The other day, Nyanko-sensei and I stopped by Shiokaze Ohkoku (Chikura's Michi-no-Eki) for some chestnut ice cream!
この間、にゃんこ先生と潮風王国にモンブランアイスを食べに行ってきました！

Nyanko-senei told me that they have really great seasonal ice cream (according to the manager, they change the flavor every 2 months or so), and that the beginning of all is always chestnut flavor, which is his favorite. I had never tasted a chestnut before I came to Japan, but it's one of the staple fall flavors (kind of like pumpkin flavor for the US) so it's EVERYWHERE and it's actually pretty good.
潮風王国の季節アイスは本当に美味しいと言うこと、にゃんこ先生が教えてくれました。（マネージャーによると、２ヶ月一回ぐらいのペースでその季節アイスの味を変える）。初秋はいつもマロン味でにゃんこ先生の一番好きな味みたいです。日本に住む前に一度もマロンを食べたことはなかったけど、マロンは日本で秋の定番の味の一つ （アメリカのパンプキン味のよう）ですから、どこに行ってもあるし（まぁ、とにかくそんなきがする）、結構美味しいと思います。
So, I asked Nyanko-sensei if I could come along on a errand over to Shiokaze Ohkoku.
ということで、にゃんこ先生が潮風王国に用事に出かけた時、連れて行って貰いました。

Long story short, this ice cream is really really good! My stomach doesn't handle things that are super sweet or strongly flavored, so I was a bit apprehensive because Mont Blanc (a French chestnut and cream dessert) flavored things tend to be BOTH, but this had both a delicate sweetness and a delicate chestnut flavor that I found just right.
手短かに言えば、このアイスは本当に美味しい！ とても甘いものととても味の濃いものは私のお腹を壊してしまうし、モンブラン味のものはよく甘くて濃いですから、正直、ちょっと不安だったけど、このアイスの繊細な甘みと風味は私にとって丁度いいです。
It's the kind of sweet that you can eat all day, but I found myself savoring it so slowly that it started melting in my hand and I had to gobble it down, lol.
いくら食べてもあまり飽きないようなスイーツだけど、私がゆっくり味わいすぎていたか、どろーんと手で溶け始めて、最終的に食い荒らしたかもしれません、笑。
Anyway, I definitely recommend this! Definitely stop by and get a cone... You might see me there when you go, lol.
是非おすすめです！食べてみて下さいね〜
