Think about that. Fish-jizz ice cream. Oh, those wacky Japanese.

The rest are just Japanese weirdness. I've heard that white pepper can enhance other sweet ice cream flavours, but I'd never heard of just a plain white pepper ice cream.

Octopus Ice Cream! WoW! That is a very unusual mix of foods. Although it does catch me interest I wonder what it tastes like. I know your probably thinking well it tastes like octopus but it might taste like regular ice cream with an unusual aftertaste or something. You never know until you try it. I wish I could have some right now just so I know what it tastes like. So all im saying in a nutshell is dont get picky just because of the name it could turn out to be very delicious.

I don't think I really liked it. Unlike Debi, though, I LOVE green tea ice cream. Definitely worth a try.
