I decided to try vanilla ice cream to find something delicious
Challenge

Around this time, the hot and humid days continue. I don't have an appetite, and I can't help but reach for ice cream. I bought a slightly larger vanilla ice cream so that I could eat it when I wanted to, but as I ate it every day, I gradually got tired of the taste.

So I decided to try "a little addition" that I could enjoy by changing my mood. I tried to find a topping that would make vanilla ice cream more delicious while actually tasting it.

■ Everything that seems to be hung

Immediately, look into the refrigerator in the office and collect seasonings and ingredients. Soy sauce, vinegar, wine, olive oil and jam ... Is it enough to have all this?

There are two rules for tasting: "No matter how dangerous you think it is, don't leave it" and "Don't be disappointed" . Don't forget your respect for the ingredients and your pride as an editorial staff member.

Ingredients that I tried "a little addition" to vanilla ice cream
Let's try from which

■ Soy sauce
First of all, this without hesitation. The author who loves soy sauce so much that he immediately answers "soy sauce" to the question "What would you do if you could bring only one seasoning to an uninhabited island?" I'm not particularly particular about soy sauce, but it's because I believe that most foods in the world are reasonably good with soy sauce.

Entry No.1 Soy sauce

Immediately, a quick blow to the ice cream. I am grateful that the amount can be adjusted with the spray type. When I try to eat it, it has a soft scent of soy sauce. And the strong sweetness of vanilla ice cream that comes immediately. I searched for my memory and remembered, "This taste, somewhere ...". Mitarashi dumplings .

What is your taste?

Actually, this combination seems to be quite famous, and when I searched on the net, I saw some people trying it. It's just "Mitarashi dango-like" , so it's a delicate place when asked if it's specially delicious. The evaluation is 55 out of 100 points.

■ Lemon juice
Next is lemon juice. This should be okay. At least it's unlikely to be a disaster

Entry No.2 Lemon juice

The richness of the ice cream is combined with the refreshing lemon juice, making it easy to eat. The anxiety that "it may be separated and become thick" is overwhelming, but it seems that there is no problem if it is a small amount. That's good . In a word, the taste of "lemon milk" . Is it natural because lemon is added to dairy products? Evaluation is 75 out of 100 points.

■ Ketchup
Perhaps because the good things continued in good condition, the pace increased, saying, "Vanilla ice cream is the same as white rice, it goes well with anything ." I decided to try ketchup, which is a favorite of a certain yellow pocket monster.

Entry No.3 Ketchup

From the conclusion, it's completely out . No way, the compatibility between ketchup and vanilla ice cream is so bad ... The sourness of ketchup and the sweetness of ice cream collided head- on. Ketchup's self-assertion is too strong and it takes time to swallow. Evaluation is 10 out of 100 points. Maybe I won't try it again.

■ Ultimate jam
Ketchup broke my heart, so Ampai appeared here as soon as possible. I will try Kyobashi Sembikiya "Ultimate Jam" which I introduced in the previous article. There is no reason for it.

Entry No.4 Ultimate Jam

It's good. Goodness that does not disappoint . The fresh acidity of strawberries and the sweetness of vanilla joined hands to bring peace to the tongue. This jam is really good. Should I buy it for my home? Evaluation is 90 out of 100 points.

■ Salty lychee
5 times concentrated type of "Salty lychee from the kitchen of the world" . This was also introduced earlier in Eating. It's good to make lassi with this, so it must go well with the same dairy product, vanilla ice cream.

Entry No.5 Salty lychee 5 times concentrated type

For a much refreshing aftertaste compared to "Ultimate Jam". It's delicious, but I didn't feel it was as good as I had expected. It may be highly evaluated in terms of making it easier to eat because it dilutes the "relaxation of vanilla ice cream" in both good and bad ways. The evaluation is 70 out of 100 points.

■ Olive oil
Recently, olive oil has come to be found in the kitchens of every home. I introduced olive oil that you can enjoy over yogurt before, but this time I use ordinary oil that is everywhere. It seems like a combination that seems to be heartburn.

Entry No.6 Olive oil

A terrifying bite. good! Probably good! Isn't it good! I could hardly feel the thick oiliness I was worried about, and it was reborn as a dessert-like taste to eat at a high-class restaurant . I'm a little worried about calories, but it may be good to try it once in a while. The evaluation is 80 out of 100, including unexpectedness.

■ Sesame oil
Sesame oil that I always use when making stir-fried vegetables. Flavorful and appetizing. Perhaps it will be a fragrant flavor when combined with ice cream? I tried it while expecting it.

