Anyone up for eggplant ice cream?

The city of Aki is Japan's top producer of spring and winter eggplant, and at Aki Group Farm's shop you can try this local product in their award-winning grilled eggplant ice cream. The vegetables are carefully roasted over charcoal, so the ice cream has a totally unique smoky, creamy flavor.

Not a fan of eggplant? You can try their aonori seaweed and Muroto deep seawater flavor, or choose ice cream made from locally grown pumpkin, Tosa ginger, yuzu, sweet potato and more!

Aki is also known for the Doi Katchu samurai residences and field clock, so treat yourself to this only-in-Kochi treat after exploring: https://visitkochijapan.com/en/see-and-do/10006
