jellyfish icecreamWe have seen all types of seafood ice cream before, Crab, Clam, Eel, Fish and Octopus, but never Jellyfish.
Jellyfish Ice Cream is being sold exclusively over the Internet by Rakuten in hopes of luring the novelty crowd.

Fried oysters in soft serve ice cream

Fried oysters in soft serve ice cream.

This would have to be the worst looking and, I would think, the worst tasting Japanese Ice Cream ever! I can't remember the site I saw this on but it was in Japan somewhere.
Wow, two crumbed and fried oysters in soft-serve ice cream - what type of person would think of that combination and what Japanese Ice Cream shop would sell it?

Japanese Red Bean ice cream

Japanese Red bean ice cream (Azuki Ice Cream).

Make your own!!

1 cup dry adzuki beans
1/3 cup white sugar
2 teaspoons lemon juice

3 1/2 cups water

1 cup milk
1 cup heavy cream
4 egg yolks
2/3 cup white sugar
1 teaspoon vanilla extract or 1 whole vanilla BEAN. (Use a knife to scrape the inards out of a whole vanilla bean)
_________________

In a saucepan, combine the azuki beans, 1/3 cup of sugar, lemon juice and water. Bring to a boil, and boil uncovered for 3 minutes. Reduce the heat to low, and simmer for 2 1/2 to 3 hours, or until the beans are very tender. When done, the beans and liquid should amount to 3 cups. If not, add more water to compensate.
Strain the bean mixture through a sieve - I use a wooden paddle for this, and discard the bean skins. Refrigerate for about 2 hours, or until cold.

In a saucepan, combine the milk and cream. Bring to a boil over medium heat. While you wait for that to boil, whisk together the egg yolks and 2/3 cup of sugar in a medium bowl. When the cream and milk come to a boil, ladle about 1/4 cup of the hot liquid into the bowl with the egg yolks, and whisk until smooth. Pour the yolk mixture into the pan with the cream, and cook over low heat until thick enough to coat the back of a metal spoon. This should take about 5 minutes. Do not cook too long, or you will get lumps. Remove from the heat, and stir in the vanilla. Refrigerate until cold.
Once both of the mixtures are cold, stir them together. Pour into an ice cream maker, and freeze according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Vanilla Soya Bean Ice Cream

Vanilla Soya Bean Ice Cream.

The vanilla soya bean ice cream comes across as light, tasting of soya with a tinge of vanilla. It came with cut fruits which had been carefully prepared, ie. the grapes had the head cut off and the pear has its skin removed. Lovely.

I understand that this japanese ice cream is hand made by Chako herself (from Restaurant Chako).

Meat lovers ice cream

Meat lovers ice cream.

Bitchin Kitchen has an article talking about all these wierd and wonderful ice cream flavours that I have been blogging about. A nice read and great site.

What's that you say, you prefer meat to seafood? Japan has got your ice cream, meat lovers! Chicken wing aficionados dunk their drumsticks in dozens of different dips, but would they devour Chicken Wing ice cream for dessert? If the thought of that gets your goat, well, go for goat - Goat Milk ice cream, with chunks of goat meat mixed right in! Other meaty melanges include Ox Tongue and something called "Basashi"... raw horse meat. I kid you not.
