Coolish, Melon Soda Japanese Ice Cream in a sachet tube.

Coolish, Melon Soda Japanese Ice Cream in a sachet tube.

Coolish is another ice cream that is really easy to eat. I wish we had ice cream that was easy to consume in the heat and for little children since it is so clever. The Coolish ice creams are available in a variety of tastes, including vanilla and Calpis (which is a Japanese soft drink that just about every store in Japan and a lot outside of Japan sell). 

This one was only available in the spring and was flavoured with Melon Soda. It was a little strange, but really it was more like a thick shake or smoothie drink, not really an ice cream. Actually its meant to be like an Ice Cream Spider (some would call it and Ice Cream Float) and the picture on the package does show that. It's not fizzy, though, almost as if the soft drink sode had became flat and the ice cream melted but was re-frozen. I don’t know how to accurately sum up the flavour but it is like sugary melon and cream. Like a creamy soft drink I guess. It was nice, and I'd suggest it.

Like a lot of ice Creams, this is made by Lotte and was around 150yen, something like that.

 

Japanese Italian Monaka Icecream

This Japanese ice cream is really just a different flavoured Monaka bar – like the chocolate ice cream Monaka and jersey milk vanilla ice cream Monaka bars. This one tastes like strawberry/rasberry ice cream to me, I haven’t got a clue what makes it Italian flavour.

It was nice but nothing really special.

Lotte Crunky chocolate ice cream

There are lots of Crunky sweets from Lotte, most are chocolate bars and similar but this is the Lotte Cruncky Chocolate Ice (ice cream)

This Japanese ice cream is pretty good. The ice cream in the middle is a really creamy and soft vanilla ice cream and the outer is chocolate that is not too sweet and has kind of like biscuit crumbs in the chocolate.

This is one of my sons favourite ice cream, it isn’t really expensive and you can get it at lots of stores.
