Calbee Plus Tokyo Station

When you hear the word Calbee, the word chip, or perhaps, potato will usually come to mind. Rarely do you associate this brand with ice cream, yet the Hokkaido ice cream is what drew us in every single time. We loved it so much that we came here at least 3 times while we were in Tokyo.
Hokkaido is a Japanese region renowned for fresh, high-​quality milk. The Calbee ice cream is a soft serve made with Hokkaido milk, and It is creamy and light at the same time. The soft serve doesn’t leave a heavy feeling in your stomach as do other ice creams with a high fat content. Instead, this dessert has subtle notes of vanilla, but with a completely different flavor profile.
On one occasion we tried the chips/​ice cream combo. The chips were covered in a Royce chocolate sauce. Thankfully, the ice cream was separate from the chips in its own container since I didn’t want to defile the heavenly Hokkaido soft serve! The chips were good, but nothing special. It’s interesting to see the chip making process at this location as you wait in line, though.
It’s definitely worth trying the Hokkaido milk soft serve! It’s a great dessert after walking around Ramen Street/​Tokyo Station.

Freshly made potato chips? Checked!
Royce chocolate? Checked!
Soft serve ice-​cream? Checked!
A combination of the above three? What? The thought of potato chips and ice-​cream sounds peculiar? But hey, I am pretty adventurous when it comes to food especially when we are talking about chips and desserts.
I highly suspect my brother has indulged in this one of a kind dessert when he had been to Japan many times. He said we must buy one of those Calbee potato chips.
Calbee is a popular brand which is like our Lays back home. After our lunch at Wako 和幸, we came to Calbee+ My brother went to the counter and ordered us a potato chips with Royce (another popular chocolate brand in Japan) chocolate drizzle and soft served ice-​cream. When he got our order, I was like «This is huge!!» For 460円, this is not bad.
The chips were freshly made on the spot, they were so crispy! The chocolate drizzle with the chips gave us the sweet and salty combination. The soft serve ice-​cream was so creamy and I have never had a soft serve ice-​cream that tasted that delicious!
I wish there is a corner in the store for people to stand or sit down to eat. Standing outside the store and indulging this wonderful dessert is a challenge especially when our mom was looking at us with disapproval. We were brought up not to eat in the public, I bet my mom wishes we would not grow up.
Highly recommend for anyone to try this one of a kind dessert snack at least once!
