Japan's own Kourkakuen works together with Lotte to offer a special new dish for the season. Together, the duo came up with a new way to enjoy the notable Yukimi Daifuku mochi ice cream alongside the iconic Japanese ramen noodles. It features the tender roast pork on top and the Japanese food chain is no stranger to unique food pairings as it has done chocolate noodles in the past for example.
The latest to be born is entitled 'Yukimi Daifuku Meets Char Siu Premium,' which features mochi ice cream balls that are wrapped in slices in char siu roast pork drizzled with caramel sauce on top. The notable dish will be available at the branches up until September 15th.
