Green Tea, Sakura, Chocolate Vanilla Mochi Ice Cream @ Bubbies, Honolulu, Hawaii
Sakura Mochi Ice Cream- 3-stars- It has been a while since I've eaten real Cherry Blossoms (Sakura), but I am left to assume the ice cream version tastes like flavor-less, yet creamy basic ice cream, with not even the charm of vanilla. The pink color was pretty, but I would have purred for Black Cherry instead.
Chocolate Vanilla Mochi Ice Cream- 3 1/2-stars- My step up from the Sakura seems to be the chocolate mochi covering a ball of vanilla ice cream. Mochi ice cream is a bar to set and maintain, and this does show how far you can go with introductory flavors.
Green Tea Mochi Ice Cream- 4-stars- Finally something memorable. I had recently been salivating with a cup of rich green tea ice cream, by another vendor, and biting into this reminded me of that rich, creamy texture. A little harder from the cold temperature than a gelato, it was nonetheless well-flavored with more than just hokey green tea, possessing some of the essence that give green tea depth. A very nice mochi ball.
