Cream cheese ice cream with melted cheese sauce trapped in cream cheese flavored ice cream. When I suddenly looked at the corner of the package, I noticed a note saying, "It's a product that melts easily." It's a word that makes you feel the creaminess of cheese as early as possible.

Yes, this is exactly the typical ice cream "Azuki Bar" of Imuraya (it feels a little slimmer)! Did you bring out the uniqueness of Imuraya here?

Well, if you enjoyed the appearance, it had already melted, so I'll try it in a hurry.

Refreshing! The moist texture of the ice cream is refreshing with the acidity of cheese, yet it has a mellow richness. Not very sweet! It has a refreshing taste like a rare cheesecake.

And inside is a cream-colored cheese sauce! While keeping its moderate hardness, it melts smoothly on the tongue when eaten. The taste is so rich that it remains in the mouth for a while even after the ice cream has melted. The sweetness and creamy mouthfeel with a hint of saltiness is exactly what kiri's cream cheese is. Oh, this is delicious ...!

When I closed my eyes and tasted it, I could see the vast landscape of a French ranch behind my eyelids. Blue sky, white clouds, endless green grass. And the cows who eat grass freely. I'm eating the blessings of the earth now ...!
