We visited “アイスはじめました。” (“We’ve Started Ice Cream”), which just opened on April 14 a little way down a side street off the diagonal road near JR Nishinomiya Station. This time, it wasn’t just Shachomi there; some Nishitsu readers were also in the line, and they shared photos and comments with us.
During the three-day opening event from April 14 to 16, everything is 300 yen!
The line was huge, but we went anyway!
On April 16, the day this article comes out, opening time is 3:00 p.m.
目次
“アイスはじめました。”’s “Strawberry,” “Kuromitsu Kinako Warabimochi,” “Shiratama Azuki,” “Mango,” and “Crème Brûlée”
Strawberry 700 yen (tax included)
Kuromitsu Kinako Warabimochi 680 yen (tax included)
The whipped cream nicely balances out the tartness of the strawberries. Maybe there’s condensed milk in there too; it has a nice sweetness without being overly sweet. There are plenty of strawberries, and there’s sponge cake at the bottom that gets a little soft, giving it a flavor like a bonus stage just arrived.
Kuromitsu Kinako Warabimochi↓
The vanilla ice cream is very lightly sweetened, and once you mix in the kinako and kuromitsu, the sweetness is just right! The warabimochi is less silky and more firm and chewy!
Shiratama Azuki 650 yen (tax included)
The wafer on top has a subtle chocolate flavor♪ Azuki beans came popping up from both the top of the ice cream and the bottom! The soft, chewy shiratama goes perfectly with the ice cream✨
Mango 650 yen (tax included)
It’s topped with lots of meltingly soft chunks of mango. The waffle cone has a refreshing citrus flavor. Inside the soft serve are small pieces of mango jelly and mango sauce, and toward the bottom there’s sponge cake. Each part mixes with the soft serve, making the changes in flavor really fun♪
Crème Brûlée 680 yen (tax included)
The brûlée was sitting on what seemed like a sheet of caramelized sugar. The part underneath was like pudding, and there was sponge cake at the bottom.
