Harajuku Omotesando area in Tokyo, a stylish street well-known of its sophisticated shops and cafés. Here at this fashionable zone, one can find the store GOMAYA KUKI that is said selling the “world’s richest” sesame ice creams.

Kuki Sangyo was founded in Meiji 19 (1886). The business started when they obtained an oil machine from England and began to extract the oils from sesame seeds. 

[Heart, grain by grain]

Just as in their slogan, you can try the sesame ice cream which use the sesame from this prestigious store in GOMAYA KUKI.

Free-flow Topping of Sesame Seed and Sesame Oil

There are 6 types of sesame ice cream in GOMAYA KUKI; “very rich” and “super rich” flavors are available for both black and white sesame.

What we recommend is the double ice cream of “Black Super Rich” which use plenty of the carefully finely ground black sesame and the “White Super Rich” of which you can taste the original taste of white sesame. 

And for topping, you can enjoy the free sesame seeds and sesame oil as much as you like!! 

Topping the mixed white and black ice cream with the shining Kuki pure sesame oils. 

The fragrance of the sesame oil tickled my nose. Also, topped the ice cream with the sesame seeds.

The “Black Super Rich” has a rich taste like the raw chocolate. While the White Super Rich is milky and smooth. You get to enjoy the sesame flavor in both, while the sesame seed oils add to the smoothness of the ice cream and its fragrance. Please do try this. 

There are about 9000 sesame seeds in 1 cup of ice cream. 

The flavor lingers but unbelievably, the aftertaste is very clear. (This coverage was taken in December 2017)
