The Best Ice Cream in Seattle | Eater Seattle

"This Japanese-style dessert window is attached to the popular izakaya Tamari Bar, and dishes soft serve alongside fruit sandos on Fuji Bakery milk bread and other rotating sweets. The soft serve comes in one flavor, vanilla, which you can enliven with an assortment of syrups and toppings. The 21-plus Toki whiskey syrup is particularly memorable, the slight smoky burn of the booze softened to a pleasant caramel buzz by the velvety sweet base. Bits of rusk — a twice-baked cookie reminiscent of a graham cracker — add satisfying crunch. The sundaes are elaborate, slightly intimidating affairs packed with custards, jellies, sauces, and powders, but they’re ideal for a group of two to four." - Sophie Grossman
