Saeko Nakameguro ("Saeko") The days are getting hot and humid.

Konzaki : More and more refreshing flavored snacks and drinks are available for the summer!

Saeko Thirty-One Ice Cream is now offering "Mint Flavor Ice Cream"!

Konzaki Let's compare three kinds: "Popping Shower", "Thirty-One Love", and "Chocolate Mint".

Popping Shower

Saeco Flavor: mint and chocolate flavored ice cream with Pop Rocks candies. The chocolate sweetness is more dominant than the mint.

Konzaki : Mild and full-bodied. But the mint gives it a clean aftertaste.


Saeko The candy that pops in the mouth helps to refresh the senses. Good balance of sweetness and stimulation.

Konzaki It crackles all the time, a bit like a sparkler. It's so tasteful... I'll eat this on the porch in summer.

Thirty-One Love

Saeko Flavor: Green mint and lemon flavored marshmallows represent a tennis court. Minty and refreshing!

Konzaki I can feel the mint more clearly when I eat it after the popping shower. Lemon is only slightly fragrant.

Saeko The marshmallow's "smooth" texture may not be to everyone's liking. The smooth texture of the ice cream is just as you would expect from Thirty-One!


Konzaki The cool, refreshing sensation that lingers is perfect for a hot day!

Chocolate Mint

Saeko Mint ice cream with melt-in-your-mouth chocolate. It looks like "the chocolate mint" from the outside!

Konzaki But the mint is less intense than it appears. The minty flavor comes first, and then the melted chocolate spreads its richness by a time lag.


Saeko I have the impression that it is moderately bitter and assists the freshness of the mint well. The crispy texture is also pleasant.

Thirty-One "Mint Ice Cream" Comparison Summary

Konzaki The mint flavor was most noticeable in the "Thirty-One Love". Since it is seasonal, I want to eat a lot of it during the summer. By the way, you keep cracking up next to me when people are talking...

Saeko I'm addicted to the popping candy in the "Popping Shower". I think it's a flavor that both children and adults can enjoy.

Konzaki I guess "Chocolate Mint" is still the best for the ChocoMint party. Stable taste.

Saeko Well: enjoy it according to your taste and mood!
