The soft serve is a must-try; customers rave about its rich and creamy texture, making it an indulgent treat that you won’t soon forget. One visitor, ‘私が宗達のオバさん’, described it as “モコモコ系のソフトクリームでとても濃厚でした！！” which highlights its delightful, fluffy consistency and rich flavor profile.

For those seeking something refreshing during warmer months, the various kakigori flavors, like their limited edition “ももみるく” (peach milk), are simply divine. Another satisfied customer, ‘oyabun’, noted the expertly shaved ice, “氷の削り方はふわっとしていていい感じ,” which allows the syrup to drench each fluffy flake seamlessly. The addition of soft serve in the kakigori provides a creamy contrast, keeping each spoonful exciting until the last bite.
