Ice cream, a sweet dessert, has long been a symbol of joy and refreshment. Colorful ice cream cups, with countless attractive flavors, not only bring a cool, sweet feeling, but are also a powerful "virtual life tool", helping young people freely create sparkling, stylish photos. However, talented Japanese chefs, with unlimited creativity, have "broken" all the rules, bringing a unique and "different" ice cream, which is raw anchovy ice cream. It sounds "strange", even "horrible", but this is a bold combination, showing the sophistication and uniqueness of Japanese cuisine.
No one would think that these fish would be combined with ice cream.
Japanese cuisine is famous for its "raw" dishes, from sashimi, sushi to fresh seafood dishes. However, combining raw anchovies with ice cream, a sweet dessert, is a "risky" challenge. Many people are hesitant, wondering whether this combination is really delicious or just a "weird" joke?
On the Chita Peninsula, a local ice cream shop called Chirimen Kobo Jacodes surprised many with its ice cream cone filled with fish toppings.
The ice cream is still the regular vanilla, then people sprinkle fresh anchovies on top.
In Japan’s Chita Peninsula, a local ice cream shop called Chirimen Kobo Jacodes has created a surprising and controversial culinary craze. Their ice cream cone topped with live anchovies has sparked much debate about its taste.
No, these are not optical illusions, but real, fresh Shirasu anchovies, delicately arranged on a bed of soft ice cream. Shirasu anchovies, with their small size, soft flesh and pure white color, are a common ingredient in Japanese cuisine, often eaten fresh or pickled as a side dish for porridge or rice. However, Chirimen Kobo Jacodes has boldly turned them into a topping for an ice cream cone, creating a "one-of-a-kind" combination.
A combination of rich whipped cream and small, salty anchovies
Priced at around 550 yen (equivalent to nearly 100,000 VND), this ice cream quickly attracted the curiosity of tourists. This ice cream quickly spread on social networks, causing a heated debate. One side praised the unique creativity, daring to challenge the limits of cuisine, while the other side "cried out" at this "strange" combination.
The ice cream cone still retains the traditional vanilla flavor, but the special highlight lies in the fresh anchovy topping. The small, white fish, floating on the ice cream, create an image that is both strange and curious. Is the combination of the salty taste of anchovies and the sweetness of ice cream really harmonious?
The flavor has been causing a lot of controversy on social media lately.
When enjoying, diners will feel a unique blend, creating a new taste experience. Some people think that this is a creative combination, helping to balance the sweet and salty flavors in a subtle way. The soft anchovies, with a natural salty taste, when combined with ice cream, create a surprising balance of flavors. The small size and delicate flavor of the anchovies do not overwhelm the flavor of the ice cream, but on the contrary, they create interesting highlights, bringing a unique salty and delicious aftertaste. On the contrary, many diners expressed confusion when tasting, thinking that the fish flavor on ice cream is a "crazy" and difficult to swallow combination.
Whether it is a culinary masterpiece or just a passing trend, Shirasu anchovy ice cream is still making waves in Japan. For those who love novelty and are not afraid to challenge their taste buds, this is definitely a dish worth experiencing. Japan has long been famous for its unique cuisine, constantly innovating and bringing unexpected combinations.
