The lineup of soft-serve ice cream that can be lined up in the summer is "vanilla," which is a thick 99.6% dairy product, "Yubari melon," which uses Yubari melon juice, and "mix." If you want to eat soft-serve ice cream in Ginza, we recommend you to go to Hokkaido Dosanko Plaza.

The Hakata (Fukuoka)

Located on the basement floor of Tokyo Kotsu Kaikan, The Hakata. It's a rare antenna shop for Hakata, rather than Fukuoka Prefecture itself, but it does in fact carry some of Fukuoka's best products. It's a great place to learn about the history and culture of Fukuoka Prefecture.
