If you ever been to Japan, you've probably seen this ice cream in any convenience store/ Konbini. It's one of local's favorites as it is cheap (about 130yen) and it a classic favorite made with Japanese Azuki red beans and it taste like a frozen anko and it's not that sweet!

Azuki Bar by Imuraya is a Muslim-friendly ice-cream as it doesn't contain any non-halal ingredients but now they've produced a Halal-certified Japanese Ice Cream Bars in Malaysia, approved by Jakim!

There will be 3 flavours;

  1. Red Bean: A classic Imuraya Azuki bar (similar like the one in Japan!)
  2. Matcha: The ice cream is covered with a matccha late ice using Uji Matcha (Kyoto) and filled with Azuki in the inside. This would definitely bring us back to Japan in one bite!
  3. Milk - A popular combination in Japan, creamy milk ice with Azuki red beans!

This ice-creams will be available in Sept 2021 in Malaysia with an estimated selling price of RM1.20~

We hope this will be available in Japan and other countries too!
