Haagen-Dazs ice cream becomes a Japanese sweet of roasted green tea and black honey 'GREEN CRAFT Mini Cup 'Hojicha Kuromitsu'' Advance tasting review

The Haagen-Dazs lineup will be joined for a limited time from Tuesday, September 3, 2024 by the addition of the GREEN CRAFT Mini Cup 'Hojicha Kuromitsu,' a soy milk ice cream with a Japanese sweet feel that combines roasted green tea and black honey . The editorial department received the first Japanese-flavored ice cream in the GREEN CRAFT series, which features plant-based milk blended with soy milk, so we tried it ahead of time.

The ingredients are soy milk, sugar, powdered candy, brown honey sauce, egg yolk, roasted green tea, salt, and stabilizer. The calorie content is 198 kcal per 110 ml.

When I opened the lid, I found roasted green tea ice cream with black honey sauce.

The Hojicha ice cream has an impressive taste with the refreshing aroma of Hojicha and the creaminess of soy milk, and it goes perfectly with the elegant and mellow sweetness of the thick Kuromitsu. Soy milk ice cream often has a unique soy milk flavor or is a little bland, so you don't feel like you've eaten anything, but the 'GREEN CRAFT Mini Cup Hojicha Kuromitsu' has a harmonious taste like Japanese sweets rather than the taste of soy milk itself, so it's an ice cream that can be recommended not only to people who like Hojicha and Kuromitsu, but also to those who don't like soy milk.

Haagen-Dazs' 'GREEN CRAFT Mini Cup 'Hojicha Kuromitsu'' will be available for purchase at supermarkets, convenience stores and other retailers nationwide from Tuesday, September 3, 2024, with a suggested retail price of 351 yen (tax included).
