Essel Super Cup (Japanese ice cream)

Essel Super Cup : エッセル　スーパーカップ

Today I'm going to introduce you to ice cream for the first time.
There are many delicious and unique ice creams in Japan. Among them, I will introduce some orthodox and popular ice creams that are sold everywhere.

Here it is. It is the Essel Super Cup series. ESSEL is a coined word that combines excellent and essential.
It is the most popular and well-known ice cream in a cup. It comes in a variety of flavors.
My favorite is the chocolate cookie flavor. Can you imagine what it tastes like? Perhaps. But I think there is something uniquely Japanese about its universal taste, so please try it.

Packaging

The lid of the Super Cup container shows the contents of each, making it easy to find the flavor you prefer.
The flavors usually sold are Vanilla, Green Tea, and Chocolate Cookie. There are also limited time only flavors that are sold seasonally, as well as high-end lines.

The Super Cup is about this big. It is one of the larger ice cream cups sold in Japan. And they are very inexpensive.
Most Japanese ice cream in such cups are made with good ingredients and have a rich flavor, but Super Cup has a different direction. It has a light flavor and is easy to eat. It is a little too much for a treat for myself, but it is an everyday snack. This lightness is good😉

Open the outer lid and you will also find the inner lid. Inside I found a recipe for chocolate truffles made with Super Cup. I'm curious about that too, but today I want to try it as is!

Flavor

Ta-da! I'm so happy to see the container full of ice cream!

It's time to take that first bite. When eating a cup of ice cream, this moment is bliss.

Yummmy!😍

The texture of Super Cup is soft and melts easily. The melted part looks like whipped cream, which is delicious.
It is hard to tell from the appearance, but finely crushed cocoa cookies are mixed into the chocolate ice cream. It tastes bitter, so maybe the cocoa cookies have melted into the ice cream.
As you eat more and reach deeper, more cocoa cookies are added. These seem to sink in.

The amount is so large that I am happy to eat a lot of it. If it were not as light as the Super Cup, I might get bored and have a hard time eating this amount of ice cream... No, that can't be true. Eventually I would eat it up😂

Every Japanese knows this Essel Super Cup, and you should try it, too. Let's yum yum😋
