Trendy Taiwanese boba tea shop The Alley has reopened some of its locations in Japan, adding Kobe Sannomiya to their existing locations where you can use their app to purchase and pick-up your order safely.

Alleyists have another reason to get a drink tomorrow since the reopening coincides with the Japanese launch of their "yogurt series" which has already proved popular in other Asian markets like Singapore. A healthy probiotic proven to have immune system-boosting effects, yogurt is a great choice during the pandemic, whether you're self-quarantining and getting a delivery from Uber Eats or need to work outside and want to stop by for a pick-up.

The Alley has given their series a Japanese twist with the addition of azuki red bean paste. Known in Japanese as anko 餡子 or, simply, an 餡, the paste is a staple of traditional Japanese sweets, found in everything from cakes, pancakes, bread rolls, steamed bread, sweet dumplings, and all manner of deserts.

For their Japanese Yogurt series, they used an made with Hokkaido-grown azuki beans, manufactured by the Matsubara Ann Company 株式会社松原製餡所, which has been making the delicious paste in their Kobe factory since 1947.

The series features the following three drinks, each available in medium size for 600 yen plus tax:
