In July, the countdown to the summer season is finally over! Meanwhile, a new flavor has appeared in Ministop's "Halo-halo," which is no exaggeration to say that it is a "summer tradition."

That's why the author, who is a representative of Chiba's halo-halo freak (self-proclaimed), has tasted it a little earlier, so I will tell you the whole picture! In addition to halo-halo, there are plenty of new sweets and snack menus, so be sure to check it out !!

◆ Halo-halo "Melon Cream Soda" (290 yen) will be released sequentially from July 4th.

Halo-halo's "cracking" series released for the first time in 2010. This year, a new flavor inspired by the nostalgic taste of "cream soda" will be released!


Crispy shaved ice is combined with jelly using melon juice, nata de coco, and soft serve vanilla. There is a carbon dioxide-filled candy between the shaved ice and the jelly, and when you bring your ears closer, you can hear a crackling sound.


When you put it in your mouth, the carbonated candy crackles in response to the moisture! The cool feeling of ice and crackling combine to create a cool breeze in your mouth. Freshness just like cream soda! The melting texture of the thick soft serve ice cream is unique to MINISTOP.


◆ Sequentially released from July 4, "Peach Parfait" (320 yen)

"Peach Parfait" with peaches is the third in the summer parfait series, following the first mango and the second melon! It is released in July every year and has a particularly high approval rating from women.


It is finished with soft serve vanilla and plenty of peaches. The peaches used are "young peaches," which are still chewy, pickled in syrup and boiled down. When I try to eat it, it surely has a fresh chewy texture!




◆ Sequentially released from July 25, Primitive meat with bone "Hammer chicken" (240 yen)

Have you ever longed for the "mammoth meat" that appears in the anime "Gato ●'s" when you were a kid? I'd like to stick to that huge chunk of meat just once. "Hammer chicken", a primitive meat with bones, has commercialized such a romantic passion!


"Hammer chicken" is made by wrapping minced chicken around chicken thighs and carefully baking each one over a charcoal fire. Seasoned with black pepper, garlic and spices. By the way, this is a "confident work" of Ministop that was finally completed after spending a lot of time developing it!


When I grabbed it, the minced meat on the outside was fluffy and tender, and the gravy spilled from the thigh meat inside! A spicy taste for summer with a spicy pepper on the taste of chicken. It definitely goes well with beer, this one.

Hammer chicken is limited to 500,000 meals, so if you are late, you may not be able to eat it ... by all means, as soon as possible!


In addition, the "Sushi-style" rice ball "Isomaru Musubi" (starting at 135 yen), which was developed in collaboration with the izakaya chain "Isomaru Suisan" and is sprinkled with sushi vinegar powder on seaweed, has been released. From the sweets brand "Hapirich Sweets", the new "Summer Strawberry Shortcake" (260 yen), which uses plenty of fruits, will be released sequentially from July 8th.




New colorful menus will be released one after another, so you can go to Ministop every day this summer. Don't miss the attractive lineup!
