Chocolate mint ice cream in a cup sold at a convenience store

Nakameguro Saeko (hereinafter Saeko) : If you want to enjoy the chocolate mint flavor, ice cream! The most delicious thing I ate recently was the chocolate mint from "Gari-Gari-kun"

Konzaki. : Originally I was not good at chocolate mint, but I went around and became fond of it. Recently I buy chocolate mint flavor even in private

■ Eat and compare 5 types of chocolate mint!
Konzaki : Chocolate mint products will be released one after another this year. I hear the happy screams of the Chocomin Party

Saeko : For sweets, ice cream, drinks ... I can't check in time because they are appearing more and more! (Lol)

Konzaki : So, this time, I would like to compare the taste of chocolate mint products with "you can get it at a convenience store" and "ice in a cup". The chocolate mint ice cream I got around the nearby 7-ELEVEN, FamilyMart, and Lawson is as follows

Saeko : It doesn't have a strong refreshing sensation in the mouth, but you can enjoy the refreshing mint flavor and smooth melting in the mouth.

Konzaki : The crispness of chocolate chips is also ◎! It feels like lightly crushed thinly spread chocolate, and each one is large. A crispy and chewy chocolate appears from the smooth ice cream.

Smooth

Saeko : Impression that it is finished in a dish that makes use of the "smoothness" that is typical of Super Cups. The balance between moistness and freshness is exquisite, and it's nice that it doesn't make you feel sick.

Konzaki : It's easy to eat, isn't it? I personally like it a lot

■ Refreshing

Crispy!

Konzaki : The chocolate chips are quite fine. Doesn't it interfere with the texture of the ice? The aftertaste is refreshing and perfect when you want to cool down from inside your body.

Fully satisfied! Chocolate mint

Saeko : Wow, plenty of chocolate chips! A large amount of chocolate chips no matter where you scoop! Each grain is large and luxurious. Exactly "satisfied"!

Plenty of chocolate chips

Konzaki : With so much chocolate chips in it, the mint flavor seems to lose to the chocolate, but the refreshing feeling remains firmly. The aftertaste is soft and refreshing. I wonder if you can enjoy the taste of chocolate and ice cream in a well-balanced manner.

FamilyMart "Satisfied tightly! Chocolate mint"
Satisfaction ◎

Saeko : The amount is large, the texture is smooth, and the chocolate and mint are well-balanced. This is an excellent chocolate mint product

■ Chocolate mint ice
Konzaki : Condensed milk is added to chocolate mint shaved ice, and it is also sprinkled from above. Limited to 7-ELEVEN & i Group. Price 149 yen

7-ELEVEN Premium Chocolate Mint Shaved Ice

Saeko : Because it has "ice", you can fully enjoy the crispy and crunchy texture! After all summer is shaved ice!

Konzaki : It has a refreshing taste, but I think it's more of a refreshing feeling that comes from the coldness and texture of ice rather than mint. The mint flavor comes after swallowing. However, what is worrisome is the existence of condensed milk

Enjoy the crispy texture of ice!

Saeko : It is certain that the claim of condensed milk is strong. It's an accent because it has a creamy richness, but it seems that some people like it or not.

Konzaki : It feels like you're being swayed by condensed milk. I wonder what…. "The first date of chocolate and mint came with condensed milk, which I love about mint! What should I do ~! Like

7-ELEVEN Premium Chocolate Mint Shaved Ice
Are you a little worried about condensed milk?

Saeko : What happened suddenly? I want to return it, but I understand what I want to say. I'm sorry. It's a common guy in shojo manga. Condensed milk is a younger childhood friend

Konzaki : Condensed milk isn't a bad boy, but ... I think the taste balance is a little "wacha". But the crunchy texture of the ice is quite attractive. I wonder if people who are addicted are quite addicted

■ Turkish ice cream
Konzaki : Chocolate mint-flavored Turkish-style ice cream that you can enjoy a mysterious texture that stretches when kneaded. Limited to FamilyMart, Circle K, and Sunkus. The price is 140 yen

Saeko : It's chewy, smooth and melts like starch syrup! The chocolate chips that appear from the ice cream that is moist and melts with the heat of the mouth also have a presence.

Konzaki : The mint feeling is a little weak, and the taste is a little heavier than other ice creams. Personally, the sticky feeling of Turkish ice cream and the refreshing feeling of mint are like this ... Isn't it a little regrettable?

Saeko: To be honest, I have the impression that we haven't been able to bring out the best in each other.

Konzaki : I think it's an ice cream that goes well with "sticky" flavors such as banana and yogurt, rather than refreshing flavors such as chocolate mint. However, it is an irresistible dish for those who say "I love the stickiness of Turkish ice cream!"

Saeko : This product is recommended for Turkish ice fans rather than chocolate mint lovers.

■ What do you recommend?
Konzaki : Everything was unique and delicious, but in terms of overall points, I think "Chocolate mint" was the most complete. Personally, I liked the "Super Cup" where the chocolate chips were crisp and the ice cream was moist and refreshing.

Saeko : I think it's refreshing to cool your mouth at once. The greasy feeling of "chocolate mint ice" and the sticky feeling of "Turkish ice" were also addictive.

Konzaki : Even with the same chocolate mint flavor, there is a considerable difference when you compare them. All of them are products that can be purchased at convenience stores (excluding some stores and areas), so it may be fun to get together at the Chocomin Party and compare them.

Saeko : I hope it will be helpful for everyone to choose ice cream!
