Häagen-Dazs Fall Ice Cream 華もち 吟撰きなこ黒みつ

And another wonderful fall ice cream I had to try! After having tried the other new Häagen-Dazs flavour, Mochi and Chestnut, I was curious to try this one as well: Mochi with Kinako and Kuromitsu.

The ice cream itself is kinako flavoured and you get the kuromitsu as separate thin layers of sauce in between. The mochi is on top with a nice dusting of kinako. I really liked the ice cream as it had all the great roasted nutty aromas you would expect some good quality kinako to have. The aroma reminded me rather of freshly roasted sesame than soy flour. The mochi and extra kinako on top were adding a nice texture to the whole thing and were making it more fun to eat.

My only critique is that there wasn’t enough kuromitsu, since the layers where very thin and in my case most of the sauce had collected at the bottom.
