hey,
I've started picking up some ice cream to eat with dinner, and so far I've tried a chocolate/orange one, and a green tea one. The orange/chocolate one was really tasty, but the green tea one was kinda gross. I mean, it tastes like green tea! Green tea is like a slightly bitter herbal flavor, and it really does nothing for me. It leaves a weird aftertaste and your whole mouth feels kinda funny afterward. For some reason, instead of water, most restaurants serve green tea.
So why did I pick it up? I thought that I was picking up a melon flavored ice cream (which would also be green). Check out this guy's blog for more on Japanese ice cream, complete with pictures.
