18.December.2016 | FOOD

Get your hands on two new premium ice-cream bars available for a limited time only at selected Seven Eleven stores throughout Kanto, Tokai, and Kinki. These luxurious treats went on sale from December 13th and are available in two scrumptious flavours: “Joël Robuchon Chocolat ~Orange & Condensed Milk Sauce” and “Joël Robuchon Strawberry ~Tahitian Vanilla & White Chocolate.”

These tasty ice-cream bars are now available after a two-year long arrangement with Joël Robuchon. The product utilises new methods of mixing ingredients and the sauce together to make a “marble-like” formation. These ice-cream bars are “Like a dessert, with an assortment of flavours and textures that gush inside your mouth like the waves.”

The bars use  “uncompromising ingredients” that include the highest quality chocolate made in France and a vanilla paste made from 100% Tahitian vanilla beans, as well as cocoa beans and freeze-dried strawberries to create an “accentuated texture.” They are the perfect and a rewarding treat for Christmas and New Years, so pick one up from your closest Seven Eleven to feel true happiness in your palms… ♡

These are the kind of treats made possible only by Joël Robuchon and his perfection and originality. Try one yourself this winter.

  • Häagen-Dazs uses first tea pick of the season to make luxurious matcha and hojicha tea ice creams!

    24.May.2019 | FOOD

    Häagen-Dazs Japan is releasing the matcha-flavoured crispy sandwich ice cream Green Tea Crème brûlée and a Japanese tea-flavoured latte ice cream in a mini cup called Hojicha latte. These two new ice cream flavours will be released on Tuesday 21st May countrywide at the same time for a limited period.

    Green Tea Crème brûlée crispy sandwich ice cream (for a limited time only ) ¥272 (RRP before tax) 

    The matcha crème brûlée made from matcha custard and caramel is the perfect flavour combination. This is encased in two crispy wafers. The rich aroma of matcha and the high quality sweetness is complemented with the creamy custard of the crème brûlée and provides a rich flavour for you to enjoy. A generous amount of caramel powder is used to create a deep-flavoured crème brûlée caramel. After biting through the crispy, fragrant wafer you will reach the subtle bitter flavour of the caramel.    

    Mini Cup Hojicha latte (for a limited time only ) ¥272  (RRP before tax) 

    Two types of hojicha tea latte swirl together with a maple finish. You can enjoy the real taste of tea leaves and their delicious aromatic flavour. This ice cream became very popular when it was sold in 2017. It was made using leaves from the first pick of the tea season. These leaves are less bitter and less acidic, so you can enjoy the elegance of the tea along with the luxurious flavour of the milk. Both of these combined create an exquisite flavour. The temperature of the water in which the tea is brewed and the time it is brewed for has been carefully managed to produce a clear, refreshing aftertaste whilst maintaining the highly aromatic hojicha fragrance.     Indulge in these two exquisite  Häagen-Dazs ice creams filled with carefully balanced flavours.
