Häagen-Dazs Japan lifts the lid on new Japanese Chestnut, Pumpkin, Sweet Potato treats

The folks at Häagen-Dazs Japan clearly know they’re onto a good thing with their special-edition ice creams, and there seems to be no stopping their creativity. With Japonais, Rose and Sakura, and even Vegetable flavors all appearing within the last six months alone, there’s seemingly always something sweet on the horizon. And now, before summer has even had a chance to break in its beach sandals, the ice cream giant has unveiled three decidedly autumnal flavors.

They may be arriving little early in the year, but it’s hard to make fun of a company that keeps on delivering in the taste department, and we have to admit that Häagen-Dazs new offerings do sound rather appealing.

From August 8, ice cream fans will be able to pick up a mini cup of new Waguri (Japanese Chestnut) ice cream, along with a deliciously mauve Sweet Potato Crispy Sandwich.

A month later on September 8, the limited-edition Pumpkin ice cream will go on sale. All three have a suggested retail price of 263 yen excluding tax, which seems about right for products carrying Häagen-Dazs’s exotic European (although ultimately made up) name.

I liked the sakura one, it was really refreshing and not too sweet. I bet the kuri is lovely. Very odd timing though!

I'm thinking I would love the pumpkin and sweet potato flavors.

Wow, I am so jealous! We always have the same old boring flavors here in New Jersey.

But you can get much nicer icecream in the US, Yogi, don't worry I have made a very detailed comparison. Promise. You are not missing out! You could probably recreate the sakura one at home if you had sakura flavoring, and cherry icecream!
