If you're in Japan and looking for a delicious treat, you've probably heard of the "big three" convenience store chains: 7-Eleven, Family Mart, and Lawson. But there's another player in the game that's making waves with their unique approach to convenience store snacks - Ministop. And let us tell you, their Super Milk soft serve ice cream is worth seeking out.
Ministop isn't just your average convenience store. In fact, they have a chain of ice cream parlors called Minisof, that focus solely on serving up the best soft serve ice cream in town. Our Japanese-language reporter, Seiji Nakazawa, recently discovered this hidden gem and couldn't wait to try it out for himself.
Upon arrival, Seiji was surprised to see a menu section labeled "Drinkable Soft Serve Ice Cream" - something he had never seen before. The flavors all sounded tempting, but he ultimately decided on the Super Milk (or Cho Milk in Japanese). And let us tell you, this drinkable ice cream lives up to its name.
At 590 yen, the Super Milk may seem a bit pricey for a dessert, but once you see the size of the cup, you'll understand why. This drinkable treat is basically a cup filled with creamy vanilla ice cream, topped with a generous swirl of whipped cream. And to enhance the milky flavor, the staff adds a drizzle of condensed milk on top.
But don't be fooled - this isn't your typical dessert to eat with a spoon. The Super Milk is meant to be sipped through a straw, similar to a milkshake. Seiji was initially skeptical, but to his surprise, the ice cream was smooth and consistent enough to easily flow through the straw and straight to his taste buds.
The only downside? This unique drinkable soft serve ice cream is only available at Minisof locations, and there's only one in Tokyo's Ikebukuro neighborhood. But trust us, it's worth the trip. Plus, while you're there, you can check out some of the other popular spots in Ikebukuro, like the huge anime store or the Great Floating Buddha.
So if you're in the mood for a tasty and unforgettable treat, head to Minisof and try their Super Milk Drinkable Soft Serve Ice Cream. And don't forget to follow us on Facebook and Twitter for more articles like this!
