Despite so much important stuff going on in the world right now, including an announced/Impending earthquake last night here in Japan, it’s hard to resist something as trivial yet incredibly delicious as Japanese coffee-flavored soft serve, which I indulged in this afternoon.

Coffee-flavored soft serve is not as easy to find as one might think, and so far, we’ve only found it in two places in Osaka – a tiny café behind the Apple Store and a corner café behind the W Hotel – and at the café inside the Ace Hotel in Kyoto. Like with most stuff, I suppose the scarcity makes it all the more lustworthy.
