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.
