Moved a little west from the previous location, I headed towards "Ario" through a connecting passage on the second floor of the newly established "Naeho Station". Currently, you have to walk outside for a few dozen meters from the north exit, but from March 10, 2023, the connecting passage will be completed, eliminating the need to walk outside. After wandering inside and doing some grocery shopping at Ito-Yokado for dinner, I stopped by "Purupuru Ario Sapporo Store" to quench my thirst. I carefully looked at the menu and ordered a "Black Sugar Tapioca Milk Tea (Medium size) @380" with reduced sweetness and less ice. I paid with PayPay and received my order in just a few seconds. I sat down in the first-floor food court. The drink had the perfect level of sweetness for my taste, and you can also order it unsweetened, although a bit of sweetness might be better for this type of drink. The tea didn't have a special flavor, but the soft and chewy texture of the tapioca was good. The reasonable price was also impressive. They have a small variety of Taiwanese sweets like "Taiwanese Castella" and "Almond Jelly" available. I'm curious about the "Paw Financier". Overall, it was a satisfying meal. Unfortunately, I forgot to take a picture before drinking it.

Located on the 1st floor of Ario Sapporo in Higashi Ward, Sapporo City, Hokkaido, this tapioca shop sells not only tapioca but also Taiwanese castella and Taiwanese wheel cakes. The store is filled with colorful illustrations on the counter. The main color theme of the store seems to be green, with various people enjoying tapioca drinks. The Chocolate Banana Shake for 530 yen is a Sapporo exclusive, created in celebration of the store's 1st anniversary. It is a generous size shake made with frozen banana, milk, and chocolate blended together. It is cold and delicious, but lacks a strong chocolate flavor. The tapioca pearls are chewy and enjoyable. However, the frozen banana chunks remain and are difficult to suck up through the straw. It would be better if they could improve this aspect.

"Bull Pulu" in Sapporo is a place where I work, but I haven't been able to do any activities at all. I didn't even take a lunch break. I aimed to become a ramen restaurant, but was invited by locals to revisit a place. If it's delicious, then there's no problem, but if it's not tasty, that's another story. Before returning to the hotel, I stopped by at Ario to earn a little extra money. There was a shop I didn't know about - Taiwanese Castella? Taiwan is the country that came to help first during disasters, so I feel a sense of gratitude. I didn't directly receive any help, but I still feel grateful. That's why I bought the Castella. The Castella had a delicious cream with a moderate sweetness. The sponge was fine-grained and moist, different from other types, but still delicious. The cream wasn't too sweet, which was good."

On a certain weekday, I had some time for lunch and decided to visit a tapioca shop inside Nayamidori Ario. The parking lot had plenty of spaces available. The shop was located on the first floor... Wait, it wasn't in the food area, so I searched around for a bit... Ah, there it is! It was a small shop next to Ishiya Seika. I was interested in trying the Taiwanese castella, but this time I ordered a drink only - "Strawberry Yogurt with a little ice and tapioca (450 yen)". I took a sip... Wow! It had been a while since I had tapioca, but the yogurt drink with strawberry flavor was not too thick. The tapioca had a strong brown sugar taste and was chewy, enhancing the overall flavor. Initially, the combination felt a bit strange, but I got used to it and enjoyed it. The ice was not crushed, which was convenient as it didn't get sucked up. I think I can find this shop easily next time. Thank you for the meal.

Lake Shikotsu cannot be circled around, so I ended up taking a detour drive back to Sapporo via Chitose instead of circling around and returning. I thought about stopping by Ario, and decided to explore the area. I got a Natadecoco drink to go from Blue Pearl, which is also in Yokkaichi. It's my second Natadecoco drink since coming to Sapporo, and it's much more affordable than the one from Jiarei. The prices are: Milk Tea (M) - 350 yen, Calpis (M) - 330 yen, Mango Calpis (M) - 380 yen. I asked for less ice in mine, while the kids got the regular amount. Payment with d払い is possible!!! We sat in the free space next to Rokkatei and enjoyed the drinks. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I wasn't sure when I would be able to go back to school, so I went to Nayoshi station to buy another train pass after getting a refund. On my way back, I stopped by Ario mall. The entire mall and food court were closed. The Loft store I wanted to visit was also closed. Even though it was a Sunday, it was deserted. It was sad to see a place that should have been bustling with people buying seasonal items like athletic shoes and sports festival goods so empty. My daughter wanted me to buy her a drink from a new tapioca shop that she really likes, but I hesitated because it was expensive. This shop had a lot of tapioca pearls and was cheaper than others. I usually drink the strawberry flavor, which is delicious and I recommend it, but I was curious about the brown sugar flavor. I ended up giving in to my daughter's request. I ordered the Brown Sugar Tiger Milk tea with normal ice. It looked fun as my daughter eagerly drank it. When I took a sip, it was so delicious and sweet. I mixed it thoroughly and enjoyed the chewy texture of the tapioca pearls. Even though it was sweet, I found myself getting hooked on the taste. I used the straw to suck up the tapioca pearls and enjoyed the chewy texture. I was impressed by how delicious tapioca can be. The ratio of the brown sugar was not equal to the milk, but it was still good. I would definitely like to be invited to drink this again. Thank you for the meal.

