Hi! Thanks for the video!! My boyfriend and I are visiting Kanazawa and today we hired two bicycles and follow a part of your icecream route :). We could not fit them all, obviously haha. We ate the wagashi icecream, tofu icecream and had two scoops of the miso-cheese & soy-chocolate icecream. Loved them all!!!! The wagashi was our favourite . The shaved ice was not on the menu anymore at one of the spots sadly, but we a great cup of tea and some mochi there. Thanks again! We had an amazing time exploring the lovely streets of Kanazawa while having amazing icecream.
wow this was so cool to hear that you actually rode the route and tried some ice cream!! I'm so happy to hear :) Thanks so much for sharing about your ride - hope you had a lovely time during the rest of your stay in Kanazawa!
It’s freaky that I just arrived in Kanazawa and this video showed up on my playlist! But I’m glad it did. There is good information here, and not just about ice cream.
I really need to up my cycling game. It's amazing how many things you can see on a day trip like that! Next weekend my wife and I are riding around Hamanako in Shizuoka prefecture an hour or so from where I live. I'll be on the lookout for ice cream! As always, very inspiring 🙂
That sounds like a really fun trip! I wonder if there's a lot of matcha ice cream in Hamanako with all the tea in Shizuoka 😄I've never been to Hamanako before- is there a bike lane around the lake? I hope you both have a great time!
@@AnniewhereAndEverywhere There is a bike lane around half of the ride. Most of the other half is OK since it hugs the side of the lake and the busy roads are a bit further away. It's really only about 10 km where the traffic is annoying. It's quite an easy ride -- almost pan flat. They have been repairing some typhoon damage for the last while and there were detours. However, I think everything is open now (I guess I'll find out on the weekend). I'll definitely keep my eyes open for matcha ice cream. I live right in the tea growing region of the prefecture so I eat it pretty frequently -- but you really can't have too much matcha ice cream!
@@urouroniwa Gotcha, that's cool to know! Hopefully the typhoon repairs are finished for your ride. That makes sense about eating/drinking matcha a lot haha - maybe there will be some other fun flavors there!
Does the milk in Japan taste different from that of the US? Or in different regions of Japan for that matter? Do the dairy cows have any special genetics (e.g. A1 or A2 beta casein) given that dairy products were not part of the traditional Japanese diet? What is the typical fat content of milk in grocery stores? Everything is so aesthetic in those ice cream shops!
I haven't noticed any taste difference but I'm not sure to be honest. You're right that dairy products weren't really a traditional part of the diet, and it is still hard for me to find a wide variety of cheese especially in our local grocery stores. There's a lot of soy milk and "milk product" which I don't understand the contents of, but I hadn't heard of A2 milk. I found an article about it though from January (english.agrinews.co.jp/?p=10755) so it looks like Japan is maybe trying to adopt A2 milk as an option but it isn't mainstream yet. This article does a good job of explaining the fat content of milk in the stores: www.simplyoishii.com/milk.html
@@AnniewhereAndEverywhere It says 3.6% butter fat for whole milk. So, it is pretty similar to North America and Europe. Must be using Holsteins. Sometimes when the cows are grass fed, the type of grass can supposedly affect the colour and taste of the milk and butter, so that's why I was asking. A2 beta casein still not that popular so I think it is also the same in Japan. (I'm an ag. economist by training, and have a casual interest in food and agriculture!)
It depends, if I'm in the countryside or just popping in somewhere (like running into a convenience store or something) I usually just leave it alone and don't worry about it. If I'm in a busy place and have to leave my bike in a bike parking area and walk away to the shop, or if I'll be gone for a while, then I'll lock it up. I have a small lock that fits in a handlebar bag or jersey pocket which is convenient

This was delightful....I hope to visit Japan in the near future and, definitely, Kanazawa is now on my must visit list. Thanks!

美味しそう。 Nice video. I live in Kyoto and my wife is from Komatsu, Ishikawa. I will really want to try your ice cream route. maybe next year. ありがとう！
ありがとう！小松市は近いね😀 I hope you can try the route next time you are in the area!
Watching your video made me want to ride a road bike. When the rainy season ends, I want to go cycling. 😄
That's so nice to hear, thank you! Yes hopefully we'll be out of the rainy season soon, 頑張ってね 😄👍
Great video. I hope someone in the Ishikawa Prefectural government gets to watch this. It would be cool for you to get sponsored by them. :)
That's so nice of you to say haha, it would be cool if they liked the video- I certainly like this prefecture! 😄
Nice 😊 delicious thanks .
thanks for watching! :)

@@bengt_axle wow that's cool, it's something I don't really know much about!
Wow! You like ice cream!
guilty! 😂
When you go on solo rides and go into shops, do you lock up your bike or is it safe enough to leave it unattended for a bit of time?
It depends, if I'm in the countryside or just popping in somewhere (like running into a convenience store or something) I usually just leave it alone and don't worry about it.