Entry No.7 Sesame oil

Well, rich. To express it in one word, Daigakuimo . I thought that it would be a more addictive taste, and it was unexpectedly cool. Olive oil and sesame oil are good, and vanilla ice cream and oil may be quite compatible . However, it is not something that can be eaten. The evaluation is 65 out of 100 points.

■ Grain vinegar
Recently, the author has begun to notice the deliciousness of vinegared foods. Isn't it unexpectedly possible to put it on ice cream? I thought it was a challenge.

Entry No.8 Grain vinegar

It's not special, it's not good, it's vague ... hmm ... You can feel the acidity and aroma of vinegar, but when asked if it matches the ice cream, it's quite subtle. Balsamic vinegar may have been more delicious. Suffice it to say, it's a flavor that is slightly reminiscent of Tokoroten . Evaluation is 50 out of 100 points.

■ Tsubuan topping
Imuraya's "Tsubuan Topping" introduced on the sister site "Enuchi" for eating en-eating. If you take a closer look at the package, you will see the words "Ice cream" . With official approval, this must be a good idea.

This is already safe

Japanese bean paste and western vanilla. It is a perfect combination without complaint. Although not surprising, the stable taste healed my heart. By the way, it seems that "Koshian toppings" are also on sale, so if you are a Koshian sect, please try it there. The evaluation is 85 out of 100 points.

■ Coriander
Coriander that caused an ethnic boom for a while. I found the rest of the "Kizami Pakuchi" that I wrote about even when I ate it, and immediately put it on vanilla ice cream. What is the taste of ethnic vanilla ice cream?

"Crisp coriander" over vanilla ice cream
Entry No.10 Coriander

A taste that makes you eat a bite and say, "Ah, yeah, uh ... I see." The scent of coriander and the sweetness of vanilla. To be clear, it's subtle ... I'm just conscious of the flavor and strange saltiness of coriander that remains on my tongue forever. I feel like it would fit if I topped it with coriander as it is instead of pasting it. Evaluation is 25 out of 100 points.

■ Spicy snacks
I decided to lightly crush the spicy snack that I happened to find and try topping it. I heard that the combination of spicy pepper and sweet chocolate is delicious, and it may be surprisingly vanilla ice cream.

Entry No.11 Spicy snack

A spicy snack with a crunchy texture that sometimes appears from the cool and sweet vanilla. It's quite delicious. It's more like a sweet dessert than I expected. However, I think it's better to eat snacks as snacks. Evaluation is 60 out of 100 points.

■ Nakano sauce
Nakano sauce that somehow brings back the "nightmare of ketchup". I'd like to expect unexpectedness, but ...

Entry No.12 Nakano sauce

It's not inedible. I can't eat it, but I don't want to eat it aggressively. It's a taste of choosing people. On the internet, I saw a voice saying, "It's delicious if you knead it well and eat it!" , But it didn't suit my taste. The evaluation is 45 out of 100 points.

■ Instant coffee
I knew this before I tried it. Because it's my favorite combination. Sprinkle and eat without hesitation.

Instant coffee over vanilla ice cream
Entry No.13 Instant coffee

The bitterness of crispy instant coffee matches vanilla. You can enjoy it deliciously even if you eat it by kneading it into a little melted ice cream. The only drawback is that if you get too sick, instant coffee will get caught in your back teeth and your mouth will be messed up. The crunchy texture is addictive, so it's just too much. Evaluation is 75 out of 100 points.

It is also recommended to sprinkle a cup-type coffee jelly containing hot coffee or cream.

■ Wine
I can predict the taste somehow, but I will try this one as well. The appearance of crimson wine on white vanilla ice cream is very fashionable.

Entry No.14 Wine

An adult dessert whose grape flavor hides the sweetness of vanilla. If you get tired of the sweetness, it may be just right. In addition to wine, you can enjoy it with brandy or shochu . Evaluation is 75 out of 100 points.

■ Horchata
The last is "Yosoi Horchata" which can be purchased at KALDI. It's a drink made by adding water, sugar, etc. to the juice of "Tiger nuts", which is said to be a superfood. It's a summer staple in Spain, especially in the Valencia region.

Entry-No.15 Horchata

With the addition of the nutty aroma of "horchata", it feels like the richness of the ice cream has increased. However, it seemed more enjoyable to put vanilla ice cream on the Horchata and make it float rather than sprinkle it on vanilla ice cream. The evaluation is 70 out of 100 points.
