The Baskin-Robbins x Mitsukoshi ice creams have been created by the ice cream brand and the oldest department store in Japan to provide shoppers with the perfect option to try out this spring. The new ice creams will be offered via the Baskin-Robbins pop-up that's opening inside the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi location and includes the Kuromitsu Nihonbashi Mitarashi ice cream. This offers a thick brown sugar flavor, while the Teal Brilliant Mixed Berry ice cream will provide a lighter, berry-forward flavor experience.
The Baskin-Robbins x Mitsukoshi ice creams are also arriving alongside the Basking-Robbins Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi sundaes that are crafted with flagship desserts sourced from the retailer. A collection of merch has also been created to celebrate the collaboration, which shoppers can pick up from the pop-up starting May 6, 2025.
