The name might have you thinking this is one of Japan’s ultra-luxurious desserts that has gold leaf as one of the ingredients, but confectioner Meiji’s Gold Line has a simplicity that belies its fancy name, as it’s good old-fashioned chocolate-covered ice cream on a stick.

Soft-serve ice cream cones with protective domes, these deserts make use of Tochigi Prefecture’s famous Lemon Milk (“Lemon Gyunyu ” in Japanese), which has the aroma of lemons and a slight citrus flavor.

While the yogurt-like beverage known as Calpis isn’t a dessert in and of itself, it can definitely lend itself to such endeavors.

Manufacturer Morinaga mixes in Hokkaido-made mascarpone cream cheese and crispy bits of chocolate into vanilla ice cream to make this elegant indulgence.

Literally meaning “Black White Mountain,” the inspiration for this ice cream bar seems to be more the mountain on the French/Italian border than the chestnut-rich dessert of the same name. Especially popular on the southwestern island of Kyushu, Black Mont Blanc consists of vanilla ice cream covered in chocolate, with crumbled up cookie pieces forming the final, outermost layer.
