I tried each of the four types. Even though they were all frozen in the freezer, I was surprised at how soft they were and how easily a spoon went through them. It's like a rich milk ice cream.

The rich matcha flavor and full-bodied bitterness that spreads slowly in your mouth, and the refreshing aroma of the tea leaves that escapes from your nose are the most luxurious!

When you put it in your mouth, you might think it's a gateau chocolate. The texture is so rich and lumpy that you might mistake it for chocolate. It has a pleasantly bitter taste, and the richness and aroma of cacao lingers for a while after you swallow it. I've never had such a thick chocolate ice cream before! I love bitter chocolate, but this may be my favorite chocolate ice cream I've ever had. It's a taste for adults.

The pistachios are so thick! It's not like an ice cream, but more like a mouth-watering pistachio paste. It has a savory and rich taste, a nutty flavor that lingers after it melts on your tongue, and a refreshing umami taste with a hint of saltiness.

Conclusion

I think 200 yen for all four of this deliciousness and luxury is certainly cheap. I think this is an ice cream that you will never regret buying and eating. Personally, I especially liked the pistachio and bitter chocolate. All of them were delicious, but these two in particular had a unique richness that made me decide to repeat them!

If you have a store nearby, you might find them in one of the ice cream sections, just take a peek! It's also a great nesting snack.
