    Came here because a friend knew about it and said it was supposed to be like desserts in Japan. They look good and taste okay--not worth the price. We got the 2 shaved ice that were cute like animals and they were $18 each. The ice cream as the mouth and snout is cute but it's just ice cream and ice with some matcha flavor and fruit for the ears. I could make that at home! Service was curt and slow. Not much seating and the bar table was dirty.

    So yummy! I love Japanese desserts and this one is super good! I love watching them make the matcha and all their sweets are so yummy. The wait time was pretty long on the weekend and they give you a number while you wait near the take out area. Interestingly enough my anmitsu came out before the drinks did. We got the Hojicha and matcha cream foam latte and it's super rich and slightly sweet as a dessert. It also comes with jelly on the bottom as well! So I recommend grabbing a spoon for this even if it's a drink. I also ordered the anmitsu and the mango pudding. The anmitsu is so tasty and where it won't be like a cha a tea house craftsmanship it definitely savored my anmitsu cravings. They make this with vanilla ice cream and I would recommend adding the kuromitsu syrup on it for sure! The mango pudding reminds me of lady M and it's super tasty and rich in flavor. I definitely will be ordering the mochi ice cream next time I'm back to industry city!

    This mochi ice cream was a delightful experience. The mochi itself is super chewy and stretchy, at one point we could slurp it like a rice noodle which was so much fun. The ice cream itself is not overly sweet. The match flavor is excellent and the strawberry one is very classic. Love the red bean and jelly surprise at the bottom. The Japanese town area is definitely worth checking out, lots of places to sit and eat. Very cute place to come do some shopping.

    I wanted to like their desserts and drinks so badly, but I fear it looks better than it tastes. The hot Hojicha Latte was not made properly either. The worker was whisking in circular motions and put 1-2 cups of hot water. A Hojicha latte should be 95% milk. There should only be a teaspoon of hot water mixed in with the powder and whisked in a zig-zag motion. Therefore, the drink tasted really bad unfortunately. The mochi ice cream was good, but the cup is so small that the ice cream drips all over the edges of the cup. The same applies to the shaved ice. It literally fell to the side after a few spoonfuls in. Also, they use a plain block of ice to shave and they should use a milk ice instead so it's creamier and more authentic. I have no positive comments about the drinks sadly. It was all cream and jelly. And the cream was so bitter. I am giving 3 stars because everything visually is pretty and the service is great. The staff are very kind, but I don't see myself ever buying anything from here again.

    Japan Village in Brooklyn is my favorite spot to hang out on weekends, and I stop by Yamada Stand for sweet treats every single time :))) I've tried their mochi ice cream, kakigori and the latest monaka mont blanc and EVERYTHING HITS. My bar for matcha/hojicha desserts is very high, but they won my heart with the authenticity and richness of tea flavors. *Monaka Mont Blanc (NEW!!) $8 Seasonal item. Chestnut dessert is the perfect wintery sweet treat imo. Sandwiched between two crispy wafers, monaka is beuatifully layered with azuki bean paste, whipped cream, and sweetened chestnut purée. It was so amazing to witness how they pipe the fresh chestnut purée into distinctive threads. I love japanese style mont blanc because it is lighter and not too sweet. *Hojicha Mochi Ice Cream $8 *Mango Mochi Ice Cream $8 First, the size of their ice cream scoop is unbelievably huge. They precisely weight every scoop and gently wrap it with mochi dough. The mochi part is very chewy and stretchy (look at the mochi pull!!). The most delightful part is that they add tea jelly and red bean paste on the bottom. I've tried matcha, hojicha and mango so far, and hojicha ice cream is my absolute favorite.

    This little food stand is located on the second floor of Japan Village which I didnt know even existed. They have shaved ice, mochi ice cream, and some seasonal japanese drinks and strawberry milk. We ordered the Inu Kakigori which is shaved ice packed to look like a puppy. You actually get to see the staff work on the creation so that was pretty neat. The bowl can easily feed two people and was packed with red bean and jelly on the inside. There are also tables and seats set up between the stores so you dont need to walk around carrying your food. Will definitely come back and try their other desserts. Be sure to check on their hours because when we went they were not open everyday of the week and they close pretty early on the days when they are open.

    Anmitsu
    Brandon Y.

