I didn't make ice cream because of time constraints.

Then try the super extravagant ice cream 👉 America Parfuit



This ice cream is so over-the-top! (I love over-the-top things 🤩)

My hands were covered in it

But I really enjoyed the meal!

I remember that the ice cream in his cup allowed you to choose the flavor level.

I chose mint chocolate and vanilla chocolate.

The overall flavor is really rich and amazing.

It gets a little sweet towards the end.

But it's fine when paired with the cereal underneath 😍

Must-try in Okinawa | Blue Seal X Okinawa Donuts

Blue Seal is a dessert you'll encounter while traveling in Okinawa, while "Shima Donuts" (Okinawan donuts) require a slightly slower pace in your itinerary. From Llea's (leas_wonderland) travelogue, you can see that these two must-try Okinawan desserts, each with its own distinct rhythm, exist precisely between casual stops and convenient turns along the way. Leaving them in your itinerary isn't about eating more desserts, but about adding just the right amount of pause to your journey.
