Wonderful World Of Japanese Ice Cream

A Japanese cafe with a huge, huge range of soft serve ice cream. The flavours? Try vanilla, blueberry, vanilla & green tea, banana, caramel, Hokkaido melon, mikan orange peel, vanilla & chocolate, vanilla & strawberry, chestnut, black sesame and sweet potato … few!! And not in the photo - cappuccino, tofu, peanut and grape.

The photo looks like the shop assistant has a funny ice cream hat, doesn’t it.

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
