Bashamichi Ice Culin Harbor Yuzu

Inspired by the ice cream sold on the former Yokohama Bashamichi street.

“Bashamichi Ice Culin Harbor Yuzu” made by Ariake locatesn in Yokohama is a summer-limited seasonal product among  Yokohama Harbor, a famous confectionery. It is inspired by the ice cream clink that was once sold in Yokohama Bashamichi, and seems to be a limited edition flavor associated with the history of Yokohama.

Ice cream used to be called “Ice Culin” in the past, which is an ice cream-like confection made without raw milk. Therefore, ice culin made with yuzu may be like yuzu sorbet in modern times.

It looks like exactly Yokohama Harbor itself, but we can smell the soft aroma of yuzu,  citrus, when it is cut in half.

It contains “Ice Culin-paste” which is an original red bean paste containing yuzu peel.

The refreshing aroma of yuzu and the flavor of the sponge cake bun, which is very representative of Harbor, are good! It has a nostalgic sweetness with a slight creaminess that is typical of ice cream. It is like a sponge cake bun with a blend of Japanese and Western flavors.
