In recent years, more people are eating ice cream even during the cold season, and the term "winter ice cream" has become commonly used. This is the third time the event is being held, and this time we will be featuring a variety of winter ice creams, including rich ice cream that can be enjoyed in a warm room during the cold season, and chocolate flavors. There will also be live sales demonstrations from four brands, including some making their Kobe debut, so please come and enjoy your favorite ice cream in the eat-in space inside the venue. Ice cream critic and Iceman Fukudome, who eats over 1,000 types of ice cream a year, will also be visiting the store every day.
