The incredibly dreamy aqua-blue “whale shark ice cream” from Instagram is now available in Taiwan too. Fans of *Finding Dory 2* must have been totally charmed by the whale shark’s fate. When Osaka Aquarium Kaiyukan launched its blue-and-white ice cream, it immediately caused a sensation—every visitor had to have one, snapping photos and reluctant to take a bite. This dreamy sea-colored ice cream is now available on Zhongshan Road Up.

The Seaside is a newly opened ice cream shop on Zhongshan Road. The entire store, as blue as the ocean, is instantly soothing on a hot summer day. It sells dreamy whale shark-blue colored ice cream full of ocean vibes, and another product, the Azure Ocean Sparkling Drink, is also a great way to beat the heat. Even during its trial operation period, the store has seen long queues.

This whale shark ice cream isn’t just cute to look at—the combination of white yogurt and blue soda is the perfect refreshing duo, finished with tiny white sugar beads representing the shark’s spots for a final touch. Its sweet-tangy, rich flavor is very summery. The Azure Ocean Sparkling Drink features a beautiful blue gradient like the sea, with a pure soda fizz that carries a hint of lemony acidity—it’s instantly addictive. Both are perfect for a sunny day.
