Golden ice cream

Posted on April 24, 2025 by Ella

What I didn’t know (thanks for the tip David) is that Kanazawa is noted for gold leaf production.  

Want to try your hand? For a price you can apply a sheet of gold leaf to a trinket and take home your handiwork. Or have a soft serve ice cream with a strip of edible gold leaf attached. Totally tasteless but I guess that’s not the point.

I went for the gimmick. Edible gold leaf ice cream

    It’s pretty but I might prefer a chocolate shell.

    Does it break up into little pieces or kind of dissolve. I.e., crunchy or soft?

      So soft and thin you can’t really distinguish it from the ice cream. Just kind of melts in as you eat it.
