We will have "Mont Blanc gelato" (sweet potato gelato)!

Delicious Mont Blanc cream
The moderately sweet "Honey Potato Futairo♪Mont Blanc Gelato".
I immediately ordered the "Honey sweet potato two-color Mont Blanc gelato"! I was able to watch the Mont Blanc cream being squeezed and was very curious to see how it was made (laugh). All eyes were on the Mont Blanc cream, which came out looking very delicious! Now let's receive the product and eat it!
I took the first bite with a spoon. The sweetness of the red sweet potato cream and the silky sweet cream from Shinshu spread in my mouth. And the Oimo gelato made with milk from Shinshu is very rich and gentle. The moderate sweetness of the gelato makes it easy to eat, and the taste is doubled when eaten with the waffle cone!

Please visit "Shinshu Oimo Kobo" for souvenirs!
