Hi, this is Takako Narcisa, the North America admin staff.
In Las Vegas where I live, we’ve already been seeing highs over 100°F, and I’m melting every day.
Summer makes you want to stay indoors, but it also makes cold treats taste even better, right? So today, let’s talk about ice cream lol.
What’s your favorite ice cream flavor?
Japan has such a wide variety of ice cream flavors, and even convenience stores have seasonal flavors.
The flavors I always get at an ice cream shop are chocolate and lavender.
I love chocolate, and my favorite is the rich chocolate ice cream with brownies. As for lavender, it’s not a flavor I get to enjoy very often, but I love its delicate floral taste.
Recently, my friends from Japan came to Las Vegas, so we went to an ice cream place called “Sorry Not Sorry Creamery” which has locations in Nevada and Southern California.
These are the four flavors my husband and I picked:
Black sesame, chocolate, Ube, and Lavender
Black sesame was a seasonal flavor, and it wasn’t too sweet and had a wonderful, nutty flavor. It was absolutely delicious.
Also, it’s not from an ice cream place, but Trader Joe’s, a popular grocery store in America, also carries one of my favorite frozen treats: pistachio gelato.
They used to have half pistachio and half milk gelato, but now they only have pistachio. The creamy texture of the milk flavor was my favorite, so it’s a bummer, but at least they still carry the pistachio gelato lol.
Summer in Las Vegas is only just beginning.
It’s still going to be hot every day for a while, but let’s get through the summer by eating tasty ice cream.
Make sure to stay cool and take care of yourself!
