A newly opened spot on the Gold Coast offers a variety of Japanese mochi ice cream, Japanese rice balls (onigiri), and refreshing beverages! We tried this Shiro last Saturday. It lived up to its reputation, with long queues even at 7 PM.
What we think
The ice cream flavours are very Japanese, including Yuzu & Lemon, Black Sesame, Matcha, Soybean, and Rich Milk.
The process of making mochi ice cream is also fascinating, similar to making dumplings. A layer of mochi wraps around the richly flavoured ice cream, making it definitely worth a try!
Flavours we have tried
Daifuku Mochi (Matcha & Hojicha) AU$8/scoop – The chewy mochi enveloping the rich and slightly bitter matcha is absolutely fantastic! The deep flavour of Hojicha is equally outstanding. Whether you’re a matcha enthusiast or love Hojicha, you can’t afford to miss this.
