This spring has a new must-try and must-post favorite. FamilyMart’s Fami Ice Cream has consistently sparked online buzz with every new flavor launch, often becoming a social media highlight for users to check in at.

Following the popularity of the strawberry heavy milk flavor with its soft pink tones, FamilyMart’s Fami Ice Cream’s first spring release will meet high user demand by launching three trending flavors — Shizuoka Matcha Ice Cream, Wandan Red Bean Ice Cream, and a Matcha Red Bean Combo — from March 5 to April 4.

Among them, the Wandan Red Bean and Matcha Red Bean Combo flavors are available exclusively at stores with dual-nozzle machines. To celebrate the simultaneous launch of all three flavors, from March 5–7, from 10 AM daily, the “FamilyMart” app will offer a special deal: buy 2 ice creams for 59 NTD. Limited to 10,000 sets per day, with a purchase limit of one set per member per day.

Japanese matcha has long been a beloved specialty flavor. In 2016 (105 in Taiwan’s calendar), FamilyMart carefully selected matcha from Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan, and launched a limited-edition Shizuoka Matcha Ice Cream. It sold nearly 300,000 units in less than two weeks. Later, it was paired with locally made Taiwanese Wandan Red Bean Ice Cream. The combination not only blends perfectly but also features a stunning red-and-green color scheme, quickly becoming a classic flavor fans can’t stop thinking about.

To meet fan expectations, this spring launch of FamilyMart’s Fami Ice Cream brings back the original trio: Shizuoka Matcha Ice Cream, Wandan Red Bean Ice Cream, and Matcha Red Bean Combo. The matcha from Shizuoka Prefecture, Japan, is a must-try when traveling there — its taste is sweet but not cloying, smooth on the palate with a slight bitterness, and finishes with a lingering tea aroma. A must for matcha lovers.
