K is for …

K is for kool.
Well not exactly …but K is for Kinako ice cream– my food discovery of 2011.
K is for Kyoto, where I discovered Kinako ice cream.
And lastly, K is for Kinana, the kool ice-cream shop in Gion which churns out
freshly made ice cream that has a voluptuous texture.



The parfaits are popular but I prefer to stick with the basic flavours to enjoy it as it is. Go for the freshly made flavour of the day - the plain 'original' flavour is to me the best.
