Pay attention to the package

Please take a look before reporting the taste, this package. A luxurious design based on black and red. Moreover, the lid is given a "facet cut", which is a method of cutting jewels, and it shines brilliantly depending on the angle. Nice ...!

When you peel off the inner lid, you can see the glossy chocolate sauce. It is topped with glittering gold powder.

The taste is also gorgeous

After enjoying plenty of visuals, it's finally time to eat. From the top, the overall structure is chocolate sauce, green tea ice cream, almond sauce and cookies, and blonde chocolate ice cream.

A bitter chocolate sauce that melts smoothly. Next is the strong flavor of matcha. For the ice cream, we use Haagen-Dazs original matcha, which is made by carefully grinding the selected tea leaves with a stone mill. Furthermore, because cocoa butter is added, you can feel the rich flavor that melts the richness and astringency. Matcha lovers will appreciate it!

Rich

The almond sauce and almond cookies are inspired by the opera "Biscuit Jocondo". The moist texture and fragrance create a rich dessert feeling.

Sandwiched between ice creams

The last is ice cream using blonde chocolate called "fourth chocolate". Deep richness and mellow sweetness spread throughout the mouth. When each layer overlaps, it feels like you are eating "Matcha Opera"! The faint scent of brandy leaves a happy finish.

A special Haagen-Dazs suitable for the glamorous season. It may be a good idea to spoil yourself a little as a reward for working hard for a year.
