Hokkaido milk soft serve with Japanese-inspired toppings
"If the "Got Milk" white-mustachioed celebrity athletes and promises of strong bones and teeth don’t get you extremely hyped to guzzle some liquid calcium, allow us to introduce you to Indigo Cow. It’s a soft serve window in Wallingford that sources its dairy specifically from Hokkaido to make unflavored ice cream. Apparently, these Japanese cows know something the American ones don’t, because the end result is a barely-there sweetness and a refreshing texture that prompts a line to form down the block regardless of the thermostat reading outside. The ice cream is perfect plain, but just as excellent with toppings like Theo’s dark chocolate dip or brown sugar syrup with nutty roasted soybean powder. And if you're a swirl-only person, they'll often have a second flavor like black sesame or matcha." - aimee rizzo, kayla sager riley
"This counter inside of Wallingford izakaya Yoroshiku serves silky soft-serve made with milk from Hokkaido, Japan’s northernmost island famous for its dairy products. The MBR topping combo, which consists of molasses-like brown sugar syrup, tender and chewy mochi balls, and nutty roasted soybean powder (kinako, in Japan) is not to be missed." - Sophie Grossman
