Really? Ice cream that does not melt!
In Japan’s humid summers, some popsicles are staying cool even in the heat.
An accidental discovery at Kanazawa-based Biotherapy Development Research Center helped create popsicles that reportedly don’t melt, and they’re available for sale in parts of Japan. Kanazawa Ice—also known as “not melting popsicles”—first hit stores in the northwestern city Kanazawa in April.
・Kumamon popsicles
・Takoyaki ice sold in Osaka shop, at the above also sprinkled gold foil!
The secret ingredient that helps the popsicles keep their shape is polyphenol liquid extracted from strawberries. “Polyphenol liquid has properties to make it difficult for water and oil to separate so that a popsicle containing it will be able to retain the original shape of the cream for a longer time than usual and be hard to melt,” said Tomihisa Ota, the popsicle’s developer.
You can now take your time to enjoy Kanazawa Ice.
