Well, it has changed. From "Heisei" that lasted for more than 30 years to "raiwa" era ----. With this change in mind, there will be many opportunities to see news and articles looking back on Heisei.

In such a situation, we [the small neta section] focused on this time, <cool sweets> who put ice cream at the head. Did you think, "Hmm? Heisei and ice, how is it related?" Then, from the background immediately, this [small topic part], it is start! Oh yeah, many people think that "it's often anxious but it's hard to find out ..." "The difference between ice cream and lacto ice (etc)" also reads this It is a batch!

Everybody, what kind of image do you think of when you say "ice"? Imagine eating ice. Sweat in the glaring sun? Or while nucleating with kotatsu? No, no matter what the season is! Some people may say that.

かつて（昭和初期〜中期）は、真夏になると、アイスが入ったクーラーボックスを自転車に載せて売りに来る“アイスキャンデー売り”なる職業もありました。それは夏の風物詩ともいえ、アイスといえば“真夏のおやつ”というイメージが一般的でした。

However, from Showa to Heisei, ice has become a "standard snack" regardless of the season! Even in midwinter, some of the buildings and rooms may be warm, and manufacturers will also offer a variety of variations, such as "Winter Only" products, and "Winter Ice" will become commonplace. Ice sales continued to rise almost every year during the Heisei era (* 1). There may be some people who think, "I think so, the kind of ice cream has really increased ~".

In this way it's really hard to choose now ... No, the ice is so rich that you can enjoy it too. I have always decided on this! People also try seasonal taste and new products! Well, let's see, what ice is you choosing?

“何アイス”か——見た目は似ていても、実は異なる“アイスの種類”。それを知るには、手に取った商品の裏などに記載されている「種類別」の名称を見るとわかります。

There are many people who say, "Oh yes, I was worried about it! But I did not go to check it ...". The so-called "types of ice" described in "by type" are 4 types: "ice cream", "ice milk", "lacto ice" and "ice candy". The difference is the "amount of milk component", which is distinguished by the description of "milk fat" and "milk solid" described in the same column (* 2).

"Icons containing 15.0% or more of milk solids (including milk fat of 8.0% or more)" are considered to be "ice cream" that is overwhelmingly more milk solids and milk fats than other types. When you say "I want to taste the fullness and flavor of milk, I want to make the most of it ..." is not often selected ice cream?

「アイスミルク」は「乳固形分10.0%以上 (うち乳脂肪が3.0%以上) 」と、その名に“ミルク”が入っているとはいえアイスクリームに比べてかなり少ない印象。ラクトアイスは「乳固形分3.0%以上入っているもの」で、乳脂肪を含まない代わりに植物性油脂を含みます。

By the way, "lacto (lacto)" is a word derived from Latin "lac" which means "milk". The name itself has the same meaning as ice milk, but the difference between these types is determined by the law based on the Food Sanitation Law.

And the fourth kind is "Hikaka". This is like reading, is it easy to imagine the difference from the other three? Ice candy, sorbet and shaved ice made from frozen fruit juice and juice belong to this type.

There are "gelato" and "soft cream" as a group of "cool" sweets that have not appeared up to this point. "Gelato" is Italian. The meaning of the word "ice cream", in a broad sense, refers to "frozen candy". In light of Japanese domestic standards, gelato is usually produced with milk fat of around 5%, so the general view is that the classification / standard belongs to “ice milk” instead of “ice cream” ( ※ 3).

As the name suggests, "soft cream" has a soft mouthfeel that melts softly in the mouth. Speaking of which, soft cream has the impression of “making it for each order”, right?

Fresh soft cream coming out of the machine (freezer) when ordered. The ingredients are mixed in the freezer and mixed (stirred), but depending on how much the amount of air is included at this time, it seems that the smoothness, texture, etc. will change. It is no exaggeration to say that this "air mixing degree" = "overrun" is the deciding factor of the soft cream taste.

ちなみに、ソフトクリームの材料も、お店によってさまざま 。先に説明したように「アイスクリーム」だったり「アイスミルク」だったり……、また、昨今では本当に色々な フレーバーも登場しています。

By the way, "Ice ○ ○" who become similar and unfamiliar who has been introduced with a foot so far. However, do you know that there is a very unique unique <cool sweet> that does not belong to any of these?

Here is that heresy. Look like soft cream ... No, take a close look, this is a package (can) in which soft cream is realistically drawn. Yes, this is like "drinking soft cream", acure made of" 【Sweets】Zeitaku vanilla milk "is. The debut of the shock is 2016 (2016). "Real soft cream ＜ekinaka＞ Is a drink that has gained popularity, with a word of mouth and word of mouth.

斬新なデビューを果たして以降、気がつけば『いちごミックス』・『メロンミックス』、そして“栃木県民のソウルドリンク”ともいえる『関東・栃木レモン』コラボまで、と豊富なラインアップでシリーズ化。そして、2019年、この春には満を辞して、初代「プレーン味 」が復活しました！

It is not just a resurrection. A new debut "chocolate flavor" is also decided at the same time! The feature of the series "60% milk from Hokkaido" remains unchanged. While enjoying the richness of the milk, the soothing atmosphere is refreshing. As well as healing the thirst of the throat, I want something a little sweet --- I recommend that time.

そうそう、最後にもうひとつだけ小ネタを。日本でもっともアイスを食べている市町村、さてどこでしょう？

The answer is "Kanazawa City" (* 4). The second place is followed by Toyama city, the third place is Fukushima city, and there are a lot of areas that are slightly cold ......? If you look at this, ice is not a “summer snack”, but rather “one year It feels like you know that it is a standard sweet that you can enjoy inside.

Various confectionery sweets, such as ice cream and soft cream. This spring and summer is ...... No, regardless of the season, it seems to keep entertaining our tongue and heart from now on.
