飯田牧場 Iida Farm

On the American Thanksgiving Day, a friend and I had planned to go fishing during the daytime. Due to high winds and waves, we cancelled that plan in exchange for another -- eating delicious ice cream. The shop we visited is the famous Iida Farm, located in Fujisawa Kanagawa.

I got a photo of the menu for the day: 

Translating the sign, the shop served the following gelato flavors:
- Royal Milk Tea
- Almond
- Milk
- Vanilla
- Rum Raisin
- Raspberry
- Cream Cheese
- Choco Chip
- La France (pear)







The selection:

I purchased a double cup as it was on sale this day. My flavors? Chocolate chip and raspberry! 

The taste was very creamy with a strong milk flavor. My friend purchased Rum Raisin which was had strong butter and rum flavors.

While eating, I noticed this poster on the wall: 

Translated, it talks about Iida farm providing their premium ice cream and puddings for the famous Japanese cruise ship, Nipponmaru. (dated: October 2012)

There were many other signs on the shop's walls signed by Japanese celebrities who had visited the farm to try the ice cream. Iida Farm has been featured on numerous morning and food programs in the country too.

My friend snapped a photo of me outside the Milk House:

If you are in the Shonan-Fujisawa area of Kanagawa, a trip to this farm's ice cream shop is recommended. The staff said many foreigners visit too.
