The end of the rainy season has been declared in the Kanto region, and the heat is getting more and more severe. Meanwhile, "Pine Ame Ice" (100 yen), which is an ice cream of "Pine Ame", was released exclusively for FamilyMart nationwide.

That pine candy has become ice cream!

Speaking of pine candy, it is a long-selling candy that is sweet and sour, juicy, and has a cute "ring shape" with a colon. Pine candy, which has been loved for over 60 years since its release, can't help but eat ice cream that is perfect for summer! I got it at FamilyMart right away!

Also pine candy. Nostalgic…

The appearance of pine candy ice cream is undeniably pine candy itself! It is a familiar ring type. Compared to pine candy, it is about 10 times larger. The pine candy fits snugly in the hole in the middle.

Oh dad ...
Oh dad ...

If you take a closer look, the pineapple ice cream has a radial pattern like the "fiber" of a canned pineapple, just like a real pineapple! When I put the knife in, it cut quickly along the fiber.

When you throw it into your mouth, it melts at body temperature and juicy pine juice overflows. It's like eating canned pineapple frozen as it is! Perhaps because it's cold, it feels a little less sweet than pine candy. With just the right amount of sweetness and the deliciousness of juicy pine juice, it will quench your thirst in the summer!

look! This freshness!
