon, so I will come back again.

I went to Gong cha, a Taiwanese tea specialty chain store located on the 1st floor of Shibuya Modi (Marui) in Shibuya. Even after the tapioca boom, Gong cha has been able to maintain a stable presence. Sometimes you just crave it, right? As the weather gets colder, I came across a sign advertising Hot Tea with Tapioca and got curious to try it. [What I bought] Hot Milk Tea with Tapioca It's only natural, but when you put tapioca in hot tea, it becomes a slimy and slippery texture. It wasn't bad, but tapioca is all about enjoying its chewy texture, so I realized I prefer it in iced drinks. By the way, the milk tea here is delicious both hot and cold. It's interesting that the hot drink comes with a straw for sucking up the tapioca. The thick straw made it slightly easier to drink once the tea started to cool down. Conclusion: Tapioca doesn't have a good texture in hot drinks, it's better in iced drinks.

Gong Cha in Shibuya Modi is a spacious store with not too many people lately, so there are hardly any lines depending on the time. I ordered the limited edition hojicha milk tea with milk foam topping on this day! It has a light taste and a pleasant aroma. The tea itself is quite delicious, so it's tasty even without tapioca. The tapioca has a nice chewy texture. Compared to other shops, I think Gong Cha has delicious tea.

"Gong Cha! Gong cha! Gong cha!!" I went to "Hatsu Gong Cha" (First Gong Cha) and it was quite an experience. I didn't have the courage to visit the holy land of Harajuku, but at my age, Harajuku feels like a different world. I wanted to go to "ROLLY'S ROLL ICE CREAM KYOTO" too, wouldn't that be perfect? Let me explain about "Gong Cha." The name comes from the tradition in ancient China where the highest quality tea was offered to the emperor. Gong Cha made its debut in Japan in September 2015 in the Harajuku-Omotesando area. Originally a Taiwanese tea specialty shop. Here is a simple guide on how to order at Gong Cha: 1. Choose your drink 2. Select the size 3. Decide on sweetness level 4. Choose the amount of ice 5. Pick your toppings. Gong Cha offers a variety of drinks including Original Tea, Gong Cha Special, Milk Tea, Tea Aid, Juices, and Smoothies. You can also customize the sweetness level, ice amount, and add toppings like pearls (tapioca). Remember, tapioca is not included by default, so you need to select it as a topping. The ordering process can be a bit overwhelming, but once you get the hang of it, you'll enjoy your Gong Cha experience. Enjoy!

Nowadays, tapioca milk tea is popular. After seeing long lines, I decided to do some research on tapioca shops. It turns out that the original Gong Cha has a good reputation. I always see long lines at the Shinjuku Nishiguchi, it seems like a hassle to wait in line there. A few months passed and one day, I happened to be in Shibuya for something, and I stumbled upon Gong Cha at Modi. I remembered this place used to be a meat pie shop, it was delicious, it's sad that it's gone, the rise and fall of businesses, I thought to myself as I lined up. I paid with my Marui card and answered a survey to get points, so it's a bit of a deal compared to eating elsewhere (like 10% off with Maru and Maro's 7-day offer). I believe in eating what I want before the tax increase. There was a line, but not too long. The staff seemed accustomed to handling lines, it's part of the shop's system, integrated into their customer service, which makes things smooth. I appreciate this kind of efficiency. The menu was a bit confusing. For a first-timer, it's tough. But for tapioca, I decided on the standard Black Milk Tea with pearls. Complicated. Saying "Today's Coffee S" at Starbucks is much easier. Anyway, I got my milk tea. Luckily, there was a seat available inside, so I enjoyed it there. It was quite delicious. The big tapioca pearls coming through the thick straw were fun. The chewy texture gives a satisfying bite. The milk tea taste was okay, nothing extraordinary. I don't know about other tapioca milk teas, but this one was decent. I might come back, not because it was amazing and I want to have it again, but more like "It was okay. Maybe other items are better? I should try them." It's like a 70% chance of revisiting. It's that feeling of not being able to stop until you find the perfect one. Unlike egg tarts, which I would revisit regardless of the trend, tapioca milk tea doesn't have that same appeal. But it's not bad at all. Thank you for the meal.

It wasn't too crowded for a Saturday. I waited for about 10 minutes. This time, I tried the perfect drink for a hot day - Iron Goddess Milk Tea Smoothie! It was made with Taiwanese Iron Goddess tea leaves, giving it a rich aroma and a subtle sweetness.

