★Olive oil milk-based gelato with olive oil mixed in. The refreshing aroma of olive oil and milky sweetness are addictive. Seriously, it's insanely delicious! ★Rosemary Rosemary aroma is intense! The overwhelming presence of rosemary stands out, but that's just about the scent. The taste, also milk-based, maintains its dessert integrity making it easy to enjoy. This kind of craftsmanship can't be imitated by your average gelato shop. ★Asparagus with green tea Among the menu items tried this time, this one piqued the most interest. The collaboration of seasonal asparagus and green tea, a combination you wouldn't normally come across, is exciting. As for the taste, the lively freshness of asparagus takes the spotlight, followed by the refreshing flavor of green tea towards the end. A dish that evokes the taste of fresh greenery. It has a taste that could appear in a French amuse-bouche, leaning more towards a savory dish than a dessert. If a dish of this level were to be served as an amuse-bouche, the restaurant would undoubtedly be top-notch. The certainty of its appeal conveys an impressive deliciousness. Impressions: I was thrilled by the deliciousness to the point of being moved. It's envy-inducing that high-level gelato can be enjoyed in the corner of the Tokyo desert near Yutenji! ★Exquisite ◎ Very delicious ○ Decent △ Hmm... Additional Info: - Offers a wide variety of flavors, from conventional to unique. - A popular spot indeed, with a constant stream of visitors. Thank you for the meal! (^^)!

It is difficult to evaluate the deliciousness of sweets. This is because dishes like ramen, pizza, and Italian food have a variety of flavors, making it easy to determine which taste stands out after just one bite. On the other hand, sweets need to showcase their individuality based on the premise of being "sweet." Amid this difficulty, the ice cream at this shop is so delicious that it can be concluded to be outstanding. The ice cream I ordered is shown in the photo – three flavors: Fresh Milk (which I order every time), Grape, and Apple. The price for these three flavors is under 1000 yen, which is quite reasonable and likable. The Fresh Milk flavor stands out the most in terms of taste because the scent of milk is distinctly present. While it may not be difficult to leave a taste, continuously infusing something with a smell and freezing it can be quite challenging. Think back to frozen ingredients. Both the grape and apple flavors have a fragrant scent of the ingredients that is pleasing to the nose. This is a point that deserves high praise. The ice cream doesn't melt easily, so there's no need to rush while eating it. The shop has seating for about 10 people. During busy times, you might have to eat outside. The waiting time is minimal, and even when it's crowded, you can expect to be served within 30 minutes. The shop's proximity to the train station is also wonderful. It's a place I'd like to visit again.

This restaurant is ranked 1st in the Gelato Eatery Ranking nationwide (with an Eatery Rating of 3.98). Whenever I come to Yutenji, I can't help but stop by in front of this shop and end up going in. Lol. *The Eatery Rating is current as of September 21, 2023. On this day, I wanted to try the delicious autumn flavors I had last year, the Japanese chestnut and corn (Gakekimi), but unfortunately, the corn (Gakekimi) had just finished recently (tears). Last year, I tried the roasted chestnut (premium flavor) of the Japanese chestnut, but the roasted chestnut is scheduled to be released later, so on this day, I went for the usual three-flavor mix with 1) steamed Japanese chestnut (premium flavor), 2) muscat grape, which was also delicious last year, and 3) Japanese pear. The steamed Japanese chestnut (premium flavor) was a gelato that captured the natural deliciousness of steamed chestnuts without the grainy texture of roasted chestnuts, and it was also exquisite~ tears. The muscat grape had a natural sweet and sour taste that spread in the mouth, and I liked the subtle sweetness. When it comes to muscat grape or grape-based gelato, there is often an image of artificial sweetness, but this one really brings out the flavor of muscat grape itself. And the Japanese pear had a refreshing taste of Japanese pear in the gelato, not too sweet, allowing the natural sweetness of Japanese pear to be felt, and it was delicious. By the way, the corn (Gakekimi) gelato, which I couldn't eat that day because the season had ended, was also really delicious, like tasting a delicious cold soup made by squeezing corn into gelato, it was really delicious. It's a shame that I missed it this year, but I plan to check the official Instagram frequently and come early next year to try it. (The gelato at this shop changes flavors depending on the season, so besides some staple flavors, they may not always be available, which is both sad and fun. Lol) Also, I have tried various seasonal flavors of gelato at this shop in the past, and what I always think is that they are all made with great care and attention to ingredients and methods, which is evident in the gelato. Initially, the prices may seem a bit high, but I think the taste is worth it once you try it. Oh, the gelato at this shop is really delicious, as I thought again on this day. I felt happy with the delicious gelato on this day. It was delicious! Thank you for the meal. I will visit again soon. I also want to try the soft-serve ice cream available only on weekends and holidays that I have been wanting to try for a long time. In addition, the owner, Mr. Mogaki, is friendly and very nice, and the staff at the shop are all kind and pleasant, so you can enjoy delicious gelato comfortably. It's a highly recommended shop!

