Imuraya sells ice cream "Monaka ice cream like Ogura toast" that reproduces the taste of Nagoya's famous gourmet "Ogura toast" exclusively for Aeon. The price is 159 yen (tax included).
This is a butter-flavored monaka rind, sandwiched between charred buttered milk ice cream and Hokkaido azuki bean paste. In addition, the ice cream is served with butter sauce.
To what extent is the taste of Ogura toast reproduced?
The taste of azuki and butter is more assertive than I expected! When you bite into it, the fragrance of the fluffy monaka, the soft richness of milk ice cream, the umami of butter sauce, and the sweetness of the smooth bean paste spread to your mouth in sequence. Accented with a slight saltiness.
Although the element of "toast" is less, the "flour feeling" can be obtained from the thigh skin, and the taste of butter can be felt firmly from the ice cream and sauce, and even from the inside, it is a perfect score to eat. Just like the morning in Nagoya, it goes well with coffee.
According to a tweet from Imuraya's official Twitter account, it is recommended to warm the ice cream with a toaster for 20 to 30 seconds. You can enjoy the cool taste inside and the outside. Is it like eating vanilla ice cream on Ogura toast? Please give it a try!
