Cold Stone's first! Introducing bar ice cream that can be eaten with one hand
"Cold Stone Ice Candy" is a new summer-only brand. There are 12 flavors in total, including 3 types of "Shortcake" series, 6 types of "Fruit Gelato" series, and 3 types of "Ice Cream" series.
The shortcake is a lively ice cream that is typical of Cold Stone and is made from milk ice cream with fruits and whipped cream. Fruit gelato is a gelato containing fruit juice with cut fruits. And ice cream is finished by mixing various ingredients that go well with ice cream.
● I tried to eat it a little earlier!
Prior to the release, we sampled 3 recommended flavors of popsicles!
What a gorgeous and lively ice cream
First of all, "Strawberry Shortcake " is a bar type of queen ice cream that has been reigning as "Popular No. 1" since the first Cold Stone store opened 10 years ago. Milk ice cream with sponge is topped with whipped cream, strawberries (Tochiotome), blueberries, and raspberries. The green "leaves" are chocolate.
This liveliness, the true value of Cold Stone!
When you stretch it, the sweetness of the whipped cream that hits your mouth and the sweet and sourness of the strawberries are exquisitely intertwined and spread. The harmony of rich milk ice cream, soft sponge, and strawberry sauce is the richest, and it's just a strawberry shortcake!
It looks like the cake is just ice cream
Next is the Japanese flavor " Azuki Green Tea, " which is irresistible for matcha lovers. The ice cream made with Nishio matcha is luxuriously combined with the special Azuki beans from Tokachi, Hokkaido, which are made at our own factory, and finished with white chocolate.
Plenty of adzuki beans inside and outside
White chocolate adds just the right amount of sweetness to the umami and subtle astringency of matcha. In addition, every time you chew azuki beans, you will be chased by a gentle and gentle taste. The contrast between the green tea ice cream that melts smoothly on your tongue and the texture of the crispy and crunchy chocolate will not let you get bored until the end.
Adult ice cream that combines Japanese ingredients
Finally, the healthy ice cream "Orange Mango " has "zero fat and lower calories than one cup of rice." A fruit gelato with plenty of cut mango based on fruit juice using 3 kinds of oranges (orange, blood orange, tankan). The colorful appearance like the sun seems to be summer!
Tropical visual reminiscent of a tropical country
The moment you bite, the juicy orange juice fills your mouth with a crispy and cool texture. It contains so much mango pulp that you can't have time to rest your teeth, and it's a satisfying meal. The balance between the rich sweetness of mango and the refreshing acidity of orange is exquisite, and the mouth is refreshing.
It seems that you can eat refreshingly even on a hot day
Not only does it look gorgeous, but it also has a stable taste, so it will be a great gift or a treat. Gift boxes for gifts are also available at retail stores, so you can expect them to play an active role as "a little fashionable midyear gift" to give to your business partners.
The price is 480 yen for "Shortcake", 380 yen for "Ice Cream", and 280 yen for "Fruit Gelato", all including tax. Following Shinjuku and Yokohama, the stores are scheduled to open in LUMINE Tachikawa and Tokyo Solamachi from June 10th to August 31st (the schedule is subject to change).
