[Komeda's Coffee] I ate shaved ice and more [Kuppy Ramune]


One evening in June, it was so hot that I escaped into a nearby Komeda's Coffee.

Saved by the air conditioning.

I was nearly dying from the intense, Reiwa-era kind of broken heat, but
since it felt like shaved ice would taste 200% better right now, I decided to try the limited-time Kuppy Ramune shaved ice.

It looks very cool and refreshing, which is nice.

Without thinking, I just ordered it with the recommended toppings, and here it is.

Wait.

Before I knew it, I had ordered a bunch of other things besides the Kuppy Ramune shaved ice.
I think it was probably because of the heat. It couldn't be helped.

I don't really know why, but having a lot of food is a good thing, so I'm going to dig in and cool off.

Let's eat.



Kuppy Ramune Shaved Ice

890–950 yen
We sprinkled the powder used for Kuppy Ramune over the shaved ice. Inside the shaved ice, we've hidden ramune-flavored jelly to add an element of fun to eating it.
*Toppings available: soft serve ice cream (120 yen), condensed milk (80 yen).

I had the Kuppy Ramune Shiro-Noir the other day, but
I haven't tried this yet, so I'm going to savor it thoroughly. Since it was a good opportunity, maybe the extreme heat was a blessing in disguise.

First, the ice cream, as always.

The soft serve part has that familiar, solid milky flavor and is just plain delicious. It's the same reliable quality as always. With its rich volume and smoothness, it's cold and helps me calm down for a moment.

And now for the ice.

The ice itself had a very refreshing soda and ramune flavor.
With its infinitely crisp acidity and sweetness, combined with the blue color, it's endlessly refreshing. It soaks into my body, which was weakened by the heat.
I'm also happy that it's the super fluffy kind of ice you want to get at a coffee shop. It has a nice texture, is airy, and doesn't get too cold, so it was a delicious way to cool down just the right amount.
If you have a dog or cat, it's a fluffy ice that looks just like a trimmed tuft of fur.

Like that 'Fluffy' thing.

There are probably many people who think, 'I'm not really a fan of shaved ice,' or 'I'll wait until it gets a bit hotter,' or who are intimidated by the volume at Komeda's, but I think it's much easier to eat than you'd imagine.

Hey.

The jelly at the bottom was a blue as beautiful as the ice stages in Donkey Kong on the SFC. The creator might not have thought that far, but I feel like they were quite particular about the color.
This also had a crisp soda flavor with a solid refreshing feel, and the perfect amount of chewiness made it satisfying, so it didn't just end up being plain shaved ice. It arrived at the perfect time, and it was very delicious and satisfying.

It was a really great shaved ice with a truly mild acidity that you can only get from something that is artificial in a good way, like Ramune. It feels like the embodiment of the ideal shaved ice you want to eat in the summer.
If you add the soft serve topping, it becomes quite perfect with plenty of volume, refreshing, cold, and satisfying. It depends on whether you want volume, but since it also changes the flavor, I think it's recommended to have it.

It was very delicious with a flavor profile specialized for cooling down. I want to survive the summer with this little one.

Strawberry Shaved Ice

570-630 yen
A classic strawberry shaved ice loved by everyone. Please enjoy it with condensed milk or soft serve toppings.
*Price without toppings.
*Recommended toppings are soft serve (120 yen) and condensed milk (80 yen).

Oh, this is super delicious.

They say no fruit juice is used, so it is certainly an easy-to-understand artificial strawberry flavor, but
that strawberry flavor asserts itself firmly, and it tasted fully sweet and sour, which was amazing. I might even like it better than real strawberries. At the very least, I feel like it suits this shaved ice incredibly well.
If you ever eat strawberry shaved ice somewhere and think, 'This is the flavor I was looking for,' I guarantee this is that incredibly perfect strawberry flavor.

I'd be very embarrassed if I'm wrong and it's just the ice melting, but
unlike the others, the strawberry shaved ice seemed to have strawberry-flavored soft serve as well. This is also infinitely good. It's a very clear strawberry-flavored soft serve and it's just too delicious. It's said that things children like are generally liked by adults too, and it feels exactly like that.

