Another can’t-miss sweet treat is arriving from Japanese convenience stores. From the long-beloved classic bite-sized ice cream “Pino” series, “Pino Rich Tiramisu” will be released in limited quantities at convenience stores all across Japan starting Tuesday, November 25th.
“Pino” is a long-selling brand that has been cherished across generations since its launch in 1976. The exquisite combination of smooth ice cream and melt-in-your-mouth chocolate is simply perfect, and the brand will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2025. Ahead of this memorable milestone, a new flavor pursuing the taste of an authentic dessert is being delivered.
Just Like a Dessert from Italy! The Secret to its Rich Flavor
The new “Pino Rich Tiramisu,” as its name suggests, is a treat that reproduces the flavor of the famous Italian dessert “tiramisu” in a bite-sized ice cream.
The ice cream portion lavishly uses Mascarpone cheese from Hokkaido. This rich and creamy ice cream, with a milk fat content of 9%, is characterized by its distinctively thick and smooth texture. Furthermore, a hint of cocoa flavor is added as a secret ingredient to enhance the deep, complex taste characteristic of tiramisu.
Enveloping the ice cream is an aromatic coffee-flavored chocolate. The richness of the Mascarpone cheese ice cream and the slight bitterness of the coffee chocolate melt together in your mouth, creating a deeply satisfying flavor truly worthy of being called a “single bite of bliss.”
The Developer’s Dedication: The Taste of Italy in a Single Bite
This authentic flavor was not born by chance. The development team reportedly traveled throughout various regions of Italy, thoroughly researching the taste of authentic tiramisu before perfecting this recipe. Their passion is condensed into this tiny bite.
