As a big fan of the Tatsu-Ya restaurants such as Tiki Tatsu-Ya and Ramen Tasu-Ya, I was excited to hear they also have their own ice cream spot: dipdipdip Ice Cream.
They have a few interesting options to choose from and I ultimately got their:
- Sum Yum Yuzu: black pepper-yuzu mascarpone ice cream topped with meringue "kisses", strawberry sauce, shiso leaves, and a pink lemon dipped cone - $7.50
- Matcha Cha-Cha: matcha green tea ice cream topped with sweet black soybeans, red bean sauce, whipped crème fraîche, and a matcha dipped cone - $7.50
Both of these are unique because they utilize various ingredients to give these ice creams more depth of flavor. However, I couldn't help but feel there was more to be desired. As I'd take each bite, I kept hoping for rich, flavorful ice cream, but it never quite got there. It had just enough flavor to be decent enough, but the contrast of the different flavors just didn't work that well to my liking. In the end, I wasn't very enthusiastic with each continuing bite, so I didn't finish these.
In conclusion, I respect what they're doing here by offering something different that you won't really find elsewhere and I'm glad I got to try them out. Although I didn't really have a bad experience, I didn't have a good one either especially when these cost $7.50 each. With that said, I give them a 2.5/5 for being "okay".
