Baskin Robbins' 'Popping Shower' ice cream promises more pop
Baskin Robbins' ongoing tie-up with confectionery maker Fujiya has produced a bumper crop of tasty sweets available at convenience stores across the country. But so far, none of them have been particularly daring. The candies tend to highlight a pretty basic palette of flavors — chocolate, strawberry, mint — and feel more like a branding exercise than must-try sweets.

Baskin-Robbins gives the Japanese summer an icy welcome
The heat might not have reached peak levels yet, but ice cream chain Baskin-Robbins marked the start of summer this week with two special crushed-ice treats for 2016. Each dessert (¥450) includes two layers of flavored shaved ice and is accompanied by a scoop of your preferred ice cream on top. The “Tropical Beach” variety looks refreshing, with its assortment of fruity flavors, but the watermelon offering is more eye-catching. It mixes watermelon and regular melon flavors together, creating something that resembles and tastes like melon soda. The inclusion of chocolate chips as “seeds” adds a welcome sweetness.
