September is type of a bizarre time for sweets in Japan. On the one hand, foodies are wanting to get pleasure from fall flavors and seasonal components, but it surely’s additionally nonetheless fairly sizzling and humid most days.
The answer many sweets followers decide on is candy potato ice cream, which is why Häagen-Dazs brings out a brand new selection yearly. The latest, which simply hit comfort shops and supermarkets final Tuesday, is known as Kanjuku Beniharuka, and we made certain to put aside time in our schedule, and area in our abdomen, to attempt it immediately.
At 295 yen, this isn’t precisely the most cost effective ice cream choice, however Häagen-Dazs has earned a fame as being value splurging on relating to their candy potato flavors. We nonetheless have fond meals flashbacks to final 12 months’s model, the Mitsuimo Tart, with its golden glaze topping the cream.

If we’re being fully sincere, although, we have been dissatisfied when we opened the lid of Häagen-Dazs’s new Kanjuku Beniharuka.
Sure, our love for ice cream is so deep that it’s not possible for it to ever look unhealthy to our eyes. The Kanjuku Beniharuka, although, is so easy and spartan-looking that it was type of exhausting for us to get excited in regards to the visuals, particularly in contrast with these reminiscences of final 12 months’s two-layer deal with.
But hey, it’s not like we’re not going to eat ice cream as soon as it’s in entrance of us, so we grabbed a spoon…
…and immediately felt like idiots for doubting that Häagen-Dazs would ship on its potato-y guarantees. Sure, from above the Kanjuku Beniharuka would possibly seem like a plain tub of cream, however that’s simply because there are chunks of precise candy potato hiding inside it.
As specified within the identify, these are beniharuka candy potatoes, a Japanese selection prized for its sweetness and dessert applicability. The kanjuku a part of the identify refers to selecting produce on the optimum time, and our taste-tester Okay Masami confirms that the beniharuka bits are scrumptious, with an ideal fluffy but crumbly texture.
The mixed taste with the cream is good too, because it’s candy sufficient to fulfill your dessert cravings, however not so sturdy as to drown out the beniharuka, as you may nonetheless style loads of candy potato in each chunk.
Even by the excessive requirements we’ve come to anticipate from Häagen-Dazs Japan, the Kanjuku Beniharuka is excellent, Masami says. “This is, without question, one of the best sweet potato flavors they’ve ever released,” she gushes, making it an ideal option to straddle summer time and autumn sweets, in addition to a pleasant companion to Japan’s new beniharuka donuts.
