Mochi Ice Cream Ramen Is A New Melt-in-your-mouth Pairing That Will Give You Brain Freeze Or Blow Your Mind

Kourakuen’s mochi ice cream ramen


Unorthodox food combinations often throw people off guard, with them questioning the sanity of the chef or straight up dismissing it as trolling of sorts. However, there are times where the experimental dish works and is sold as a legit cuisine, such as the mochi ice cream ramen at the ramen restaurant, Kourakuen.

Kourakuen, a ramen chain in Japan well-known for coming up with unorthodox food combinations, is collaborating with popular mochi ice cream brand – Yukimi Daifuku – to bring to their customers the Yukimi Daifuku shio ramen (¥540, ~USD4.90), which is essentially mochi ice cream in ramen.

This is part of their campaign to celebrate the ramen chain’s 67th anniversary, which lasts from 2nd September 2021 to 15th September 2021.

Aside from the mochi ice cream ramen available during the campaign period, they also have the Yukimi Daifuku chashu (¥380, ~USD3.45), which is mochi ice cream wrapped in chashu – pork slices – and drizzled with a dollop of caramel sauce.

If the experimental dishes sound too adventurous for you, you can also purchase the Yukimi Daifuku mochi ice cream separately in a set of two for ¥100 (~USD0.91).
