New Taipei, May 17 (CNA) - The CPBL's Fubon Guardians are hosting a night market theme day this weekend, and their manager, Mitsutaka Goto, revealed his love for Taiwanese bubble milk tea, stating he drinks two cups of full-sugar bubble tea every day. After the interview, he took out the drink prepared for him today, glanced at it, and jokingly complained, 'Why is it half-sugar?' The Guardians are holding a 'Stroll the Night Market, Savor Good Tastes' theme day at their home stadium in Xinzhuang on the 16th and 17th, bringing the most representative Taiwanese culture into the ballpark. In a pre-game interview, Guardians manager Mitsutaka Goto revealed that he knew about bubble milk tea in Japan and finally got to drink it in Taiwan. He now drinks two cups of full-sugar bubble tea daily. When told that few Taiwanese people drink full-sugar beverages, he laughed and replied, 'I'm Japanese,' stating he loves everything about bubble tea, from its chewy texture to the flavor of the milk tea. The calories from two full-sugar bubble teas a day are alarming, but Goto said he also exercises to maintain his figure and not get fat. He also enjoys the classic night market combination of bubble tea and chicken cutlet, joking, 'I feel like I've become half Taiwanese.' Goto listed his favorites, often drinking from the 50嵐 near his residence, and also loving CoCo's 'Milk Tea Three Brothers.' The translator revealed that Goto also likes Yimoon's 'Daiwan Milk Tea.' After the interview, Goto walked into the dugout and came back to show off his 'drink of the day,' but after looking at the label, he said, 'Why is it half-sugar?' (Editor: Lin Shu-hui) 1150517
