Hey, everyone! When you’re spending a busy day shopping and sightseeing, do you ever feel like you want to take a breather? Today I’m going to be introducing a high-quality ice cream parlor in Omotesando that’s perfect for times like that! It’s also very easy to find, so it’s a great place for meeting up with people!
Its name is Ben & Jerry’s, and it’s a first-class ice cream chain that’s loved around the world. Its ice cream is made to very high standards, using only free-range eggs, milk that uses no hormones or drugs whatsoever, and Fair Trade-certified cocoa and vanilla. (Apparently, it’s the first Fair Trade-certified ice cream in Japan!) The branch here in Omotesando is one of four Ben & Jerry’s “Scoop Shops” in Japan!
(The storefront from the street.)
The storefront is wonderfully cute. Let’s have a look inside!
The names and the flavors are so exciting—Yoyoyoi Vanilla, made using Fair Trade-certified vanilla; Straw Bearry, with cute polar bear-shaped white chocolates! With limited Japan-only flavors like Hubchari Yoyoyomogi and Subaratea Time also available, it’s hard to know what to choose! There are also ice cream burritos, shakes, and sundaes! Today I decide to go for Ben & Jerry’s most popular flavor—Cherry Garcia!
You can get ice creams to go, but I head to the eat-in area at the back of the store...
The interior is very cute, with milk bottle lights...
...and cowhide patterned chairs!
Time to dig in to my ice cream!
The smooth ice cream, packed with cherries and chocolate chunks, is absolutely exquisite!
Ben & Jerry’s ice cream parlor on Omotesando really does have both great flavor and great atmosphere! Make sure you stop by!
