Yummy vegan options

The matcha/mixed vegan ice cream was actually SO good. It was far better than expected and conveniently located close to the Hiroshima Art Museum!

Amazing matcha ice cream

I loved the matcha ice cream, the matcha flavour was strong. I also tried an espresso lemon soda and was pleasantly surprised, it was really nice. Allergens are clearly listed on the menu.

Solid, but pricey

Vegan rice-based soft serve ice cream located inside the Orizuru Tower.

They have classic, matcha and mixed soft serve ice cream. They also had drinks and coffee's.

We tried the mixed soft serve ice cream. It was solid. The classic ice cream was light, with a touch of vanilla. The matcha ice cream tasted like, well, matcha. Kinda grassy but not to bitter. Probably only lightly sweetened.

It's kinda pricey in my opinion with 650¥. But it's good to know that there's vegan ice cream you could get after visiting the Hiroshima A-Bomb Memorial just 7 minutes by foot.

Would recommend.

Pros: (Small) choice

Cons: Pricey

Mr Whippy and puffed rice!

This is conveniently located next to the Peace Park. It is a rice based soft serve ice-cream in either Matcha or plain and served in a tub with puffed rice in the bottom, which gives some nice texture. There are options with honey, but it is clear to see from the menu which ones these are.

Pros: Vegan ice cream on a hot day, Clearly marked, Friendly staff

Cons: Not completely vegan

Vegan ice cream

Good vegan ice cream! I took the mix option- I think the matcha flavor was a bit bitter so I recommend the original flavor more.

Pros: Vegan ice cream , Central

Cons: Do more options

Yummy matcha ice cream

There aren't many vegan options, but the matcha ice cream with puffed rice is well worth the detour.

Vegan matcha rice-based soft serve!

Everything that is vegan is clearly marked on the menu, only exceptions are a few things that use honey.
I tried the 2 flavour soft serve which was delicious! The layer of rice puffs with the soft serve was a nice touch.
There's no seating, it's just a place to takeaway.

Pros: Yummy soft serve

Cons: No seating

Matcha soft-serve

All flavours were sold out, except the matcha so my choice was made. I’ve never had matcha before, but I don’t like it at all. Its to bitter. I don’t get the matcha hype. 😅

Yum! Vegan matcha soft-serve ice cream

In the mall next to the atomic bomb memorial is a little ice cream to go shop.

The soft-serve matcha is super yummy and comes with little rice puffs 🍦🍵🤤.

Just perfect on a hot day.

Delicious vegan soft-serve

Take-out only concession on the first (ground) floor of the Orizuru centre. We had the mixed flavour soft serve, it comes with puffed rice which was cool! Also tried their mint lemon soda which was delicious. Enjoyed in the park opposite.

Nice place for a drink or a vegan ice cream

RkWe came by here as they had no happy cow reviews and we wanted to help them out with the first one. There was a good selection of drinks and all products were marked with allergens and things that could make them not honey (for example some of the toppings for the ice cream were marked with contains honey). They clearly labeled products as vegan. The reason for the lack of 5 stars is that there is no seating so you have to sit outside and in the summer... that can be an issue. Also on the day of visiting they had sold out of almost all of their ice cream flavours. They only had macha left which is quite an acquired taste. Both drinks were lovely a ginger and lemon and a spicy ginger. The macha ice cream was nice but I'm not the biggest macha fan so would have preferred another flavour. Definitely worth a visit if you need to cool down after visiting peace memorial park.

Pros: Clear labeling, Good options, Nice products

Cons: No seating, Sold out of most ice cream flavours
