The icecream that every Japanese Love

It is so hot these days, especially this summer.  Since the 3.11 nuclear power plant trouble, every company is forced to reduce by 15% of total consumption of electricity. So, every office set the air conditioning system to maintain 25c in office hour. Couple of dacades ago, at a time air conditioning sytem is not so familiar, everyone went to Department Store, Bank Offices, llibraries, coffee shop, etc., somewhere that had had an air cooling system to away from heat. But this year, those places are not so cool because they are also forced to reduce power consumption.

So, now icecream and beverage bottling companies are full in operation.

Here I introduce th ranking of some inexpensive icecream, that you can buy at convinience store.

No.1  Jumbo Choco Monaca
produced by: Morinaga Corp.
Price           : JPY 120  (USD$1.5)

Vanila and slice of chocolate icecream covered by Monaka. When you bite, it's crispy. 'Saku-Saku' is how we describe its crispiness. Monaka is a kind of wafer, but it's not like what you can imagine with waffles It's more thick and crsip on the surface, and soft inside,  and a little bit of sweetness included,. ... mmh, try first.






No.2  Gari Gari Kun
produced by Akagi  Nugyo
Price      : JPY 60 (US $0.8)

Look at this unsophisticated package. It looks cheap, plain and simple. And the inside is exactly it looks like.

This is a kind of icecrashed candy bar. Soda (ramune flavored)  icecream is inside. When you finish eating, look at the wooden stick. When you find 'あたり'　written on surface, then you won and can get another free Gari Gari kun,


See how cheap this campaign is. This is exactly boy kids love, and most adult men love. This product has been put in the market since 1964. And surprisingly, this ice candy bar was the most sold icecream at convenience store last year.
This Akagi Nyugyo is not a big company. I am sure they bet their live on this product.


No.3  Super Cup
produced by Morinaga
Price :  JPY 120 (US$1.5)

This is the best standard vanila ice cream.

Yes, this is plain and simple vanila ice cream.

 

but I may recommend this

My No.3 Sou

produce by Lotte
Price :  JPY 120 (US$ 1.5)

As this prodcut name shows, it's more brisk on tongue.

It's creamy, but not too much, sweet but not too much.

It feels like a litte bit of crashed ice in it.  You can't find any of such small ice cubic. Probably it is in micro mm scale.

Lastly, every icecream  Maccha (Grenntea) flavour icecream. try those, too.
