This tier list is for all my ice cream lovers out there with limited time in Japan but want to try the best. From one ice cream addict to another (´。• ᵕ •。`) ♡
Mochi ice cream bar
An experience on its own, no spoilers because I want you to enjoy it. If you love mochi and kinako, you MUST get this!!![Mochi ice cream bar](/_next/image?url=%2Fkonbini-ice-creams%2F711-mochi.jpg&w=640&q=75)
Morinaga vanilla ice cream sandwich
Tastes like the perfect ice cream sandwich if you're craving one. The biscuit bit is a nice soft consistency but still has bite to it and the ice cream has a pretty good more traditional vanilla taste.![Morinaga vanilla ice cream sandwich](/_next/image?url=%2Fkonbini-ice-creams%2Fmorinaga-vanilla-sandwich.jpg&w=640&q=75)
Papico Coffee and Chocolate Bar
Maybe a controversial placing for this papico bar, but I actually really loved it. I enjoyed it so much that it made me want to try the other Papico flavours - this was a mistake.![Papico Coffee and Chocolate Bar](/_next/image?url=%2Fkonbini-ice-creams%2Fpapico-coffee-choc.jpg&w=640&q=75)
DARS Ice cream crepe
I love crepes so I loved this LOL crepe lines can be kind of a pain, so this is a nice quick fix![DARS Ice cream crepe](/_next/image?url=%2Fkonbini-ice-creams%2Fdars-crepe.jpg&w=640&q=75)
Lotte Choco Pie
What you'd expect when you think of a choco pie ice cream. I'd definitely get it again if I was craving a choco pie.![Lotte Choco Pie](/_next/image?url=%2Fkonbini-ice-creams%2Flotte-choco-pie.jpg&w=640&q=75)
Family mart tokyo banana special
I've never loved banana flavoured desserts but this one is really well done even I liked it. I think you'll really love this if you enjoy banana desserts.![Family mart tokyo banana special](/_next/image?url=%2Fkonbini-ice-creams%2Ftokyo-banana.jpg&w=640&q=75)
GIANT Chocolate milk cone
I enjoyed this one the most out of all the GIANT cones. Signature GIANT airy waffle cone, quite a different texture to the normal cones I'm used to.![GIANT Chocolate milk cone](/_next/image?url=%2Fkonbini-ice-creams%2Fgiant-choc-milk.jpg&w=640&q=75)
Chocolate mochi ice cream
Rich chocolate ice cream with mochi. So good!![Chocolate mochi ice cream](/_next/image?url=%2Fkonbini-ice-creams%2Fchoc-mochi.jpg&w=640&q=75)
Haagen Dazs Caramel Sandwich
Good icecream, as expected from the brand. They have this chocolate coating between the ice cream and the wafer so it keeps the wafer crunchy.![Haagen Dazs Caramel Sandwich](/_next/image?url=%2Fkonbini-ice-creams%2Fcaramel-sandwich.jpg&w=640&q=75)
Family Mart Purin
Three layers: cream, caramel and pudding. The caramel really made the whole dessert, I'd recommend leaving it out for a bit if it's cold so you can scoop all three layers at once when you do eat it. Nice to try once, but I wouldn't get it again.![Family Mart Purin](/_next/image?url=%2Fkonbini-ice-creams%2Ffamima-purin.jpg&w=640&q=75)
GIANT Chocolate cone
The waffle part of all the GIANT cones are different to what I'm used to, more airy! I kinda like the change. I prefer the vanilla version, the chocolate flavour was pretty deep and not too sweet but got a bit too much for the whole cone.![GIANT Chocolate cone](/_next/image?url=%2Fkonbini-ice-creams%2Fgiant-chocolate-cone.jpg&w=640&q=75)
Grape Ice Balls
Bite size ice balls that resemble real grapes but the flavouring is what you'd expect from a grape flavoured lolly in Japan. Has that signature grape flavour taste. Refreshing little snack to have and just to keep in your freezer for when you want something small.![Grape Ice Balls](/_next/image?url=%2Fkonbini-ice-creams%2Fgrape.jpg&w=640&q=75)
Hersheys Waffle ice cream
