Oh Isetan Hokkaido Fair..How I adore thee! Why do you only grace us with your presence once a year?
Matcha Gelato, Cream Dowa
I spied Black Sesame and PUMPKIN gelato in the display case yesterday but I was way too full from the cupcake I had at lunch so I made a trip down to Isetan earlier this afternoon to get my gelato fix. Alas, both flavors were SOLD OUT. I had to settle for Matcha which wasn't a bad choice. Definitely one of the better Matcha renditions I've tried. I just wanted to try a more unusual flavor.
Note to self: ALWAYS make space for dessert!
Butter Manju with CUSTARD, Hokayu
I read about this a few months ago and have been patiently waiting for the Hokkaido Fair just so I can try this. The custard is not too sweet but the texture is very thick and rich. One manju is more than enough for me!
I was very, very tempted by the fresh salted caramels but at almost $10 a box I decided that they were an unnecessary extravagance and ended up with some sweet potato goodies instead!
