Sitting near Tofuku-ji Temple, Hana Ice is known for its very unique flavor of ice cream, white miso. Why does Hana Ice serve this rare flavor of soft serve you ask? It’s because the shopkeeper, Mrs. Hana, was moved by the taste of the white miso she tried in Kyoto. All the soft serve sold at Hana Ice is made by Mrs. Hana herself, and as you can probably guess, she takes her soft serve very seriously. Hana Ice is not only popular with tourists but locals too. This is because Mrs. Hana approaches each new customer like a new friend, and also because of her positive and affectionate personality. We hope that trying Mrs. Hana’s uncompromising soft serve will be an unforgettable memory of your trip to Kyoto.