It used to be a meat pie shop, but somehow the trendy tapioca drink shop, Gong Cha, has taken over. I had never tried it before, but around 9 pm on a weekday, it wasn't too crowded, so I decided to give it a try. With so many options, I was a bit confused about what to order, so I asked for a recommendation. The friendly female staff suggested the "Black Milk Tea." She asked about the sweetness level, ice amount, and toppings, making it easy for me to place my order. I was impressed by the excellent customer service from the young female staff. I ordered the recommended Black Milk Tea, and it was delicious, although I wished there was less ice. The tapioca at the bottom left me wishing for a better balance in the drink. The milk foam was enjoyable, and I tried it in three different ways as suggested on the lid. I couldn't quite grasp the appeal, but I want to keep experimenting to find my favorite customization. Overall, it was a pleasant experience, and I look forward to coming back. Thank you!

The order was placed in about 15 minutes. Compared to other branches, the service here seems quite fast. However, the menu seems to have changed and it's a bit disappointing that the focus on enjoying the tea leaves has diminished. The milk foam used to be deliciously slightly salty, but now it seems to be less flavorful.

It was a regular weekday evening, but I was able to buy my drink in less than 10 minutes at a place that feels like a shopping mall. I think it will be crowded on weekends. Gong Cha stores always seem to be very busy. The flavor I had that day was Almond Milk Tea with pearls and Ali Shan Oolong Tea with pearls. The Ali Shan Oolong Tea was very refreshing as described in the product description. It had a lighter color compared to regular Oolong Tea but a strong flavor. It's a drink that you can gulp down on a hot day. The tapioca pearls were not too sweet with a good chewy texture, surprisingly filling. By the way, are you good at drinking tapioca pearls? I always end up rushing because I tend to suck them all in at once without chewing.

There is no need for explanation, the famous tapioca shop Gong Cha! It's probably located all over the country, right? There are quite a few in the Kanto region. I went on a holiday, so there was quite a line. Two security guards were managing the line. Surprisingly, the wait was only about 15 minutes. There are many cash registers, so the line moves quickly. I like tapioca milk tea, so I ordered and enjoyed it. It's a world where Instagrammable is the main focus now. Of course, the taste is delicious too! The tapioca is big and chewy, so if you're new to tapioca, I recommend Gong Cha!

The security guard was present even though the restaurant was empty, and there were ropes set up in a zigzag pattern like a bank ATM. However, I was able to place my order smoothly at the counter, but there was a line forming outside by the time I finished waiting. It might have just been good timing. Overall, the black tea had a refreshing taste. The seating area only had window seats available. The staff was average and the hygiene was okay. It seems to be a popular spot.

In the past year, there has been an explosion of tapioca milk tea shops popping up like bamboo shoots after the rain. Among them, Jiare, Cocotoka, and Gong Cha stand out in terms of popularity. During the New Year's sales, I stopped by Gong Cha and it was as bustling as ever. In my opinion, Jiare excels in tea quality, but Gong Cha wins in terms of the chewiness of the tapioca pearls and subtle sweetness. Oh, it was delicious. Long live Gong Cha!

I decided to try this place because tapioca is trending. It seems less crowded than the Spain Slope store. I chose peach flavor. It is definitely tastier than the tapioca I had in Taiwan. The chewy texture is nice. Next time, I might try the milk tea. 691 yen.

Recently, Gong Cha has been rapidly increasing in popularity. It's hard to believe that when it first opened in Shinjuku, there was no one there and the staff were giving out free tea. Now, there are long lines everywhere. I wonder if they were featured on TV. Most of the people waiting in line are young women like high school girls, so it can be a bit intimidating for a lone older man. But, you know, sometimes I feel like going, so it's kind of fun to join the queue occasionally. The tapioca is just average, but a bit on the expensive side. If you've never been before, it might be worth stopping by on a whim.

It's always crowded but you can order quickly! Perfect for using during the wait time! The hojicha latte with tapioca was surprisingly delicious.

I like the taste of tea in tapioca milk tea the most here. I usually order the classic one with extra sweetness. I have loved tapioca milk tea even before it became popular, but recently it's been too crowded and I often have to give up. I hope Gong Cha will start doing delivery service too.

I visited around 3 PM on Monday. Since it was a Monday, the line wasn't too long and I was able to buy it in about 10 minutes! I ordered a medium-sized Oolong Milk Tea with less sweetness and less ice! It was my first time ordering with less sweetness, but it was delicious!
