Rolled ice cream actually originated in Thailand and has now become one of the most beloved desserts around the globe. Japan’s original specialty rolled ice cream shop “Roll Ice Cream Factory” has operated since its opening in Harajuku · Omotesando in 2017, and currently runs eight branches across Japan in cities including Osaka, Nagoya, Okinawa, Yokohama, Kyoto, and a pop-up store (limited-time only) in Tokushima.
Its biggest highlight is that customers can create their own custom ice cream, enjoying a colorful summer treat, which has made the rolled ice cream shop a popular spot for Instagram photos. In addition to the shop’s recommended combinations, there is a wide variety of ice cream flavors to choose from, along with an array of sauces, fruits, and toppings to build your own one-of-a-kind rolled ice cream. Moreover, the rolled ice cream made by Japanese chefs offers a uniquely delicate texture, with carefully selected ingredients and adorable plating, delivering a dessert that is as cute as it is delicious.

“Roll Ice Cream Factory” has eight branches in Japan.
The biggest feature is that staff pour liquid ice cream onto a -10°C iron plate to start the making process. They stir-fry the ice cream and flatten it into a thin layer, then roll it up into ice cream rolls using a spatula. The making process is fun to watch, and you can also choose your desired toppings, offering a feast for both the taste buds and the eyes.
