"Cold Stone Creamery Ice Manju Shiratama Creamy Zenzai", which is a collaboration with Marunaga Confectionery's popular product "Aisu Manju", is on sale from October 24th at each 7-ELEVEN store. The price is 250 yen (tax included).
The first Japanese-style ice cream sold at 7-ELEVEN. As a fan of Cold Stone and Ice Manju, I tried the collaboration ice cream that I can't miss.
Wrap the red bean paste in sweet cream ice cream with plenty of fresh cream from Hokkaido, and coat it with black honey flavored chocolate with almonds. Shiratama mochi is put inside the ice cream.
A world of Japanese and Western eclecticity that begins with a crisp and comfortable texture. The rich flavor linked to the aroma of almonds and black honey matches the milky ice cream. Spreads a rich and mellow taste. At this point, "Western" is a little predominant.
Accented with almond texture
As you continue to eat, a special red bean paste appears. You can feel the chewy azuki beans in the sticky texture. With a strong presence, you can enjoy the Japanese taste at once. Satisfaction is also improved by adding a chewy white ball that does not seem to be frozen. Is it diced mochi? I'm glad that it's included with Dawn! You can fully enjoy the "manju feeling".
Over time, the mochi becomes softer
The exquisite taste that I cannot help but appreciate the encounter of ice cream, red beans, and shiratama. Please enjoy the gradation of taste that Japanese and Western weave!
