Another visitor said “It’s my first time eating fig soft cream. The feeling of crushed figs remained in the cream, it was light and rich, easy to eat, and delicious. The texture of fig soft ice cream is unique. The cream is kneaded with small fig seeds.”
Kirara Taki said that “We make fig soft cream by mixing local fig paste with raw materials. It is a soft cream that gives you the feeling and flavour of fig. This parking area is a tourist spot where you can see the Sea of Japan.
Especially in summer, there are many tourists who can take soft cream and eat it while looking at the sea. I would like you to come and eat the scenery of Sea of Japan and delicious fig soft cream.”
