We tried Morinaga Seika's "Icebox Dark Fruit Ice [Muscat]" ice candy. It has a fruity flavor with 80% fruit juice, and can also be enjoyed in an arrangement where it is mixed with black tea to make cold muscat tea. The price at FamilyMart is 172 yen (tax included).

Ice Box Dark Fruit Ice [Muscat

Contains 80% Muscat juice. Of that, 20% is Muscat of Alexandria juice. You can enjoy it outdoors without getting your hands dirty by throwing a little bit directly into your mouth from the cylindrical package, but at home, it is also good to put it in a glass bowl and eat it with a spoon, just like shaved ice.


The ice is brittle and crumbles easily in your teeth, melting quickly in your mouth and spreading the sweetness of the grapes and their fragrant aroma. Under the hot sun, it is a great way to quench your thirst and cool off. Or, in an air-conditioned room, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the elegant flavor of muscat grapes.



Another arrangement worth trying is to combine it with unsweetened black tea to make Muscat tea. Simply open an ice box in a glass and pour in unsweetened black tea from a plastic bottle. The ice cubes are small, so they melt quickly and mix with the black tea, making it sweet and refreshing at the same time. The result is a drink that makes you want to refill it with more tea every time you finish it, and drink it again and again.
