Summer is a great time for frozen treats! With the weather being so hot, we see stands for shaved ice, frozen fruit sticks and ice cream everywhere. The convenience store always has a large selection to choose from also. Flavours in japan are a bit more adventurous on top of the usual chocolate and vanillas. We also picked up some orange, lemon and grape Popsicle earlier, surprisingly the Popsicle itself was not coloured the epxected orange, yellow and purple that we are used to back at home. I wonder if it has to do with the reduced use of food colouring.
Our local Ministop has shaved ice with jello bits, fruit and soft service ice cream on top (250 yen) in Ramune/soda, strawberry and lemon flavors. Shaved ice and fruit at Korea town includes some red beans and corn flakes costed 500 yen. A similar one at Lawson runs for 200 yen. The ice cream sandwhich was 180 yen.
These were some of the snacks we picked up late at night to help kill the heat.