【2023 Ice Gelato Top 100 Stores】Located just a 1-minute walk from Yutenji Station, this shop is famous as the number one gelato shop in Japan on Tabelog. They always have around 20 flavors available, including seasonal gelato, all made in the authentic Italian way, so the choices are plentiful and attractive ✨ The interior of the shop is cute, and you can also dine in. I visited around 2 p.m. on a weekday and easily secured a seat. On this day, I ordered the following: 【3 Premium Flavors for 890 yen】⚫︎ Japanese chestnut ⚫︎ Fresh milk ⚫︎ Pear Each flavor had a natural taste that clearly brought out the flavor of the ingredients. The pear was juicy, the Japanese chestnut had a rich chestnut flavor with a slight fluffy texture, and the milk had a smooth milk taste... all of them were subtly sweet and incredibly delicious ✨ This is an amazing gelato ✨✨ I wonder how delicious the other flavors are... Quality that makes you curious. It was delicious ✨ Thank you for the meal ✨ I will come again ⭐️⭐️⭐️

Continuously dominating the top spot nationwide on Tabelog for gelato. When it comes to gourmet in Yutenji, this is the place. A popular spot where customers keep coming even late at night. Finally found a seat after a long time and used the eat-in option. Pistachio, ground cherry, and Japanese chestnut trio - the smoothness... The concept of gelato was once again overturned with such an impact. Rich flavor yet elegant texture. Pistachio is a must-try. Surprised by the chestnut flavor of Japanese chestnut, it exceeded expectations. The acidity accent of ground cherry was a nice touch. Still haven't tried the milk gelato recommended by the shop every time... LOL Will visit again!

I always had bad timing and couldn't come, but I finally made it. Luckily, there were only two people in line, so I was able to buy quickly. The interior of the restaurant was dark, and I couldn't see well due to my presbyopia, so I asked the staff for a single serving of vegan pistachio... it cost 840 yen including tax. The eat-in area inside the restaurant was lively with young people, and even while waiting, young people kept coming one after another! I couldn't keep up with the hustle and bustle haha. It was really delicious, but the price was a bit high. Thank you for the meal.

I revisited Gelateria Aquolina. Many people here boast that it is the most delicious in Japan, and when I ask those people which flavor is the best, they always say "all of them." When I ask which month or at least which season is the best time to go, they say summer. When I ask how many times they have been there... they order Summer Asparagus, Takemi Mountain, and Fig, which symbolize the transitional period. Among these three, there is a clear difference in personal evaluation. I answer questions individually for my Instagram followers.

I came here to try the gelato after enjoying the gelato at Cincherita in Asagaya. It's located right after exiting the Kichijoji station. The interior is small and a bit crowded around 2 pm. They offer 3 flavors for ¥800, with pistachio being an extra ¥120. We ordered pistachio, fig (not white fig), olive oil set, and grape, pear, Earl Grey set for two people. The pistachio flavor had small pistachio bits incorporated, giving it a rich taste. The fig flavor had a very strong fig juice taste. Unlike the one in Asagaya with fig seeds for a chewy texture, this one didn't have them, which was a bit disappointing. The olive oil flavor was slightly tangy and rich, more like ice cream in texture than gelato. It was the most surprising and favorite flavor among the three. The grape tasted like concentrated grape juice in gelato form. The pear had a similar taste, like pear juice in gelato. The Earl Grey flavor was like milk tea ice cream. They have various flavors, but it's inconvenient that there's no menu to choose from.

