 Yukimi
Daifuku (Japanese: 雪見だいふく "snow-viewing daifuku") -
A brand of mochi ice cream manufactured by the
Japanese/Korean company Lotte. It consists of a ball of
vanilla ice cream wrapped in a thin layer of mochi, or rice
cake. Lotte originally created Wataboshi (Japanese: わたぼうし
"cotton hat or capped with snow"), a bite-size ice cream
wrapped in a thin layer of marshmallow in 1980. Marshmallow
was quickly replaced by mochi because it is more popular in
Japan and the company perfected a technology to keep mochi
soft at freezing temperature in 1981.
It comes in three sizes: a carton containing two pieces of
ice cream, with a plastic pick for eating it; a "mini yukimi
daifuku" box with nine smaller ice creams; and "yukimi
daifuku petit three colour box" (雪見だいふくプチ3色) containing
three kinds, a green tea ice cream, a chocolate ice cream,
and a vanilla ice cream.
In the hanami (cherry blossom viewing) season, a seasonal
variety with strawberry ice cream is sold.
