Das gibt es nur in Japan: Eis am Stiel Katana... okay, okay, ist eher ein Wakizashi. Trotzdem cool!

Students from Seki’s High School of Commerce and Industry came up with the idea for the katana ice cream, and several local businesses took part in the movement to turn the idea into reality, which is now being sold as “Seki’s newest specialty”. The city has a long history of producing Japanese swords and cutlery, so the katana-shaped ice cream is the perfect sweet to represent Seki’s history and culture. Real local swordsmiths even took part in overseeing the production.

Called “Nihonto Aisu” (Japanese sword ice cream) in Japanese, the stick is designed to look like the hilt of a katana, with a cookie added as an edible brim. The ice cream blades come in two different flavors – yuzu citrus, and koshian red bean paste – made by a local, long-standing confectioner. The ice cream also contains kuzu (Japanese arrowroot) starch, which helps keep it from melting, making it possible to play with your food for a bit before eating.
