Haagen-Dazs Sakura Review

Japanese Food Review #77

Well, it is once again Flower Flavor Ice Cream Week here at The Times. This year there are only two entrants... and they are both from Haagen-Dazs! First up is their sakura, or cherry blossom, flavor. Japan has a lot of sakura flavored food this time of year, like Starbuck's sakura frappuccino. Mr. Dazs had a little trick up his or her sleeve for this one.

What?! Three layers of sakura! The ice cream was perhaps plain flavor. The sakura parts weren't ice cream. They were kind of syrupy. The combination actually sort of tasted like sakura mochi, but it wasn't salty at all.

Ratings:
Gaybot: 4.5  It was cool that it didn't just taste like fake sakura flavor, but it was just okay.
Girlbot: 7   She says she would never purchase it again, but if there were another in the freezer, she would eat it.
Overall: 5.75

Will Haagen-Dazs be able to beat these strong marks? Check back later this week.

Sakura Flavor Update

Girlbot has really been getting into sakura flavored items and she enjoyed this sakura frappuccino at Starbucks a while back. Just wanted to let you know that if you haven't already tried it, you are a huge loser. Starbucks has already stopped serving it a full month before the cherry blossoms actually bloom. If you're still craving it, I used my Majik Tongue TM  to decipher the recipe. First, get a box of Lucky Charms and pick out all the marshmallows. Then mix with whole milk, ice, and as much sugar as you can get to dissolve. Top with whipped cream and pink white chocolate.

Sakura is over. Here's a couple more pictures I took.

 Honey, I'm going to take some super close pictures of flowers. 

Have you seen my red coat and white pants?
