I ate FamilyMart's shaved ice "Meiji Tsuji Rihei Matcha Ice Float". You can enjoy the refreshing bitterness of matcha, the texture of azuki beans, and the richness of condensed milk ice cream. The selling price is 190 yen (tax included).

Meiji Tsuji Rihei Matcha Ice Float

As the name suggests, matcha from "Tsuji Riichi Main Store" in Uji, Kyoto is used. It is said that Ujikintoki ice has an emphasis on the balance of high-quality umami matcha, red beans, and condensed milk ice cream.


When the lid is removed, the top of the ice, which has a dark green color of matcha, is covered with plenty of azuki beans. Since it's a big deal, take it out of the cup and transfer it to the deep plate in the freezer, and you can see that it is matcha brown to the bottom.


When you break it with a spoon, a large chunk of condensed milk ice cream appears from inside. When you scoop up the ice cream with ice and red beans and bring it to your mouth, the rich aroma, bitterness and astringency of matcha, then the texture of the fluffy red beans, and the smooth texture and richness of the ice cream spread.


Probably because the matcha has a strong personality, the sweetness is not so strong and the mouthfeel is refreshing, and the spoon goes on and on. It is irresistibly cool and pleasant to eat during hot hours such as lunch. It has enough bitterness and astringency, so if you want to combine it with drinks, barley tea or light green tea is recommended.
