Belgian Chocolate Soft Serve at Mini Stop Convenience Store - New Year's Japan Travel Day 4

My husband and I traveled Japan during this New Year's holidays. As I mentioned in my previous entry, we went to Senso-ji (浅草寺), an ancient Buddhist temple located in Asakusa, Tokyo. Then, we decided to go to Tokyo Skytree. On our way to Tokyo Skytree, we found that there was Mini Stop convenience store.

When we lived in Japan, we loved Mini Stop's soft serve. That's why we decided to purchase one. :)

We ordered Belgian Chocolate Soft Serve (ベルギーチョコソフト), which was limited-time soft serve. It tasted so good! :))) By the way, it was 220 yen.

If you would like to have Mini Stop Soft Serve, you can order one at cashier. In Tokyo, many convenience stores have hired immigrants these years, so I believe that most of them are bilingual or trilingual. Convenience stores' cashiers in Tokyo might be able to speak English a little (Most Japanese people don't speak English.), but if you wan to order soft serve in Japanese at Mini Stop, you can say, "Soft cream wo kudasai. (ソフトクリームをください。)" Soft serve is called "soft cream" in Japanese. Then, the cashier will ask you about flavors. Now, there are two flavors, vanilla and Strawberry, you can choose from. You can tell the cashier, "Vanilla (バニラ)," or "Strawberry (ストロベリー)."

Strawberry one is limited-time soft serve. It is made of Amao strawberries. Amao is one of famous breeds of strawberries produced in Fukuoka prefecture.
