A hot topic on social media! Honey soft serve ice cream
[Akibachi-san]

Honey soft serve ice cream

The rich milk soft serve ice cream is arranged like a petal and topped with rare honey from Akihabara. It has a refined sweetness that is not too heavy and a smooth texture.

Although it only opened in May this year, it quickly became a hot topic on X (formerly Twitter). The cake starts to melt the moment you receive it, so we recommend eating it as soon as you take a photo!

There are plenty of tasty reports on X too!

This vending machine dispenses ice cream instead of drinks. This unique vending machine is located about a one-minute walk along the train tracks from the north exit of Akihabara Station's Electric Town. Look for the "Mitsuwa Denki" sign.
