As far as convenience store ice creams go, I'm a big fan of the Parm ones from Morinaga because they feel quite indulgent at a decent price point. They also come out with lots of different flavors throughout the year, and this honey and cream cheese offering is their latest one. It consists of a cream cheese ice cream that's marbled with a honey sauce, and then coated in white chocolate. The tart nature of the cream cheese flavor gets balanced nicely with the tastes of the honey and white chocolate, so it ends up feeling quite balanced. I liked this a lot more than I had anticipated!

Obviously, since this is a limited time product, if you find yourself really liking it you only have a short window in which to enjoy it. Also, even though I do think these are tasty and reasonably priced for what you get, there are absolutely cheaper icy treat options if peak cost effectiveness is your main consideration. Overall though, I liked this a lot -- the balance of tart-yet-sweet flavors was really nice, and I'd recommend it to anyone who likes trying out new and different ice cream flavors. Hope you enjoy it if you end up giving it a go!
