Hana Ice is right next to Tofuku-ji Temple. You can eat a not oft-seen flavor of soft serve here, white miso. Why does Hana Ice serve this rare flavor of soft serve? It’s because the shopkeeper, Mrs. Hana, was moved by the taste of 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 among tourists, but it’s also popular among the locals. This is because Mrs. Hana approaches each new customer like a new friend, and also because of her positive and affectionate personality. I wish that eating Mrs. Hana’s uncompromising soft serve will become an unforgettable memory of your trip to Kyoto.