    Ever since they opened up the second floor of the Japan Village area, I've been coming to this little shop for dessert after my meals. In particular for the Anmitsu, which is essentially an assortment of different Japanese ingredients such as red beans, tea jelly, mochi balls, ice cream, rice crackers, and a few other little tidbits. Similarly speaking, it's kind of close to the construction of filipino Halo-Halo. The blend of sweet, savory, salty, and bitter from so many different components bounce off each other so well, and just makes you want to dig into the next bite because each one is a little different and customizable based off how you want it to be. I find it to be such a fun looking, tasty dessert that's not at all too heavy after you had a hefty meal in Industry City. Heck, my sister got this dish in Japan a few times and said that the rendition they make HERE is tastier. While the Anmitsu is my mainstay, I've also had the Kakigori a few times and it is also pretty spot on in terms of execution. The shaved ice they make is melt in your mouth tender, like snow, and the syrups they use are soaked throughout THE ENTIRE dish, so that every bite is filled with flavor. A lot of the times this is not the case with a lot of places here which basically only soak the top part of their shaved in syrup for aesthetic purposes and leave the bottom to just be a mound of flavorless NOTHING lol. The condensed milk they add alongside it is also a great touch that adds a bit of creaminess to it as well as another layer of sweetness to the dish. Overall, just as enjoyable as the Anmitsu, and may be preferable if you're someone who has an issue with multiple textures and flavors interacting in one bowl. Between the ambience of the area surrounding it, the quaint service, and the genuinely authentic and super tasty sweets, this is a must stop if you're around Industry City!

    Yamada is located at the upper level of Japan Village and conveniently within walking distance from the 36 St subway station. The weather was in the high 70s today. My good friend Cynthia Z. and I decided to try Yamada. The ambiance was perfect for our dessert date. The cashier told us their rock ice came from Ishikawa. We were fascinated. Animal KAKIGORI *sharing is caring* KUMA + Mango Ice Cream + Milk Syrup + Mango Syrup + Peach + Orange Mmm, after my first bite of the kakigori. I am in heaven. One word: Scrumptious Note: They only accept credit cards! Bookmark this spot to try!

    Matcha mochi ice cream

    Loved their mochi ice cream!! Tried mostly all the mochi ice cream flavor there accept hojicha .. gonna try that next time

    Matcha and Mango
    Jacquelyn C.

    I had to try the mochi ice cream when I saw it, and I'm so glad I did. The mochi was spot on, perfectly chewy and stretchy. The ice cream itself could use a little work though. The matcha flavor was a bit icy and not as creamy as I was hoping for, and the mango was super light, I wish the mango flavor came through more. That said, I loved the red bean and jelly at the bottom, such a fun surprise and really tasty!

    I recently stopped by to try out their serve soft serve ice cream inside Japan Village on the first floor. I got the matcha ($5.52) and milk flavor soft serve ($5.52). The matcha soft serve has a more bitter taste and the milk tastes sweeter and creamier. I would like to try their mochi ice cream when I come back again. They also have these adorable fruity animal shaped shaved ice and drinks as well.

    Yamada's massive mochi ice creams caught my attention a while back, but I only had the chance to try this place a few weeks ago. It's located on the second floor of Japan Village on the opposite end of Daiso. After looking at their menu, it was really hard to make a decision. I love kakigori (Jap-style shaved ice), so it was a hard tie between that and the mochi ice cream. But because I'm trying to save money these days, I went with the cheaper option: the mochi ice cream. The flavor options were mango, hojicha, strawberry, and matcha. I secretly wanted hojicha but I knew my husband preferred matcha so that's what I got. Also, get your tissues ready 'cause it can get surprisingly messy! We sat down on a bench on the 2nd floor to dig in. The mochi dough was certified very stretchy; it was sooo satisfying to eat it. Though it wasn't advertised on the menu, there was red bean and grass jelly at the very bottom! I loved that surprise addition; we found it at the right moment, just as we were starting to get tired of the mochi ice cream. I'd probably come back next to try the kakigoris, though their drinks were tempting too. I mean yuzu shiso is a first!

    Mango kakigori with peach
    Anna S.

    I have been wanting to come here for a while since I love shaved ice. However was a bit disappointed by the dog shaped kakigori. I would recommend not getting the animal shaped ones, as those are probably more so just for the looks. The top portion of the shaved ice had no taste at all. We had to ask the lady to add extra syrup onto the shaved ice. I think the original kakigori probably taste better anyways because they can drench it in sauce without worrying about ruining the look of the animal shape. The mochi ice cream was delicious! I got the hojicha flavor and I loved the smoky taste of it. The mochi itself is not too thick but it does wrap all the way to the bottom, so it is bigger than it seems. It is all a little pricey for what it is. I'd probably only come back for the mochi ice cream.

The neighborhood setting makes most visits feel like a quick stop for dessert rather than a long stay, but the interior still gave off a calm, clean café style atmosphere. We found it easy to sit down and linger a bit when we wanted to. The menu is heavily anchored in mango desserts in different forms. We tried the mango sticky rice first, which paired fresh mango with a simple, classic base that felt familiar and satisfying. The shaved mango ice desserts are more layered and textural, often combined with mango ice cream, boba, and fresh fruit pieces for a colder, more refreshing profile. We also ordered the mango mille crepe cake, a signature direction here, with thin layers of crepe and cream built around a strong mango presence. There are variations like mango mochi and durian desserts, plus drinks such as fruit teas and smoothies that keep everything within the same fruit driven theme. Service was straightforward and counter based. Our order came out in a fairly quick rhythm even though the shop had a small crowd. The space felt organized and clean, and the flow of ordering was simple and direct, which fit the dessert shop format perfectly.
