A Japanese staple is returning in an even more satisfying size. Starting February 24, 2026, Akagi Nyugyo will release “Noir Cookie & Cream” across Japan. This product is a special collaboration ice cream featuring Yamazaki Biscuit’s “Noir” cocoa cookies, which are widely loved in Japan.

The Long-Awaited Third Installment! Now Available at Stores Across Japan

This collaboration marks its third release since debuting in 2024. Due to its high quality, it has caused a stir every time. While the 2025 version was limited to Japanese konbini (convenience stores), the 2026 release will see a significant expansion in distribution. It will be available in more accessible locations, such as supermarkets and drugstores throughout the country.

More Satisfying! Upgraded Ice Cream Size

The most significant feature of this major renewal is the increase in the size of the ice cream itself. The manufacturer, Akagi Nyugyo, successfully boosted the volume while maintaining the flavor balance to meet the expectations of fans who wanted “more to eat.”

The reason for the size increase was to ensure high satisfaction from the very first bite to the last. The weight in your hand and the overwhelming volume in your mouth are true testaments to its evolution.

The Luxurious Taste of “Noir” Powered by Japanese Craftsmanship

The combination of ingredients in this ice cream is meticulously calculated.

The components are as follows:

  • The base uses a rich and creamy vanilla ice cream.
  • It is packed with crunchy cocoa cookies, the signature feature of “Noir.”
  • The entire bar is finished with a thick chocolate coating.

The sweetness of the vanilla blends with the slight bitterness of the cookies, and the outer chocolate seals in the flavor, creating a harmonious, multi-layered experience.
