Ice Cream, Japanese Style

Mitch teaches on Wednesday nights from 5-8pm. He usually starts dinner for us before he goes and depending on what he is making, we might save some for him (If it is fish, I know he won't eat it so I don't bother saving him any). After his classes are finished, he sometimes will eat what he saved him, but most times he runs to Family Mart (it is like Circle K or 7 Eleven) to get dinner. And he always brings us home ice cream. These were tonight's treats...



This is what we like to call a waffle with ice and chocolate inside (the name is only written in Japanese).
It is delicious! Just enough chocolate for me!



This is another one of our favorites. A light coating of chocolate over creamy ice cream.


They are similar to BonBons. I like to "accuse" Mitch if sitting at home and eating Pino all day. They come is in different flavors (cheesecake, mint, etc) but the flavors don't last long in the stores. Japan is famous for trying new flavors on the market but pulling them while they are hot so that they never have to see if they would last of fail. Interesting concept.
