One of the popular items, the Mixed Frozen Treat with Grass Jelly, Matcha, Taro, and Red Bean, comes with an exceptionally rich selection of toppings.

Just looking at it is incredibly satisfying. Netizens say the grass jelly, matcha, and other fillings aren’t overly sweet, the taro and sweet potato balls are chewy and delicious, and the taro paste allows you to taste the actual taro bits and natural aroma. Paired with fresh cream, it’s simply a perfect match.

The fresh cream in Big Three Rounds’ desserts is optional, and you can also choose to have your order served without ice. Some items can even be made hot. Netizens mention that even without ice, the portion sizes remain just as generous, so there’s no need to worry about getting less. Plus, since the treats aren’t too sweet, you won’t feel sick of them even if you eat a lot. Many netizens and bloggers recommend sharing one portion between two people at first—if you’re still hungry, you can always order more.
