The Matcha Green Tea Ice Cream with Fresh Bitter Flavors is Available During the Summer Only

The ice cream by Nakamura Tokichi, a tea merchant established more than 160 years ago, is available only during the summer. It is a standard popular hot season item. It has a fresh flavor you'll want to have in the summer, with the aroma of matcha green tea and the refined bitterness of tea. There is also a rich hojicha tea version as well.

Rich Flavors with Maximum Échiré Butter Content

This is a butter ice cream with approximately 21% échiré butter from Échiré Marché au Beurre. The ice cream made by replacing as much of the milk and cream that is the base with échiré butter is surprisingly fresh. It is definitely an item to try.