Better than expected. I personally don't like the taste of Hersheys chocolate (tastes too artificial) but this ice cream doesn't have that. Just a classic waffle ice cream, good for when you want something small as they're portioned into 1-2 bite pieces.![Hersheys Waffle ice cream](/_next/image?url=%2Fkonbini-ice-creams%2Fhersheys-waffle.jpg&w=640&q=75)
Jumbo Morinaga Vanilla waffle sandwich
This thing is huge and the chocolate filling saves the whole thing. The vanilla ice cream was okay but it gets a C tier because the waffle was weirdly hard and crunchy. A friend told me theirs wasn't crunchy so if you get lucky I'd bump it up to a B tier.![Jumbo Morinaga Vanilla waffle sandwich](/_next/image?url=%2Fkonbini-ice-creams%2Fjumbo-vanilla-waffle.jpg&w=640&q=75)
Daifuku x Ishiya
Tastes exactly like the image, would recommend if you'd like to try a new flavour, but gets a C because it was a bit too sweet for me.![Daifuku x Ishiya](/_next/image?url=%2Fkonbini-ice-creams%2Fishiya-daifuku.jpg&w=640&q=75)
Disneysea tiramisu ice cream sandwich
Bonus non-konbini ice cream! This was okay, it had quite a strong cheese flavour that kinda turned me off. I know cheese is used in tiramisu but normally it results in a very creamy texture for the tiramisu but this one I could straight up taste cheese LOL an interesting experience![Disneysea tiramisu ice cream sandwich](/_next/image?url=%2Fkonbini-ice-creams%2Ftiramisu-disneysea.jpg&w=640&q=75)
711 Rich milk ice cream
Very generous serving, tastes like a harder maccas soft serve. Not bad![711 Rich milk ice cream](/_next/image?url=%2Fkonbini-ice-creams%2F711-soft-serve.jpg&w=640&q=75)
Chocolate Almond sugar free ice cream
Nothing special, just a good choc almond ice cream. It is sugar free tho so that's a bonus if you're concerned about sugar intake. Still sweet even with no sugar so not sure what they added to it, but might be worth checking the ingredients.![Chocolate Almond sugar free ice cream](/_next/image?url=%2Fkonbini-ice-creams%2Flawson-choc-almond.jpg&w=640&q=75)
Chocolate brownie ice cream sandwich
It looked really good, but the taste was kinda disappointing and I got sick of it within a couple bites.![Chocolate brownie ice cream sandwich](/_next/image?url=%2Fkonbini-ice-creams%2F711-choc-brownie-sandwich.jpg&w=640&q=75)
Lipton royal milk tea ice bar
Tastes like what you'd expect, lipton in ice bar form :P![Lipton royal milk tea ice bar](/_next/image?url=%2Fkonbini-ice-creams%2Flipton-milk-tea.jpg&w=640&q=75)
Chocolate Coated Ice cream Ball
I fully went into this expecting it to by a choc coated mochi like the other ones in this packagaing but nope, no mochi. Just a chocolate covered ice cream.![Chocolate Coated Ice cream Ball](/_next/image?url=%2Fkonbini-ice-creams%2Fchoc-coated-ball.jpg&w=640&q=75)
Matcha monaka waffle sandwich
Not bad, but not good. I got bored of it within a few bites but it's quite big so might be good if you want quantity. Not sweet at all.![Matcha monaka waffle sandwich](/_next/image?url=%2Fkonbini-ice-creams%2Fmatcha-monaka-waffle.jpg&w=640&q=75)
Papico Milk
Underwhelming, not worth the effort of sucking it up for the taste![Papico Milk](/_next/image?url=%2Fkonbini-ice-creams%2Fpapico-milk.jpg&w=640&q=75)
7/11 sweet potato soft serve
Really did not vibe with the filling, and sweet potato flavour did not taste like sweet potato. Might be okay for a couple bites but I got sick of the taste pretty quickly![7/11 sweet potato soft serve](/_next/image?url=%2Fkonbini-ice-creams%2F711-sweet-potato-soft-serve.jpg&w=640&q=75)
Papico strawberry
Too strong of an artificial strawberry flavour. I really did not like this one.![Papico strawberry](/_next/image?url=%2Fkonbini-ice-creams%2Fpapico-strawberry.jpg&w=640&q=75)
