Yukimi-daihuku

Yukimi-daihuku(雪見だいふく) was born in 1981. This is one of the oldest ice cream product in Japan. Characteristic of the ice cream is combination of Mochi(Japanese rice cake) and vanilla ice cream. In 1981, nobody imagined this combination of those foods. Mochi is Japanese traditional food and ice cream came from western culture. It seemed that combining two foods that belong with two different culture into one product would make strange taste. However, Yukimi-daihuku became popular product quickly and it is steel popular too. Yukimi-daihuku include Mochi and Mochi is basically eaten in winter season. That is why, the product did not decrease its sales number even if it was in winter season and the product totally changed stereo type idea that ice cream is eaten only in summer time and expanded market in winter season. That is, it is not too much to say that the ice cream gave big difference to history of Japanese ice cream.
President of the company that makes the ice cream is Korean guy.
