Akihabara Tapioca Shops

THE ALLEY Akihabara store

A tapioca shop located across from the Royal Host Akihabara store.
Look for the deer mark and stag!!
The interior of the store has a calming atmosphere, but there are so many people that it's not relaxing at all.

THE ALLEY Assam Tapioca Milk Tea M 500 yen (excluding tax)
Flavor ★★★★
Sweetness ★★☆☆
Chewy ★★★☆

Milk tea with a rich tea leaf flavor.
The tapioca is also softened to just the right degree.
It's no wonder it's a popular restaurant.

Looks great at The Alley

A tapioca shop located near Suehirocho Station along Chuo Dori.

By the way, the payment was cash only.

Chatime Milk Tea R 440 yen (excluding tax) + Pearl S 50 yen (excluding tax)
Flavor ★★☆☆
Sweetness ★★★★
Chewy ★★★☆ I added 50% of the recommended amount of sugar, but it was still quite sweet.
The tapioca is just right, not too hard and not too soft.

Reicha

Located at the back of the izakaya restaurant "Akatsuka."
The former site of the adult bookstore "Autumn Leaf" has been turned into a tapioca shop.
The store's selling point is its suspicious Japanese.

Black tea milk tea 430 yen (tax included)
Flavor ★★★☆
Sweetness ★★★☆
Chewy ★★★☆

I went there with low expectations due to factors such as the store's location, questionable Japanese, and opening time, but to be honest it was pretty good.
This is a highly recommended store with a high level of quality at a low price.
Apparently, once you collect stamps on your card, you can exchange them for merchandise.

MATCHA365

The store opened in July 2019 on the first floor of Don Quijote Akihabara.
In addition to tapioca, they also sell soft serve ice cream and smoothies made with matcha.

Matcha latte 600 yen (tax included)
Flavor ★★★☆
Sweetness ★★★★
Chewy ★★★☆As the name suggests, this is a store that only serves matcha, so we selected the matcha latte.
The flavor and sweetness of matcha hit you at the same time.
I don't like matcha, so I can't tell you if it tastes good or bad.
The tapioca had no core and was just the right amount.

Address: 4-3-3 Sotokanda, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo 101-0021
Business hours: 11:00-20:00
Phone: 03-3525-4825

MOOGA Akihabara store

The store is located along Kuramaebashi-dori Street near Suehirocho.
"Lo Jia Mo" is a Chinese stewed pork sandwich specialty store, but they also sell tapioca.

Tapioca milk tea 430 yen (tax included)
Flavor ★★★★
Sweetness ★★★☆
Chewy ★☆☆☆

Black tea has a strong flavor, so people may either love it or hate it.
The tapioca was hard and some of it still had a core.
The low price is attractive, but is the quality inferior to that of specialty stores?

Touken Ranbu 2.5D Cafe

The store is located opposite UDX.
As the name suggests, it is a Touken Ranbu collaboration cafe.
As of July 2019, they are only open for takeout.

Yamabagiri Kunihiro Royal Milk Tea with Cheese Foam 700 yen (tax included)
Flavor ★★☆☆
Sweetness ★★☆☆
Chewy ★★★☆

Since it was a collaboration drink inspired by a character, there was no regular tapioca milk tea.
For this reason, we selected the drink that is closest to milk tea.
Yamabagiri Kunihiro!! I choose you!!
When writing this article, I had a look at his appearance, and he was a blond young man covered in a white cloth(?).
I see.
Maybe the milk tea represents the hair and the cheese foam represents the fabric?

The taste is not too sweet.
I didn't really understand the cheese foam.
Comes with a sticker. (This is probably the main body.)

It is also possible to add bean paste instead of tapioca.

Looks great at Nigo Cafe

Clear bottled bubble tea 1296 yen (tax included)
Flavor ★★☆☆
Sweetness ★★☆☆
Chewy ★☆☆☆

Probably the most expensive bubble tea in Akihabara.
Since it's a character item, you can imagine the taste.
The hard tapioca probably represents the hardness of Gundarium.
It comes with a cool bottle, so if that's what you're looking for, then this is the one for you.

タピオカミルクティー
Tapioca milk tea 350 yen

Flavor ★☆☆☆
Sweetness ★★★★
Chewy ★★★★

I want to eat a crepe, but I'll hold back and have tapioca milk tea instead.
It was so sweet. Super sweet.
The tapioca is more than just chewy; it's soft and squishy.

[Closed] March 29th Segafredo Zanetti Espresso Suehirocho Store

A cafe near Suehirocho Station.
It's red and the name sounds like it, but it has nothing to do with the certain company that believes in "creativity is life."

Tapioca milk tea 480 yen (tax included)
Flavor ★★☆☆
Sweetness ★★★★
Chewy ☆☆☆☆

It was a super sweet, very firm and extremely tangy tapioca milk tea.
I never thought I'd come across something so unique in a store that wasn't a specialty store.
Is it because it's not a specialty store?
It may have been a low estimate since it had just gone on sale, but still...

Doutor Coffee Shop

Doutor, Japan's largest coffee chain with locations nationwide, will also begin selling tapioca from July 25th.

Tapioca ~Royal Milk Tea~ 450 yen (tax included)
Flavor ★☆☆☆
Sweetness ☆☆☆☆
Chewy ★★★☆

Since you add your own syrup, it's not at all sweet.
If you get takeout, don't forget to ask for syrup.
It seems they use frozen tapioca, so the texture is a bit like frozen udon noodles.

Flavor ★★☆☆

Chewy ★★☆☆

I wanted to try something seasonal, but I ordered milk tea to compare it with other drinks.
There is nothing particularly noteworthy about it.
It's a tapioca drink that anyone can enjoy without any strong flavor.
