Hello, fellow travelers!
This is Yuzu, a writer for SaruKuma 🌻

Today, I’m thrilled to introduce you to a beloved local gem located in Kuhonji, Chuo Ward, Kumamoto City:
【Tapi King Wonder City Minami-Kumamoto】 ☆

This shop sits right next to Namco Wonder City Minami-Kumamoto,
so just head toward Namco and you’ll find it easily! 😆

I hadn’t visited in a while, and was amazed by how impressive the building looked now! 🤩

The shop is located near the entrance of Namco. 👍

Hand sanitizer is available, so please use it before ordering!

Cones are placed on the ground to mark queue spots,
so please respect social distancing!

Tapi King is so popular that lines often form on weekends! 🥰

Now, let’s head to the shop — GO! GO!!!!

First up, the exciting menu! ☺️

There are 16 varieties to choose from. Beyond bubble tea, they also offer
iced coffee and iced café au lait,
so even if bubble tea isn’t your thing, you’ll find something to enjoy! 👌

But seriously — you’ve got to try the bubble tea! 💕

#1 Best Seller: Refreshing Pineapple
#2 Best Seller: Strawberry Rare Cheese
— surprising, right? ☺️

I was actually a bit surprised! 😊
I had assumed something like chocolate banana would top the list! 😅

There’s also a limited-time Fruit Mix available! 😆

Once you’ve decided on your drink, pick your size! 😊
Sample cups are displayed for easy reference — such a thoughtful touch!

No one wants to be left thinking, “Wait — I want more!!” 😭
So choose your size carefully! 🥰

There’s even a Mystery Gacha (capsule machine)! 🤩

I haven’t tried it yet, so I have no idea what’s inside! 😂
If you’ve tried it, please let me know! 🤩

Free Bitter Chocolate Topping when you add them on LINE!!

This bitter chocolate really takes the drink to the next level! ❤️
Adding them on LINE is super easy, so be sure to do it! 😆

And as you can see on the menu above, you can customize with toppings! 👍

Yogurt, strawberry flakes, Oreo,
pineapple, Black Thunder, various sauces — 100 yen

Whipped cream, shiratama (rice flour dumplings), pudding, tapioca pearls — 130 yen

You can multiply tapioca pearls from 2x up to 5x! ☺️

Tapi King has finally joined Uber Eats in Kumamoto,
so if you’re within the delivery zone, why not give it a try?

There are tables and chairs outside Namco Wonder City Minami-Kumamoto,
so we decided to enjoy our drinks there! 😀

Recommended Menu

Yogurt Almond Tofu + Strawberry Sauce Topping + Chocolate Chip Topping

I ordered this for 600 yen! 💕

This combination is my absolute favorite! ❤️

The chocolate chip topping was a freebie
from being a LINE friend! 🤩

You might be wondering, “Almond tofu in bubble tea?!”
But trust me — it’s incredibly delicious!

It’s not too sweet, refreshingly light,
and the almond flavor is just amazing! 🌟

Of course, the tapioca pearls are wonderfully chewy and tasty too! 💕

In winter, the chilled tapioca pearls actually freeze a bit,
and it’s a whole new level of delicious!

Come find your perfect flavor! 🥰

Thanks so much for reading to the end! 😊
