On May 24th, Haagen-Dazs launched two limited-time products. A mini cup "Strawberry Banana" and a crunchie crunch "Chocolate Macademia Nuts". The estimated price is 294 yen (tax included).

On the internet, people who ate it as early as possible said "It's delicious!" When I tried it at the En-eating editorial department, they both welcomed me with contrasting taste!

◆ Strawberry banana

Strawberry banana that combines strawberry sorbet (sorbet) and banana ice cream. It is a flavor that has been revived for the first time in about 3 years since it first appeared in May 2013. It contains plenty of juice and pulp (46%!), And you can see the crushed pulp in the strawberry sorbet.



A strawberry sorbet with a smooth yet smooth mouthfeel. It has a strong acidity and a fresh scent as if you were eating the strawberry itself! On the other hand, banana ice cream has a creamy texture, and the sweetness of rich ripe banana spreads on the tongue while melting slowly.


The moment when the sour strawberries and the melting sweet bananas melt in your mouth at the same time is delicious! The two are mixed in a whirlpool shape, so it's fun to enjoy different flavors such as strong strawberries and strong bananas for each bite. It has both a tropical taste that feels like summer and a refreshing taste that doesn't leave behind.

◆ Chocolate macadamia nuts

On the other hand, chocolate macadamia nuts are bar ice cream made by coating chocolate ice cream wrapped in chocolate sauce with milk chocolate. Macademia nuts roasted with coconut oil are studded with rumbling.


When you grab it, the slightly thick chocolate coating snaps. From the inside, rich chocolate ice cream overflows with bitter using Belgian chocolate. In the ice cream, chocolate sauce melts along the left and right sides. This is a very bitter taste, and I like it for adults.



Each macadamia nut is large, and the more you chew it, the more fragrant roasted it spreads. Excellent compatibility with bitter chocolate.

The coating, ice cream, sauce and three layers of chocolate can be tasted with a single bite, and the large amount of macadamia nuts is enough to eat, so it is a luxury that is more like a cake than ice cream.

In contrast to strawberry banana, this one has a richer taste. However, the bitterness is effective and the sweetness is not persistent, so it seems that you will want to eat it even on a hot day.

When I compared the two, I personally had the impression that I wanted to eat strawberry bananas on the day when it was hot today, and chocolate macadamia nuts in a cool room with air conditioning in early summer! Everyone should try it according to the mood of the day.
