I went to the tapioca drink shop "CoCo Takaoka Shinsaibashi Store". The new "QQ (Sweet Potato Balls)" series, which combines taro and sweet potatoes, has been released. In Taiwan, the chewy texture is affectionately referred to as "QQ", and here, taro and sweet potato dumplings called "Yuyuan" are called QQ. The QQ series includes 5 types: QQ Milk Tea, QQ Black Tea Latte, QQ Pudding Milk Tea, 3Q Milk Tea, and 3Q Black Tea Latte. 3Q consists of taro, sweet potato, and tapioca. The "QQ Black Tea Latte" costs 550 yen with options for ice (normal), sweetness (normal), and customizations. The chewy QQ texture with a strong sweet potato flavor pairs well with the slightly sweet latte. You can customize the amount of ice and sweetness to suit your preferences. It's nice to be able to tailor your drink to your liking. This popular tapioca milk tea brand, with over 3500 stores worldwide, also offers limited-time drinks, so be sure to check them out!

It seems to be the first post from this unexpected shop (゜ロ゜) even though it's a popular place! I wonder why!? Maybe the customers here prefer posting on Instagram more, haha. It's in the middle of the Obon holiday. I came to Honmachi for some work errands and then wandered around Shinsaibashi. It's so hot, too hotーー( ＞Д＜；) It's almost 2 pm and I realized I've only had iced coffee since morning. But in this heat, I can't think of anything I want to eat. Oh, I remember now, trendy girls these days drink tapioca drinks as a lunch substitute! So, I decided to have tapioca as a lunch substituteーー♪ The area around Shinsaibashi, including America-mura, is a fierce battleground for tapioca, so where should I drink it? But in this heat, lining up is impossible. I searched for a shop that was relatively empty on my smartphoneーーand that's how I ended up at this shop. It's a shop that I often see in Taiwan and Bangkok. I was prepared to line up a bit, but to my surprise, there was no line! Thank goodness ( ￣▽￣) It's tough to line up in this heat, but it's also tough for a woman in her forties to line up among the around-20s... I ordered a lactobacillus mango tapioca with 30% sweetness and less ice♪ It looks delicious for some reason ( ￣▽￣) The order was quick, but it took about 5 minutes to be ready. Maybe it takes longer because you can customize the sweetness and ice amount at this shop? While waiting to receive my drink, more and more customers arrived, and there were 5 or 6 groups waiting. It seems I got lucky with no line this time f(^ー^; The drink I received was a generous portion. The taste was refreshingly light, with less mango flavor than I expected. I was imagining a taste like Yakult, but it was more refreshing. It's great for when your throat is dry and parched♪ The tapioca was chewy and delicious♪ I wish it was bigger for even more enjoyment ( ￣▽￣) In the past, I couldn't finish drinking tapioca drinks because they were too sweet, but this time I drank it all! It's super important to be able to adjust the sweetness! Thank you for the meal!
