\"Mikawaya<\/a><\/p>\n

Purchased Price:<\/b> $4.99
\nSize:<\/b> 1 pint
\nPurchased at:<\/b> Nijiya Market
\nRating:<\/b> 8 out of 10
\nPros:<\/b> Spot on lychee flavor. Not overly sweet. Wonderful way to enjoy lychee when it’s not in season. Airiness makes it easier to scoop. If I had no willpower, it would be gone in 15 minutes. Oh wait, I don’t have any willpower. Will someone please take this pint away from me?
\nCons:<\/b> Why are there two T’s? Why aren’t there three X’s? Not as creamy as premium ice cream, like H\u00e4agen-Dazs. Airiness gives it a texture similar to frozen dairy dessert. Its bright white color may blind you if the sun hits it at the right angle. Might be difficult to find.<\/p>\n