Summer asparagus and corn for 720 yen. This week's special, "Hojicha" soft serve for 680 yen. Both the summer asparagus and corn, despite being vegetables, have a sweetness that makes them incredibly delicious. Aquolina's vegetable gelato never fails to impress me. It's creamy with a hint of milk. The hojicha soft serve has a strong bitterness but is still smooth and tasty.

Hojicha Soft Serve for 690 yen at Ueno-ji Temple. Before the usual Lemon Sour gathering. Usually I have gelato, but today let's have soft serve. Couldn't resist the limited edition weekend gelato soft serve. Arrived at 4:28 PM, almost full inside. Waited in line, but service was quick. Always had it in a cup, so the crispy cone was the best. Enjoyed it~ Now, onto the drinking party. Used for takeout on September 9, 2023. Rating: 3.99

Just a minute away from Yutenji Station on the Toyoko Line. During the day, there are constantly customers coming in. The interior is not very spacious, so it's often crowded. Chocolate is a classic choice. I opted for the seasonal limited edition flavor of white fig and Marsala wine. It was a refreshing and new taste that I've never had before. I want to try it again, but I probably won't have a chance next time. Looking forward to the next seasonal limited edition flavor. I'll try going back when autumn comes around again.

Today is another treat for myself. Since I had some errands at Kyutenji, I decided to come here as an excuse for working hard today. Luckily, it wasn't crowded and I could order right away. I wanted to try various flavors rather than just one for 660 yen, but the set of three for 800 yen seemed a bit expensive. So, I chose the set of two for 720 yen. There were so many options. What should I choose? For fruit flavors, plum, ground cherry, and Japanese pear all seemed good, but I went with fig. For cream flavors, I chose hazelnut. There were also options like asparagus, corn, and olive. Now, as for the taste, the fig was rich and moist with a strong fig flavor. The hazelnut was intense with its hazelnut taste. The heat disappeared, and I enjoyed it. This area has a strong gravitational pull, it's dangerous. I feel like I'll want to come back again...

Visited on September 6, 2023. Located just a minute's walk from Yukemuri Temple Station West Exit, it has a truly prime location right in front of the station. The instructions on how to order are detailed at the storefront. First, you choose 2 or 3 types and sizes at the register on the right and pay. Then you order the flavors. ◆ Normal 2 flavors mix 720 yen. I chose pistachio and pear flavors. Pear was recommended for the day at the store. Pistachio cost an additional 120 yen. The interior is not spacious, but there are several round tables available, albeit a bit small. The gelato was a very fragrant dessert that allowed you to directly feel the fruit in both flavors. It must be amazing to bring out such a fruity taste. It was delicious.

I went around tasting ice cream and gelato from top 100 shops. I visited this shop where I had a delicious memory from before. The shop is located right near Yukemuri Temple Station. The small interior has several table seats where you can sit and eat. It was crowded with customers as it was snack time. I ordered the Normal 2-flavor cup for 720 yen - Nocholla and Fig gelato. The Nocholla gelato was rich and creamy, with a smooth melt-in-your-mouth texture. It was cool and refreshing. Nocholla means hazelnut in Italian. It had a luxurious flavor and depth. The Fig gelato had a fresh taste as if you were biting into a whole fruit. It was delicious with a good level of sweetness. This gelato had a lot of fruit flavors. With its rich taste and satisfying sweetness, it was a delightful experience.

