Imagine my childlike glee when I open up Minamiboso's tourism information portal for the first time in the new year to find that Hina-no-Sato has come up with a new ice cream flavor-of-the-month, and boy is she a doozy.
This month's flavor features miso, handmade in Miyoshi, blended with vanilla ice cream. For those of you who don't know what miso is, it's a fermented soybean paste used as the basis of soups and sauces. It's salty, a little sweet, and has a lot of that umami 5th flavor that gourmands always talk about.
The flyer says "tsubu-tsubu" which means "pulpy" or "with bits", so I'm guessing there will be tiny fermented soybean flecks in the ice cream. It sounds crazy, but after the ecstasy of trying Pocky's Milk Chocolate Salty ( thanks Nyanko-Sensei!) I HAVE TO go and try this. Who's with me?
