House-made purple sweet potato Montblanc cream, chewy shiratama, and crisp sweet potato chips, all on Hokkaido-original soft serve — here's a closer look at this indulgent, wagashi-inspired cup.
The appeal of Purple Sweet Potato Montblanc begins with the rich purple sweet potato aroma that fills your mouth from the very first bite. Smooth Montblanc cream carries the natural sweetness and deep flavor of the purple sweet potato, and paired with the milky soft serve, that flavor becomes gentler and even more balanced.
It's a not-too-sweet flavor with a real sense of refinement, popular with wagashi fans and anyone craving something naturally sweet and comforting.
What sets this apart is that the purple sweet potato Montblanc cream is prepared entirely in-house, by hand.
Making it from scratch at the shop gives the cream a smooth texture and lets the full flavor of the sweet potato really come through — something a store-bought product simply can't match. That handmade quality is a real point of pride, and it's part of what makes this Montblanc cream feel genuinely special.
Purple Sweet Potato Montblanc also includes chewy shiratama dumplings.
The smooth purple sweet potato cream, melting soft serve, and springy shiratama come together for a cup with genuine textural variety, letting you enjoy several different sensations in a single bite. This wagashi-inspired satisfaction, layered on top of the lightness of ice cream, is exactly what makes it such a well-rounded, indulgent treat.
The finishing touch is a topping of crisp sweet potato chips.
Their light, crunchy texture adds a pleasant contrast against the smooth purple sweet potato cream, and their presence also makes the whole cup more colorful and fun to look at. That kind of attention to every detail is exactly what gives Purple Sweet Potato Montblanc its character.
The base soft serve is made from a "21:00 Ice" original mix, produced at a farm in Hokkaido. It carries real richness from the Hokkaido milk, but finishes clean and light — a recipe developed specifically to keep the rich purple sweet potato Montblanc from ever feeling too heavy, even late at night.
