1. “Dream Jumbo Parfait” Ice Cream
Dream Jumbo Parfait is one of the symbols of Yukijirushi. It is a combination of jellies, fruit and Baumukuchen cake layers arranged in a highly artistic way like a mountain. And of course, the highlight of this dish is the 45 ice cream covered around like a colorful snow. Living Nomads guarantees that you will see the glass of this ice cream, you will be surprised.
You can entice those who love ice cream to come here to enjoy this huge dessert. Note that this must be booked in advance because they take up to 2 hours to prepare a Dream Jumbo Parfait ice cream! This is still the biggest ice cream in Japan today and now only Angela Sato – one of the Japanese dining queens is able to eat the ice cream alone.

2. “I am NO.1” Ice Cream
If you are not confident enough to handle the biggest ice cream in Japan then you can switch to “I am NO.1”. This is a miniature version of Dream Jumbo Parfait with only size 1/3 with 15 ice cream seed, just enough for you to try all of the tastes. There are fresh Hokkaido cream, fruit, cereal, biscuits and strawberry jam. This is a sweet paradise.
Price: 4.760 JPY ~ 45 dollars
3. “Snow Royal Special” Ice Cream
It is made from pure Hokkaido pure milk; this sweet “soft” royal ice cream will not make you feel disappointed. Even if you do not have time to go to Yukijirushi to taste, you can still buy a fresh cream box at Shin-Chitose Airport. It is sold with a dry ice pack so you can keep the whole ice cream for 8 hours.
A small note of Living Nomads: This ice cream does not completely use the egg to retain the pure white color of ice cream like Hokkaido snow.
Price: 770 JPY ~ 7 dollars
4. Anmitsu Ice cream
