Inside “THE ALLEY Lalaport Koshien”

It’s on the 2nd floor of Lalaport Koshien.
It’s near the food court.

I could see the shop coming into view, but…
The line was crazy long…

So I had no choice but to join the line among the JKs (high school girls) and JDs (college girls)…
They probably thought I was just some trendy middle-aged guy.

After lining up for about 30 minutes, it was finally my turn.
You order at this counter, then pick up your drink at the counter next to it.
Here’s the menu~~↓

There are so many kinds of milk tea alone.
They even have Japanese tea milk tea.
After thinking it over, I went with the original tea blend “Royal No.9 Tapioca Milk Tea (L)” (600 yen).

This is the pickup counter.
You get a numbered ticket and wait here…

There’s also a small eat-in area.

Ta-da!!!
This is the long-awaited tapioca from THE ALLEY!!
As you’d expect from a specialty shop, the tapioca pearls themselves have a nice sweetness and taste great~~~
And of course, the milk tea made with their original tea blend is fragrant and delicious too.
