My thoughts:
My sisters and I each grabbed a drink to go as we were all pretty thirsty after that dinner at Izakaya Ju.
I had the black sesame black bubble tea, and one sister had a taro bubble tea, and the other a regular bubble tea.
The drinks were about $5 a pop, which is pretty standard for bbts (though expensive by my standards). I don't know why I keep making the mistake of ordering black sesame bubble teas - just like it always had been in the past, my drink tonight was gross because it was saturated with sugar. The problem is that the sugar is pre-mixed into the black sesame powder, so even if I had asked them to add less sugar (or none at all), it wouldn't have made a difference.
The taro was also gross, though I should say that I've never been a fan of taro-flavoured things. It just makes me want to gag.
The regular bbt, on the other hand, was delicious.
Now that I've formally expressed my distaste via a blog, hopefully I'll remember to never order black sesame again. Old habits die hard!
