On June 23, the new "Matcha Kinako Kuromitsu " (360 yen including tax) from the Haagen-Dazs "Japone" series was released exclusively for 7-ELEVEN. Based on Haagen-Dazs' first "Matcha sorbet" , it is said that it is finished with milk ice cream, black honey sauce, and kinako sauce.

By the way, " Matcha Azuki " was released in 2013, and "Vanilla & Kinako Kuromitsu " was released in 2014, but this is the first combination of "Matcha x Kuromitsu x Kinako". What's more, this time, I'm curious because the matcha sorbet that has never been used is used! That's why I tried eating it at the En-eating editorial department.

When you open the lid, the kinako sauce, which is generously hung on the top, shines brightly. If you put a spoon in it, it will be smooth and moist like caramel! There is no powderiness peculiar to kinako, and you can see its density from the tactile sensation that you can feel in your hands.

Under the kinako sauce, there is a layer of milk ice cream about 2 cm thick. Below that, a layer of 2 to 3 mm of black honey sauce is laid, and the bottom is a layer of matcha sorbet of about 2 cm.

From kinako sauce to matcha sorbet, scoop up 4 layers luxuriously with a spoon and put it in your mouth ... At that moment, the fragrant kinako sauce jacks the nasal cavity! And it is the rich taste and bitterness of matcha sorbet that dominates the taste buds! (I knew it) It's delicious !!

This alone is delicious, but the rich black honey sauce adds a mellow sweetness. Matcha, kinako, and black honey, each of which boasts an independent taste, are gently wrapped in rich milk ice cream!

These four beautiful layers melt on the tongue and the taste gradually changes.

Matcha sorbet is a "sorbet", but it has a very delicate and smooth texture. It's not watery or icey, and is it a little more crispy than ice cream? It's about. However, it may melt a little faster. The taste of matcha is rich, but it disappears quickly, so you won't feel stuffy in your mouth after eating. The non-persistent mouthfeel is perfect for hot summers!

Also, the sweetness of matcha sorbet is quite modest. It has a full-fledged taste with a pleasant bitterness and astringency, and I really want true matcha lovers to try it.

Just because it's sorbet, it's not too light, and it's delicious!

This flavor, which is made by layering authentic Japanese ingredients, is the true value of the Japanese-style ice cream "Japone" series. Even people who are noisy about Japanese sweets may be satisfied with this. Why don't you all eat the new Japone and feel the early summer of Japan?
