This is matcha ice cream mixed with sweetened milk ice cream, featuring a dusting of bean powder called kinako and a swirl of kuromitsu, a kind of brown sugar syrup. The sweetness of the milk and the bitter edge of the matcha make for a perfect match!
5. Kinoko & Kuromitsu

While it might sound similar, this is different from the first one: this time we have kinako-flavored ice cream with a kuromitsu sauce. This is another great combination that reimagines ice cream as a classic Japanese dessert.

The base flavor here is vanilla, but imagine it accentuated with red bean sauce then again with kinako-flavored kuromitsu. This miracle combination is available only in Japan!

Strawberry ice cream with strawberry mixed inside makes this selection satisfyingly crunchy and sweet. The milky base and red adzuki beans bring out the Japanese-style sweetness.

This ice cream is the record-holder for sales, selling so quickly that they had to take it off the shelves for a while. Milk ice cream is combined with a scent of crushed walnuts and a soy-based mitarashi sauce, which you'll normally find on skewers of sweet mitarashi dango. And on top you'll find the whole thing crowned with a slice of mochi pounded rice cake!
