After a lunch in the food court at Mitsuwa I had to get some dessert. The pictures at Kai Sweets caught my eye immediately. Unfortunately I did not ask exactly what Mont Blanc is before I ordered it. I thought it was ice cream but it is instead a sweet paste that I got in the sweet purple potato flavor. It was a bit overwhelming with sweetness and the flavor became too much after eating just half which I split with someone. The green tea ice cream was good and if I return I would just get plain ice cream!

I got to try a Mont Blanc for the first time here and I got the sweet potato one with sesame ice cream. The Mont Blanc was such an interesting texture and was very tasty with the sesame ice cream. Highly recommend grabbing a dessert here if you're in Mitsuwa!

From the amount of people getting it, I thought the quality comes with the hype. We got the Matcha, Strawberry, and Pineapple. If you get a Small in a cup, it comes with a cake cone. The Large is a waffle cone. The Matcha is ice cream, and I should have known from the appearance, but the Strawberry and Pineapple are both sorbets. I never had sorbets on a cone, and I definitely don't want to again. The Strawberry was very artificial tasting. It tasted straight out of a Laffy Taffy candy. Their menu is pretty deceptive since all the flavors were labeled under "Soft Serve Ice Cream." Keep this mind when you order, because the fruity flavors were not good!

Okay. Looks like play-dough, tastes like purple yam with sugar.

No line on a Friday evening. They close at 8 even though Mitsuwa closes at 9. I ordered the Matcha ice cream with the purple potato Mount blanc as recommended. They should rename this the Dino Mash. Given the colors it made me think of Barney. They should also make it in kid's size. Kids will love it. Mount Blanc seems bizarre as a name, when nothing about this is white. The matcha is super flavorful and the purple yam comes through, although a bit sweet. People have written that they can't taste the matcha but I think it's very present: Try it for something different. Split it with a friend because it's a lot. The location is very clean and the small menu keeps it organized. It's in Mitsuwa so there can be a line, but there are a few tables by the Kai Sweets bakery where you can also pick up some tea and extra adorable macarons!

Mont Blanc soft serve is pretty interesting. The noodle-like play dough on top of the ice cream is apparently made of chestnut puree. I think literally everything in here has a long line just because there's only one Japanese market. I wish they had more ice cream places like this around town. Some people complained about getting fruit flavors. Might as well go to a Disney World or Hawaii to get Dole whip ice cream. The line here moves super fast, even if it seems long. Maybe they should rename the purple potato flavor to purple yam since it's so sweet. The black sesame is very good too.

This spot satisfies the sweet tooth with reasonable prices. This spot usually has a really long line, I was fortunate to go on a weekday mid afternoon when it wasn't busy. I ordered the black sesame soft serve with the matcha string topping (don't remember the official name of it), but I thought it was worth the type. You can only add this topping with a large size soft serve.

Love the drinks here, would at least stop by when I'm in the neighborhood. Had the macaroons, they were tasty and yet decorated very cute with glitter.

I've been watching to try this place ever since I saw a viral video about the Mont Blanc. I got the black sesame soft serve with purple potato Mont Blanc. I will say I do think this was a bit overpriced for the amount they give but I don't know any other place that does Mont Blanc so it's worth trying at least once. My partner and I really enjoyed the soft serve. It was very airy and light. I saw some other reviews about the soft serve flavors being too subtle. That was not the case with the black sesame, it was clearly black sesame flavor but it wasn't too overpowering or sweet. The Mont Blanc had a similar consistency to red bean paste and it was room temperature. I'm not sure why but I thought it would be chilled. I would get the soft serve again and pass on the Mont Blanc just because I'm not sure if it added enough for the price difference.

This place is in the Mitsuwa supermarket. We ordered Mont Blanc purple potatoes with matcha ice cream. It was nice mix. I enjoyed it. The Mont Blanc was unique. Entire dessert was not overly sweet so it was good. I ordered Matcha drink and some soft ice cream before. They are good, maybe little pricy. I would recommend people to check this place out.

This is a newish ice cream stand (kai Creamery) and is an expansion of Kai Sweets where they sell mochi donuts and the cafe next door. The ice cream is ok but it is not as good as they ice cream shop (Matcha Love) they replaced. They offering is roughly the same with the addition of Mont blanc style ice cream.

Long line but quick and friendly service. The server was able to quickly explain what the Mont Blanc. It's a sweetened chestnut purée in the form of vermicell available in a variety of flavors including purple sweet potato and green tea. I've included a quick video on how it's made which is really fun to watch. I got the green tea soft serve with the purple sweet potato Mont Blanc which was good, however I think the topping is a bit too sweet for me. My only wish is for more seating. The whole area is very busy on the weekend!

We were exploring the Mitsuwa Marketplace one day and stumbled upon this dessert place! Overall the desserts were really good! Our crepes were excellent. I love the Banana/Oreo Combo with Vanilla ice cream. The crepe was so light but actually held together so well! My boyfriend tends to like fruit-flavored desserts, so he liked the macaroons very much. Plus, they had really cute designs! We would definitely come back again!

Tried the purple potato and sesame flavor today; the two were not smooth like prior ice creams, and left me feeling a bit less sure why it wasn't creamy but like it had too many bubbles? Still, the flavors were there, and enjoyed by all. So texture, off, flavor = good.

Tried the strawberry, matcha, and hoji cha ice creams. The strawberry tasted artificial but the matcha and hoji cha were good.
