Hi everyone who want to go or is going to Japan,
In winter in Japan, What do you want to eat?? Ramen? Oden? Nabe (hot pot dishes)? Don't you want to eat something cold in winter? As a matter of fact, Most of Japanese like eating ice cream in a warm room with Kotatsu in winter. Generally, Rich taste ice cream ("ice cream" or "ice milk" is more popular in winter. (You can find out the Japanese ice cream and sorbet category on the article in this blog.), and today, I want you to know popular "Daifuku" ice cream. I guess "Daifuku" is what we called the Japanese food, and the ice cream used to be originally sold in just winter season.
The "Daifuku" ice cream is "Yukimi Daifuku" which is categorized into "Ice Milk". It looks like a Japanese daifuku mochi. Rich tasted ice cream is covered with Gyuhi (Gyuhi is one of the materials of Japanese confectionery and a kind of rice cake made by kneading). It is absolutely compatible with coffee and tea without sugar.
I have just one thing you must note before eating the ice cream: Don't hurry to put it into your mouth. You must wait to soften it up because it must be frozen hard. Ice cream in Gyuhi must be frozen hard, and Gyuhi also must be frozen hard. If you could wait a few minutes, Gyuhi is soft enough and stretchy, and ice cream is also soft: You must enjoy it so much!

Then, there are some different flavours coming up in each winter. The following 2 flavours are new ones in this winter: Hojicha and Kinako flavour. If you are going to Japan in this winter, you may want to try them! (in a warm room with Kotatsu, of course!)

So, I guess you must feel so cold in winter in Japan, but I want you to just enjoy your trip. Walking around outside and take a break with Kotatsu inside must be great for you!!
Enjoy your trip in Japan! And see you in the next article of the blog!!