Sunday. I arrived 5 minutes before the 1:00 opening time. There were already 2 groups of customers ahead of me. More customers continued to line up. After the opening, I first paid at the cash register and chose 3 items. It cost 800 yen including tax. On that day, there was an additional charge for pistachio, but I chose the following 3 flavors: Corn Milk Chocolate, Lavender, and Keemun (Chinese black tea). I wanted to try the asparagus flavor as well, but when I saw "Hokkaido-produced," being a Hokkaido native, I decided to keep my distance. (I'm the type who thinks it's okay not to eat local food when traveling! lol) I secured a standing space by the window for taking photos. After trying them, I truly felt that it was worth the 800 yen! Each flavor was distinct and they were all really delicious! (I lack the vocabulary to express this deliciousness...) Thank you for the meal! (Looking back at the pictures, I noticed I left the spoon standing, which is a big no-no... I apologize for that.)

Three flavors: milk, pistachio, and chocolate. When you taste the milk, it makes you go "wow." The pistachio flavor makes you go "oh!" lightly, and the chocolate flavor makes you hum in a low tone, "ohh." The flavors of the ingredients are rich, and it's like a well-composed dish in the form of gelato. It's really delicious. I want to move to Yuutenji. Thank you very much. It was a feast.

Gelateria in Yutenji, Meguro-ku. They offer around 20 flavors at a time from over 300 gelato recipes. The shop is run by gelato artisan Ayasuke Mogaki. Mogaki was captivated by the deliciousness of gelato while honing his skills as a chef in Italy and opened this shop in 2012. Open on weekends and holidays from 13:00 to 20:00, and on Wednesdays, Thursdays, and Fridays from 13:00 to 22:00, making it a great option for dessert after dinner. Located just a 30-second walk from Yutenji Station West Exit on the Tokyu Toyoko Line. The interior is beautifully designed and there are several chairs along the walls. It's a popular spot, but if you time it right, you can sit down and savor the delicious gelato. There are three sizes of gelato: ・ Small single scoop ... 660 yen ・ Normal double scoop ... 720 yen ・ Normal triple scoop ... 800 yen ※(premium flavors are priced separately) The process is to first choose the size and pay, then select the flavors. == Normal double scoop == ❤︎【Nocciola】Flavor of Piedmont hazelnuts. The rich taste of hazelnuts rivals the high-end gelato from Kamakura's Il Brigante (over 2,000 yen). ❤︎【Apricot, Mint】Combination of natural apricot and mint. Refreshing and invigorating.

After having ramen with breakbeats, I recommend waiting in line in front of this shop before it opens at 1 pm. I tried the double serving of pear and corn, and it was a great choice. Both were incredibly delicious, and the rating went up. The two-item combo costs 720 yen (additional charge for premium items). It can get crowded, so you might not find a seat, but it's nice to be able to eat calmly inside the restaurant.

This is the best gelato shop I have ever been to, hands down. They offer a wide variety of gelato flavors, from classic ones to those made with seasonal fruits. This time, I chose Shine Muscat and Milk Chocolate Lavender. The Shine Muscat gelato had a refreshing taste as if I were eating the actual fruit, and the aroma was heavenly. The Milk Chocolate was rich and creamy, with a gentle lavender fragrance that paired perfectly with the decadent sweetness of the chocolate. It was truly a blissful flavor experience.

Visited Namihei. The Mango Yogurt Soft Serve costs 730 yen (tax included) and is popular, so the place was crowded. It's a bit pricey but delicious, meow (^o^)♪ The showcase only has menu tags, you have to check Instagram for pictures. Well, next time I'll slowly conquer the flavors with this tongue, lol. Payment with Suica.

I visited because it's like a top-ranked shop. I got a premium with three flavors and added muscat. It was for takeout at ¥890. A bit pricey, but the muscat was delicious! The shop is right near the station, within 1 minute. Eating in also seems great. There were a few small tables, and the atmosphere seemed calm for eating. You choose your gelato after paying the bill. As soon as I entered the shop, a smile spread across my face. I felt that kind of vibe. I thought this was a really good shop. Just like Disneyland stands out among amusement parks, this gelato shop stands out among others. It's amazing.
