The mysterious black soft-serve ice cream might scare some people away, but we think it is one of the most delicious of the soft cream flavors in Japan. It gets it’s color from black sesame seeds 黒ごま, giving it a nutty and sweet flavor. At this shop in Kamakura, they sprinkle the soft cream with ground gold sesame seeds, giving this cold treat an incredible aroma. Sesame is a popular flavor in many foods, from savory ramen broth to sweet desserts, so be sure to try a sesame flavored treat as you wander the neighborhoods of Japan.
