🍦 Ice cream
Japan: from mochi ice cream to wasabi
Japan turns ice cream into invention. Convenience stores stock Lotte's Yukimi Daifuku, soft mochi wrapped around vanilla, while soft-serve (sofuto kurīmu) stands serve Uji matcha, hojicha, black sesame and even sweet potato. Tea houses in Kyoto and Tokyo build layered matcha parfaits, and novelty flavours, from sakura to wasabi, appear in season. Vending machines and depachika food halls make discovery effortless, and deep, slightly bitter matcha is the point.
