100 posts. 100 weekend goodness posts. that feels like a lot. and i have two more weekends left in japan. 101 will be spent in mie. h-kun's home prefecture. 102 will be spent in tokyo. and then 103 will be spent back home in canada. crazy. i haven't been home in over two years. and am definitely looking forward to seeing all those folks. and enjoying weekends with them.
remember a few weekends back. when i had kuro goma (black sesame) ice cream. well. i haven't stopped thinking about it since then. and i was talking to a friend about it recently. and she told me how she makes it. so simple. well. we had dinner at our neighbours this weekend. and i thought this was my perfect chance. to make some kuro goma ice cream.
simple. for sure. just let your ice cream sit out for a bit. until it gets a little soft. stir in some of that black sesame paste. put it back into the ice cream container. and back in the freezer. i am in love with grey ice cream. it's so creamy. almost like a light peanut butter taste. wow. i am so glad that ice cream is sold in such small containers here. it's more of a treat. opposed to an indulgence.i hope that makes sense. next on the list is matcha ice cream. i think that will have to wait until next weekend though. yep.
looks special and lovely. :)

I liked the black sesame when I tried it but I am not sure that I could have eaten a whole scoop, now sakura ice cream I could have eaten a tree full!! I hope you enjoy your last 2 weekends in Japan and I will miss your Japanese weekend goodness....roll on Canada!

matcha is love. i wish it was more available here - i mean in ice creams and such. you can buy the powder almost anywhere. i made my mum a matcha cake for her birthday this year!