I came to Ario ^_^ After eating lunch, I decided to have a little something to refresh my mouth. (I made a mistake in the order of the reviews!) A flashy new store called Burupuru has opened! It seems to mainly focus on Taiwanese sweets such as tapioca and Taiwanese castella. I saw on the menu that you can change from tapioca to nata de coco, so I decided to try a drink with nata de coco! Mango Tiger Milk M 450 yen including tax Changed from tapioca to nata de coco (free) After waiting for about 3 minutes, it was ready. I enjoyed it in the eat-in corner. It's quite sweet. The milk feels heavy. The nata de coco is cut into rectangular shapes, making it quite difficult to suck up, so tapioca is easier to drink. Recently, there have been more places offering nata de coco as a substitute, so I had high hopes, but this is difficult to drink (≧∇≦) I can enjoy the texture of nata de coco, so it's not bad, but it's so difficult to drink that you might forget the taste! lol lol It seems that a reevaluation of the processing method for nata de coco is necessary ^ ^ Thank you for the meal ^_^

After finishing lunch on a day off, I headed to Ario Sapporo where a new shop had recently opened. Upon arrival, I found a national tapioca drink chain that was quite popular, with more than 10 people waiting in line. While waiting, I carefully checked the menu and decided to go with black sugar tiger milk tea for my drink, without ice and with normal sweetness. As there was a promotion for free extra tapioca, I got the extra serving. My companion also wanted to try the Taiwanese castella cake, so we shared one. The black sugar tiger milk tea had large, chewy tapioca pearls with a nice flavor of black sugar and a gentle sweetness, making it delicious. The tiger milk tea had a good balance of black sugar, milk, and tea flavor, creating a tasty drink. The Taiwanese castella cake was in the form of baby castella, making it easy to eat on the go, although it lacked the fluffy texture of traditional Taiwanese castella. Despite the crowd due to the recent opening, the tea was delicious, and I would like to come back when it's less busy. Thank you for the meal.

Ario Sapporo has been renovated and the store has completely changed! - Milk tea (unsweetened, no ice) I've never tried this type of tea before, but I really liked it! I wonder if they use Taiwanese tea leaves? I'm really curious about what kind of tea leaves they use...! The M size was enough, and the L size seems quite large, so it might be hard to finish drinking it haha. The tapioca pearls were large and chewy, and the brown sugar was quite sweet, so it was totally fine without any added sugar! It might have been too sweet if I had added some. - Taiwanese Castella cake It was my first time trying Taiwanese Castella cake, but they told me it's different from the actual Taiwanese Castella cake haha. Oh, really? It was a bit burnt and moist, but it had a strong egg flavor, more like a moist financier... I realized I need to try the square Taiwanese Castella cake after all haha. I didn't really understand the Castella cake, but since the drink was delicious, I want to come back for more! Ario is easy to visit, so I want to come back. Thank you, Wu-ta-san!! (((orz

"When it gets hot, my symptoms worsen, as I have a designated rare disease. Unfortunately, there is no medication that suits my rare disease yet. I have upcoming hospitalizations scheduled for September last year, January this year, and now possibly in May or June due to the COVID-19 situation. Thank you for your continued support. [April 2021] "Bubble Pearl Ario Sapporo Store" is a nationwide chain of tapioca drinks and Taiwanese sweets. It has about 80 stores from Aomori in the north to Kyushu and Okinawa in the south. This is the first store to land in Hokkaido. It opened on April 16, 2021. I visited for the first time with my usual companion, straight from the usual hospital. The store is located in the Higashi Ward area of Sapporo, on the first floor of Ario Sapporo. Please check the exact location of the store on Tabelog. It was a visit before noon on a weekday. There was one customer before us, and no customers behind us. Looking at the menu, they also have items like almond jelly and red bean soup. From the tapioca drinks, I ordered "Strawberry Tiger Milk M ¥450". As part of the grand opening, there was a free service of "extra tapioca" from April 16th to 18th. Of course, I opted for the "extra tapioca" (laughs). I also chose to have less ice. After a few minutes of waiting, my usual companion received the drink. I mixed it well before enjoying it. Strawberry Tiger Milk M: It's a moderately cold iced drink with less ice. It's a type that you mix with a thick straw. It's easy to drink with a moderate sweetness and coldness. There are large tapioca pearls with a chewy texture at the bottom. The tapioca has a delicious brown sugar flavor. Price: ¥450 (tax included) The "Strawberry Tiger Milk" is very easy to drink with a moderate sweetness and flavor. It goes down smoothly. The tapioca itself has a top-notch taste. Sapporo is still chilly in April. The highest temperature the other day was 8°C. The slightly warm "Strawberry Tiger Milk" feels gentle on the body. The location is good, so I have a feeling it will become popular. Next time, I might try the "Petit Red Bean Soup". I'm happy that they have traditional Japanese sweets. It was delicious, thank you."
