A soft serve ice cream that have been sold since 1973 is very popular, and a lot of tv programs and magazines take up topics, and not only local people but also tourists from all over Japan visit here.

A signboard showed "Soft Serve Ice Cream is here", so I visited a window outside. There were 3 types of flavors (Mocha Flavor (モカソフト), Vanilla Flavor (バニラソフト) and Swirl (ミックスソフト)). The price was JPY 260 per one. The price is JPY 310 if you eat it at the building. Especially, Mocha Flavor Soft Serve Ice Cream is famous. They make coffee by the drip method themselves and it is used for raw materials of the soft serve ice cram. It is just a taste of the cafe.

The texture was different from the soft serve ice cream used to eating when I ate it at once. It was the crunchy texture. The texture like Gelato is popular reason. The Soft Serve Ice Cream of Coffee Room Kikuchi seems to be cooler than an ordinary soft serve ice cream. I am sure that it suits a hot day. I enjoyed the taste with the brain freeze.
