KOCHI-ICE
‘MADE IN土佐’ HANDMADE ICE CREAM
Sourcing natural ingredients (salt, egg, Satsuma, grapefruit and more) in southern Japan since 1988, Kochi-Ice insists on hand-making their ice cream and sorbet. With an emphasis on natural flavours, no preservative is added to the carefully handcrafted products.
Kochi-Ice’s ‘Made in土佐’ ice cream flavours stretch from rice, salt, brown sugar, Sencha, English tea to egg, with vanilla as a ‘base’. Rice grown locally in Kochi-ken is used in its rice ice cream, adding a touch of sticky texture; sea salt from Kuroshio-cho gives a punch of saltiness to the sweet flavour, with health enhancing minerals – even more so when eaten with rice ice cream; English tea ice cream is like chewing (or sipping, depending on your habit) through an iced white tea; Sencha sourced from Ikegawa has a bitter undertone; protein-packed egg flavour is a layering of milk and egg, and not too sweet; brown sugar ice cream is scattered with crystalised sugar pieces. Each one a taste of its own, the six flavours make a fine selection for healthy dessert.
