Weird Japanese Ice Cream Flavours
Ice cream is also a popular dessert in Japan, according to a 2007 survey, with almost two in five adults consuming it at least once a week. Many Japanese regions attempt to cash in on local delicacies by producing ice creams that incorporate their tastes. Following is a list of ten weird Japanese ice cream flavours.
1. Chicken Wing Ice Cream 「手羽先アイス」
This foul tasting ice cream is a regional specialty of Nagoya, famous for its poultry. Don’t be chicken, give it a go.
2. Whale Ice Cream 「鯨アイス」
Scientific evidence collected by Japan’s Whale Research Program can be consumed as ice cream helping to wash down your well-researched whale burger.
3. Beef Tongue Ice Cream 「牛たんアイス」
More than just the tip of the tongue, beef tongue ice cream from Miyagi Prefecture is one of the most popular varieties. It can’t be licked.
4. Squid Ice Cream 「いかアイス」
5. Horse Sashimi Ice Cream 「馬刺しアイス」
6. Pit Viper Snake Ice Cream 「まむしアイス」
Now you can enjoy one of Japan’s most venomous snakes in an ice cream

And i thought the Americans were weird with their peanut butter flavours!
what types they got?
Can`t remember all of them but weird combinations like peanut butter marshmellow, peanut butter brittle. Here is a list of some other weird American varieties

umm wtf? peanut actually goes good with ice crea! what ice cream do you eat??
Peanuts is a tricky subject in my family…my grandmother died because of a peanut related accident. All i wanna say is be careful when you`re feeding elephants peanuts at Thailand
I thought that your grandmother loved peanuts because they are rich in L-arginine, which causes vasodilatation in blood vessels, stimulating sexual performance and increased erection firmness.
So that’s why you’re constantly feeding her peanuts! Keeping her active anyway – thanks!!
I want to forget that I ever read this post… I never thought that I’d think to myself that perhaps Whale Icecream wouldn’t be the worst thing to eat…. when compared however with Horse Sashimi Icecream…. Please delete it from my memory! Wrong, wrong, wrong.
For me, this would be a very good reason not to go to any of these regions… Brrrrrrr….. errrrrr… ghhhhhh
At least they were flavoured after the people in their regions… Hmmmm Soylent Green Ice Cream.
I’m totally torn between: “oh those Japanese, they did it again!” and “I totally want to try all of them!!!”
I would have them a go, at least once if I can. XD
Nobody finds it strange that the ‘Indian curry ice cream’ is seemingly the most ‘normal’ of all the flavours?
Anyway I was half expecting to see a semi-boring list of “green tea” and “black bean” flavours on this post… but all 10 of them blew my mind. Great post!
@Mark: I guess it all depends where you’re from and what you’re used to. Personally, I find Indian Curry ice-cream to be very weird (much weirder than octopus ice-cream or caviar ice-cream). I mean, I almost find Indian Curry quite weird itself, so…
Here’s “balsamic vinegar” ice cream. Lousy cell phone image, sorry:
Somewhere I have a photo of a shop selling ice cream in such standard flavours as:
+ vanilla
+ chocolate
+ shrimp
+ “vegetable”
I’ve got some pics of oddball snacks here. Featuring:
+ Gorilla snot candy:
+ Chocolate coated potato chips (dark and white).
+ Maple syrup potato chips.
+ Salmon cream flavoured potato chips.
Savoury tasting ice cream just sounds wrong! Gorilla snot candy FTW!!
Would you eat shirako (fish cum) ice cream?
does it exist?
I don’t know but what if it did…
Some great ice-cream flavours. If you visit Ice Cream City in Tokyo you can try most of those flavours and more
Japan Australia
Whale ice cream! I’m not happy with that.
Would you eat a Fudgie the Whale ice cream cake?
Disappointingly, neither Fudgie the Whale or Cookie Puss taste anything like seafood.
I’d only eat it if it was sperm whale flavoured.
Japanese are very talented, I salute them
A soldier salute?
The Curry Icecream looks pretty bad!
true dat. kinda looks like a digestive symptom that you’d suffer after consuming curry.
this is so wrong japanese people are weird
