For a limited time, Häagen-Dazs Japan is introducing a fun pair of summer frozen dessert products that pair mochi and ice cream flavors. There's Aromatic Mitarashi Walnut, which boasts a milk ice ream base that's enhanced with nutty pieces, mochi and mitarashi sauce. Thanks to this soy sauce-based coating, this frozen treat is described as being both salty and sweet.
Ginse Kinako Kuromitsu boasts a base of kinako soybean powder ice cream with ribbons of kuromitsu black honey sauce. On top of the treat, there's a mochi with more kinako powder, plus flavorful and aromatic yellow and black soybeans.
Available only for a limited time, these ice cream cups are full of textures and flavors that offer a hybrid experience of mochi and ice cream.
