The gold foil ice cream in this shop is actually just ordinary ice cream wrapped in a layer of gold foil. The gold foil itself has no taste and melts in your mouth, but at least you are eating gold, which is quite luxurious.
I think everyone has eaten ice cream, but if I ask about gold foil ice cream, I think not many people have eaten it. The ice cream of this shop is like this. After eating it, I can sum it up in one word, "luxurious"!
Hakuichi (Kenrokuen store) is where I come to check out the gold leaf ice cream that I have been collecting for a long time. There are several branches of Hakuichi that sell gold leaf ice cream, as well as gold leaf products, facial masks, coffee, etc. Milk ice cream is actually just ordinary ice cream with a layer of gold foil pasted on the outside, and the gold foil has not been pasted on well yet.
Strictly speaking, Hakuichi is not a restaurant, but a famous gold leaf craft experience shop in Kanazawa. There are many gold leaf lacquerware here, and the bowls, plates, chopsticks, and pen holders are all covered with gold foil. There are also edible gold foil coffee, face masks, and gold foil cosmetics. The essence and lotion are all soaked in gold foil. Of course, the most attractive thing here is the gold foil ice cream. A thin layer of gold foil paper is applied on the outside of the milk ice cream. It is so thin that the gold foil will fly into the sky when you exhale from your nostrils. It has a strong milk flavor, but the taste of gold foil is not tasted at all. It melts in your mouth and disappears without a trace.
It is located in the center of Kanazawa City. It is not very big. The most famous thing about this ice cream shop is its gold foil. In fact, the taste is not very good. It is no different from ordinary ice cream, but it has a strong milk flavor. However, after the gold foil is added, it does look much more upscale. Many tourists come here because of its reputation and take pictures before taking a bite. This shop is very famous. The scenery is almost a must-see for tourists. There are two stores. The Higashiyama store is the main store, which is also very famous.
In Kanazawa, the rich's gold is magically transformed into food. How can you not try Hakuichi's ice cream? It's such a rich thing to do! Actually, it's OK, 891 yen, it's totally affordable, but I can't taste the gold foil. My mouth is full of milky flavor, and the gold powder on my lips is so stupid that I don't want to wipe it off.
