Discover "Ponkan Sherbet" and "Yamamomo Popsicle" packed with the deliciousness of Kochi at Natural Lawson. I was curious, so I tried it.
Ponkan sorbet is a ponkan sorbet produced in Kochi prefecture. It is said that the sweet juice and pulp of ponkan grown under plenty of sun and moderate sea breeze are used. The price is 194 yen (tax included).
When you open the lid, it is bright yellow all over. Actually, it has two layers, the upper part is crispy and the lower part is sticky and smooth. Accented with flesh that pops in places.
A tightly concentrated sweetness that spreads in your mouth. The slight bitterness of citrus will come later. Juicy like the ponkan itself. It is a fresh taste that seems to rejuvenate the body tired from the heat.
The bayberry popsicle is an ice lolly that is made by carefully processing and squeezing the bayberry, which is a specialty of Kochi prefecture that grows in early summer. It is made from simple ingredients such as bayberry juice and sugar. The price is 184 yen (tax included).
Bayberry is said to be called a "phantom fruit" in the city because the harvest time is short and it is difficult to keep it for a long time. I remember that when I ate the fruit as it was in the olden days, it was insanely sour and wild.
I think this ice cream is also quite sour ... When I tried it, it was sweet and sour and very fruity! The balance of refreshing sweetness and acidity is exquisite. You can enjoy the fresh flavor of bayberry. The refreshing aftertaste is also ◎.
A refreshing ice cream filled with the blessings of Kochi. I felt like traveling to Kochi for a short time. It's perfect for a summer vacation snack!