If there is anyone who thinks this isn't delicious or feels it's too artificial, I'm honestly glad I don't have that sensibility because it was so delicious.
For some reason, I got really hooked on it. I love this strawberry. It's delicious.

Uji Matcha Shaved Ice

It was somehow the biggest one.

Syrup made using 100% rich Uji matcha. A refreshing taste where the aroma of matcha spreads throughout your mouth.
*Price without toppings.
*Recommended toppings are soft serve (120 yen), Komeda's special Ogura bean paste (120 yen), and condensed milk (80 yen).
*Availability varies by store. Please check with the store for details.

It was very delicious with a rich tea flavor.

In addition to the syrup, tea leaves are kneaded into the entire shaved ice. They are doing with green tea leaves what you often see in tea-flavored sweets.

A wonderful sprinkle.

I don't think I see this done with matcha very often, but it created a rich tea flavor and was excellent. It had a solid taste that you wouldn't expect from shaved ice. I want more things like this. Tea leaves are food.

If you get a little tired of it or it gets too cold, you can eat the bean paste and the ice, and it felt like you could enjoy Japanese-style shaved ice forever. The more toppings you add, the better it feels. It's a stable, classic combination, but it goes very well together and is great.

This one was also very good. There's nothing unusual about it, but it felt like a super stable and delicious matcha shaved ice.


I enjoyed eating all three types by switching between them. Thank you for the meal.

People

It was such an incredibly foolish order that by the end, I was shivering so much I couldn't even hold my spoon because my body was so cold,
but everything was incredibly delicious, and I didn't find it difficult at all; I was very satisfied. I mean, it was so good that I kept eating even while freezing.
Everything had its own distinct personality, which was great.

I think I'll try to quickly forget the fact that the person at the counter next to me looked at me about three times when everything arrived.


Shaved ice summary


Kuppy Ramune Shaved Ice
A soda flavor that goes all-in on summer-like refreshment; it's also quite filling with the jelly.

・Strawberry Shaved Ice
That flavor I wanted to eat. It makes you think, "Strawberry shaved ice is great, isn't it?"

・Uji Matcha Shaved Ice
It has such a rich tea leaf flavor you wouldn't think it was an ice dessert. You can really taste the tea. It seems like something that would suit Okage-an.

That was the general vibe.
Personally, the strawberry one left a strong impression, but all things considered, I think I'd like to recommend the Kuppy Ramune one.
It's a very summery, refreshing treat. It has a bit of tartness, but since it's shaved ice, I think it's on the easier side to eat.

Also, despite writing all this, it seems that shaved ice other than Kuppy Ramune might not be available at all locations,
so please check the official website when you go out specifically for shaved ice.You can search by store

By the way, I can't handle spices at all—like, to the level of having had some bad experience in a past life—so I don't think I'll ever eat the Chai shaved ice.
Because of this, I can never eat any of the meal menu items.



So, I managed to cool down to the point of mild hypothermia.
Everything was genuinely delicious and satisfying, so let's head home.

Dun dun dun dun dun

That's not quite how it goes, so I'm going to eat a little more.
It's hot, so it can't be helped. This is a crime committed by Me-san's own intent.

Kuppy Ramune Shiro-Noir

I ate this the other day and liked it so much that I decided to repeat it.
As always, the refreshing Ramune sauce and the ice cream are a perfect match, the Ramune-flavored rice crackers have a great crunchy texture, and the Danish soaked in Ramune has a nice, crisp, cool tartness that is very delicious.

Both the sauce and the powder are refreshingly sweet and tart. Me-san likes it.

When I searched for it online again, it seemed like there were quite a few mixed opinions about the Ramune sauce + Danish combination, so I hesitate to recommend it, but personally, I love it.
Anyway, it's a tartness without any weird aftertaste, so if you're not the type who just can't handle sour things at all, I'm irresponsibly confident that you'll enjoy it.

Personally, it's truly the most delicious Shiro-Noir during the summer, and if I had to choose between shaved ice and Shiro-Noir, I'd choose this one without hesitation.
If it looks like there's still plenty of stock left toward the end of the sales period, I'll go around and eat it all up.

