The Rum Raisin flavor had a nice blend of rum flavor in a milk-based ice cream with just the right amount of raisins, making it quite delicious. The Hopping Shower flavor had various candies mixed into vanilla and mint ice cream, providing a fun and tasty combination of flavors and textures. ▼Impressions▼ (As of August 2022) Baskin-Robbins, a popular ice cream chain founded in America, has become a global success story. In Japan, it is operated under the name "31 Ice Cream" as a joint venture with Fujiya. This particular store is located along the Outer Ring Road, making it a rare roadside branch. I visited this store after a long time and ended up choosing the same combination of flavors as before, which I personally enjoyed. I would like to try new flavors next time if I have the chance.

I took a break from discounts for the past 31 days, probably due to the coronavirus situation. Regardless, I purchased a variety pack. There are limited-time ice creams available, making the selection process enjoyable! There are six flavors, with a focus on orange cheesecake and strawberry cheesecake. The strawberry cheesecake is a standout with chunky cheesecake pieces mixed in. The ice cream has evolved and although sweet, it can be enjoyed with a subtle strawberry acidity and refreshing taste. The orange cheesecake has more of a mandarin orange nuance rather than orange. It has a slight acidity and refreshing taste, allowing you to enjoy both the tartness and sweetness of the cheesecake ice cream.

It's getting hot, isn't it? Ice cream is delicious in this season! I went to this place for the first time, it opened last year around the end of the year. It was quite crowded with families during the holidays! Luckily, I got to try the one with heart-shaped chocolate that I've been wanting to eat. It was cute and delicious! It was a good deal that day. I'll definitely stop by more often in the summer (laughs). I'll visit again!

Not long ago, there used to be cake shops and pastry shops near the station where you could buy ice cream to take home, but due to the recession, all those kinds of stores have disappeared. Although it's a bit far from Hyotan-yama Station, the fact that a Baskin Robbins has opened along the outer ring road may be good news for those who love sweets in Hyotan-yama, especially for children. In fact, it seems like there are always customers inside the store whenever you go. It's nice that they have ice cream flavors that you can't find in convenience stores. Since it's a chain store, the high price of the ice cream doesn't bother me too much. However, the store is quite small for an out-of-town location, so it may not be suitable for eating inside.

Hopping Shower is a mint-flavored ice cream with Pop Rock candy for a unique texture and refreshing taste. Rum Raisin features a slightly milky base with rum flavor and raisins, creating a delicious flavor. ▼Impressions▼ (March 2019) Baskin-Robbins, originally founded in America and now a popular ice cream chain worldwide, is operated in Japan as a joint venture with Fujiya. This roadside shop on Rokumonji Road is located along the Outer Ring Road. I visited on Baskin-Robbins Day, where the double scoop was discounted by 31%. The Small Double Cup I had was delicious and consistent in flavor. However, I noticed that prices have increased significantly over the past year, which may affect future visits in this price-sensitive era. I hope they consider making it more affordable for customers.

I visited Softbank's Super Friday to take advantage of their deals. I chose the "Maple Sweet Potato" flavor, which seemed to be the most seasonal option. The sweet potato flavor mixed with maple syrup was rich and satisfying. As the autumn weather starts to cool down, enjoying delicious food for free is a great treat. I'm already thinking about what to try next time I visit.
