Japanese Green Tea and Taro Soft Ice Cream

Back to our real favourite style of Japanese Ice Cream, soft cream. We like it much better than regular ‘hard’ ice cream.

This is a yummy combination of Japanese Matcha ice cream (Green Tea of course, and green in colour) and Taro ice cream (I think it is called sato potato and it was a very, very pale purple/lilac colour).

Taro ice cream is much like Ube ice cream, same kind of root potato vegetable except Ube is more purple and tastes faintly like a vanilla sweet potato.

McDonalds Japanese McFlurry Ice Cream

Here are a couple of photos from a Japanese McDonalds. I haven’t seen the double sized Mega Big Mac back at home but it looks like it would be good.

The McFlurry was good, just like the Oreo ones back home except this one on special also had caramel flavoured bits as well.japanese mcdonalds mcflurry ice cream yummy

All pretty nice but I guess not a real Japanese Ice Cream is it? japanese mcdonalds mcflurry ice cream

Portable Soft Serve Machine Japanese Style

This Japanese Ice Cream is like your own portable soft serve machine :) . As you can tell by the photo it is a little flexi bag thingy full of soft serve ice cream that you squeeze out into a bowl or cone .. or even just squeeze and suck it out if you can’t wait.

This one is Lotte brand and was Red bean and vanilla flavour and I have seen a chocolate chip vanilla ice cream one as well.

Cute Little Japanese Ice Cream Truck

Not much to really say about this except isn’t it a great photo of a Japanese Ice Cream vendor. You see a fair few of these ice cream vans around the place and , usually, they have the best Japanese soft cream. I posted a different photo a while back of an Ice Cream bus.

I wish I had a nice Cherry Blossom soft cream right now!