Shiro-Noir (with extra whipped cream)

Yeah, it's me again. Sorry.
Lately, I can't go home without doing this.

Adding more and more whipped cream as usual.

I could do just this task forever.

Yes, it's done.

The ice cream is buried just right.

I pulled out the cherry, which had become like one of those gloves you find in April buried in a pile of snow in the corner of a Hokkaido Aeon parking lot, and ate it halfway through. It had plenty of whipped cream on it and was delicious.

Now I'll eat the main part. It's party time.

Ice cream with whipped cream.

No, really, it's nothing but delicious.

The coldness of the ice cream, the sweetness of the whipped cream, and the fluffy bread texture of the Danish all combine to be infinitely unfair. It's not just addition or multiplication; it's exponentially delicious. I've left everything in this world right here. Every bite feels like being showered with happiness. Soft, sweet, soft, sweet. Endless happiness.

Fluffy, sweet, fluffy.
Whipped cream is considered best when it's thicker than the Danish.

No matter how many times I've said it, and even if people say they're tired of hearing it, I will keep promoting how delicious this is. I'll keep doing it until I wither away. If I remember, I'll do it in my next life too.

Looking at my camera roll, I realized I'd taken about 100 photos of just this Shiro-Noir, which is a bit baffling.
I basically take photos when I think there's some meaning to it, but it's unclear what I wanted to highlight. I think it was probably just delicious, delicious, and delicious.

Well then, it was very delicious and satisfying, so I'm going to eat one more.

Shiro-Noir (Whipped Cream ++++)

This one is changed to whipped cream with three extra servings added. The combination with ice cream is great, but the pure whipped cream also has an undeniable charm.

Spread it, pile it, spread it, pile it, and there, it's finished.

Mt. Komeda

Snowy mountain, heavy snowfall, the summit of the gods. You can never have too much whipped cream.

I tried various things, but piling it into a mountain shape seemed best for both appearance and ease of eating. Next time, I want to try this with about 10 servings of whipped cream.

It seems there are some audacious people in this world who stack Shiro-Noirs,and while that is delicious, it makes me nervous, soI would never do such a reckless thing.

Now, I shall step through the fresh snow and enjoy it.

Having it with soft-serve ice cream is the ultimate, perfect deliciousness, but having it with just whipped cream is also a specialized kind of deliciousness that is infinitely good.
The whipped cream and the Danish are nothing but soft and fluffy, and it feels like they've taken only the happiness from the sweetness and softness, making it all so delicious. It should be heavy, but it's light. From start to finish, it's just fluffy. The sweetness and smoothness make it impossible to return to the real world.

Syrup in.

I think everyone reaches a point where they've had enough when eating sweets for a long time, and I, Mesan, do too, but
for some reason, no matter how much of Komeda's whipped cream I eat, that feeling never comes.
No matter how much I keep eating, it's just delicious and makes me want more. Seriously, if I don't stop at a reasonable point, I can't stop. How is this possible? It's scary. It's delicious. I want to try eating as much as I can just once.

With that said, I carefully and dearly enjoyed the delicious and sad last bite.

Thank you for the meal.

People

The long yet short, happy time has come to an end.
I think I'll return to reality now. Someone help me.



That was my trip to Komeda's Coffee, where I tried to enjoy a bit of cooling off.
The shaved ice was much more delicious than I expected. It was very last minute, but I'm glad I came. Even though I was on my way to go shopping, I ended up playing with the Shiro-Noir and the Gyomu Super closed, but I'm satisfied.

Honestly, the shaved ice doesn't have a huge volume and is in the same price range as the Shiro-Noir, so I was quite hesitant about what to do, but when I actually ate it while it was hot, it was genuinely delicious. The shaved ice did nothing wrong; it was all up to me, Mesan. Each ice is carefully crafted, so it's never the case that it lacks satisfaction.
I intend to keep having it from time to time whenever I can no longer bear the summer heat. Thank you very much. I was saved.

That's it for this time.
The Kuppy Ramune one is surely delicious, so if there are few people eating it, I, Mesan, would like to eat it to my heart's content.

I want to continue exploring the Shiro-Noir mountain in the future. Everyone should try it too.
