Green soft

グリーンソフト

Ice cream that can be called the original green tea soft

“Green soft (Ice cream)” is made by Gyokurinen, a tea manufacturer and seller in Dejima, Wakayama City since 1854. Gyokurinen, a very long-established tea shop that has been in business since the Edo period, is famous for its high-quality green tea, but it is also very famous for its “Green Soft”.

This ice cream is said to be an amazingly long-selling product that has been on the market since 1958. Not only is it loved as soul food by the people of Wakayama Prefecture, but it is also a monstrous classic ice cream product that sells about 2 million units a year.

The matcha flavor and monaka dough go well together and are very tasty from the first bite!

The flavor of matcha can be felt directly. Since it is an ice cream, it may not be a good souvenir to give to someone, but if you see it, please give it a try. The cute illustration of a duck on the package is a mark.
