Looking for a wagashi-style sweet near Chiba-Chūō Station? "Sweet Potato Brûlée" at 21:00 Ice Chiba-Chūō Ekimae is a flavor worth trying.

As a dedicated late-night ice cream shop open from 2:00 p.m. to 11:30 p.m., 21:00 Ice is a favorite stop after work, after school, on dates, at girls'-night-outs, and as a nightcap after drinks. Among all its flavors, Sweet Potato Brûlée stands out for combining the natural sweetness of real sweet potato with the fragrant, toasty crunch of a torched sugar top, a genuinely popular wagashi-inspired treat.

Made with beniazuma sweet potato, known for its strong sweetness and fluffy texture, and topped with sweet potato chips, shiratama, and sesame — here's a closer look at this indulgent, wagashi-style cup.

A treat for sweet potato lovers

The appeal of Sweet Potato Brûlée is in how fully it lets you enjoy the natural sweetness of real sweet potato. The shop uses beniazuma sweet potato, known for its gentle sweetness and fluffy texture, and it pairs beautifully with the soft serve, creating a taste reminiscent of enjoying roasted sweet potato and ice cream together, in one indulgent bite.

It's a natural choice for anyone who says "I love sweet potato sweets" or "I'm in the mood for something wagashi-style" — a genuinely popular menu item.

Finished with a torched, brûlée-style top

As the name suggests, the star of this cup is the sweet potato, carefully torched with sugar on top.

The surface is torched with real care, creating a crisp, caramelized crust that brings out the sweetness of the potato underneath even more. Taking a bite, you first get the fragrant crunch of the caramelized top, followed by the fluffy sweetness of the beniazuma, and finally the gentle milkiness of the soft serve — a cup with a genuine sense of layered flavor from beginning to end. That distinctive brûlée aroma and crunch is exactly what keeps people coming back for more.

Made with beniazuma sweet potato

Sweet Potato Brûlée is made with beniazuma, a variety prized for its rich sweetness and flavor.

Beniazuma has just the right amount of fluffiness, neither too moist nor too dry, making it ideal for a proper brûlée texture. By making the most of the ingredient's own natural flavor, the shop delivers a genuinely satisfying wagashi treat that sweet-potato fans can enjoy with confidence — a flavor popular year-round, not just in autumn.

Sweet potato chips and shiratama for texture

Sweet Potato Brûlée is also topped with crisp sweet potato chips and chewy shiratama dumplings.

The fragrant chips add a visual accent as well as a textural contrast against the smooth soft serve, while the shiratama's chewy texture adds an extra layer of enjoyment on top of that. This gentle, wagashi-style satisfaction, paired with the lightness of ice cream, keeps the cup interesting to the very last bite.

Finished with fragrant sesame

The finishing touch is a sprinkle of fragrant toasted sesame.

The deep, nutty aroma of the sesame brings out the flavor of the beniazuma and the brûlée top even further, adding real depth to the whole cup. This kind of attention to every detail is exactly what gives Sweet Potato Brûlée its distinctly wagashi-inspired character, right to the final bite.

Made with Hokkaido-original soft serve

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 balance the richness of the sweet potato and the brûlée topping, so it never feels too heavy, even at the end.

A comfortable spot from after-work drinks to solo visits

21:00 Ice Chiba-Chūō Ekimae isn't just about great sweets — the seating is part of the appeal too. The shop has 32 seats in total, 8 of them counter seats, so solo visitors can drop in easily to read, study, or work while they eat.
