BLANCO ICE CREAM
Blissful ice cream made with Aso milk and local ingredients
"Our goal was to create the standard ice cream for American households," says owner Tatsuya Yoshiyama, who runs the shop with his family. He teamed up with his brother, Ikuya, a staff member at PADDLERS COFFEE in Yoyogi-Uehara, Tokyo, and opened a brick-and-mortar store in his hometown of Yamato-cho in 2023.
All flavors use milk from Aso, known for its rich flavor and pleasant aftertaste, and combine it with organic blueberries from Yamato Town and Japanese black tea to create a wide variety of flavors. Guests can also enjoy unique ice cream desserts such as the ice cream tart, which combines a crunchy texture with ice cream, and the new Monaka ice cream.
The weekly iced tart, made with dough from the popular tart shop Tartelette in Kumamoto City, is priced at 600 yen and comes with dark roast coffee.
