It's getting chilly every day, and it's time to miss the grilled potatoes. Meanwhile, I discovered "Yakiimoyokan-style ice cream" at Ministop in Tokyo. The price is 129 yen including tax.


It's rare to say "yokan-style ice cream", but what is "yakiimo"? What kind of taste is it? I was curious, so I decided to try it.

■ I tried grilled yokan-style ice cream

The package is bag-shaped and feels like a vacuum pack that fits perfectly inside. The size is about 19 cm in length and about 6 cm in width. It is an elongated silhouette.


The raw material has the letters "Baked sweet potato paste". The type is lacto ice and the calories are 116 kcal.


Open the top of the package. If you press the bottom part like a tube, the ice cream will come out.



It was okay to bite wild as it was, but this time I cut it and put it on a plate.


The first thing I feel when I bite into it is the “gunyu” texture near the surface, which is probably the image of yokan. On the other hand, the central part is crispy and crispy, and it has a mysterious texture that mixes two textures in one bite.

When placed on the tongue, it changes from an elastic individual to a creamy liquid at a slow speed, spreading the sweetness of the delicious food. The deep sweetness like honey may be like grilled potatoes.


With a texture and taste that feels like between yokan and ice cream, this dish is just right for the name "yokan-style ice cream." By the way, if you eat it in a bag, you can enjoy the feeling of "eating a whole yokan"!
