Hello there!

It’s Binako, the SaruKuma writer
who can barely get out of bed on chilly mornings!

Today I’m introducing
a wonderful spot in Komori, Nishihara Village, Aso District, Kumamoto Prefecture:
“Fresh Bubble Tea Specialty Shop LEO Aso Nishihara Village Store.”

There’s even a charming swing right in front of the shop —
a playful touch that immediately puts a smile on your face! ♪

Outdoor seating is also available,
so you can sit and relax with your drink in the open air. ^^

The Menu

Here’s a look at the menu! ^^

Matcha Latte – 650 yen
Strawberry Milk – 650 yen
Milk Tea – 650 yen
and other classic latte options…

Coffee – 650 yen
Peach Tea – 650 yen
Lemonade – 780 yen
There are even grown-up flavors on the list! ♪

Hot bubble tea is also available,
which sounds perfect for the cooler months ahead. ^^

The No.1 Bestseller: Aso Rich Brown Sugar Latte – 750 yen

“Rich” — that’s a promise of pure indulgence right there!
Made with locally sourced Aso milk, it’s a treat that locals and visitors alike can feel good about. ^^

You can also swap regular milk for soy milk,
adjust the amount of ice,
and add toppings to customize your drink ( *´艸｀)

Best of all, the soy milk substitute is FREE — what a generous touch! (*´Д｀)

The little acorn icon next to certain menu items means
you can order them in a smaller size! ^^

Already full but craving a sip?
Have lunch coming up but really want a treat?
This option is perfect for those moments. ^^

This time, I went with
Milk Tea (Acorn Size) – 500 yen!

The bold lion logo on the cup looks so cool and confident! ♪

My little one had the honor of inserting the straw. ^^♪

Honestly, the bubble tea experience starts with the satisfying “poke” of the straw going in. (laughs)

The tapioca pearls are wonderfully chewy —
fresh!! made-on-the-spot!! You can really taste the difference!
The milk tea is gently sweet, perfectly balanced for both kids and adults. ♪

If you visit Aso, this is an absolute must-try! (*´Д｀)
Don’t miss out on these incredibly bouncy, fresh tapioca pearls. ( *´艸｀)

My child was laser-focused on slurping up every last pearl, lol.
They were so satisfied they wouldn’t let go of the straw! lol

If you’re heading to Aso, be sure to swing by —
you won’t regret it!
