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.

Sakekasu Soft Ice Cream: A divine combination for the summer
Along with the resurgence of sake, it's no surprise that there has also been steady interest in amazake, the sweetened alcoholic beverage made from sakekasu, the lees of sake production, which is known for being nutritious as it contains vitamins, protein, organic acids, fiber and more. Although it's usually served hot, a sake brewer has found a way to enjoy amazake in frozen form — just in time for Japan's intolerably humid summer.

Chouxcream Chouxcri's Cassius Orange: A 'syukurimu' for true connoisseurs
Lovers of dessert, rejoice. The Chouxcream Chouxcri dessert store outfit have opened a second establishment selling syukurimu made from top-line ingredients near Shinjuku Station. The new outpost offers the chain's signature cream puff (¥290), but the highlight is clearly the Shinjuku-only Cassius Orange variety. This creation (¥330) has the same flaky exterior covered in powdered sugar, but features a creamy center mixing a tart black currant taste with a subtle orange zest. The result is well worth navigating the station — and the line you'll stand in once you find it.

Tokyo serves up some frozen delights

An idea simmering for centuries: Japanese 'white stew'
When a Japanese person hears the word "stew," the dish they're likely to think of is a concoction of stewed vegetables and chicken (occasionally pork or seafood) in a creamy white sauce. Called "cream stew" or "white stew" this is a typical yōshoku dish: one with ingredients that have European-Western roots, but which is uniquely Japanese.
