📖 An ice cream worth its weight in gold (literally!)
Did you know? There exists an ice cream so luxurious that it costs more than a dream vacation ! 🤑 The Japanese brand Cellato has created the most expensive ice cream in the world, named Byakuya, and sold at the price of 6000€ per serving.
This gastronomic madness has even been recognized by the Guinness World Records as the most extravagant ice cream ever marketed. But why such a price? 🤔
🍦 Rare and precious ingredients
To justify this outrageous price, Byakuya is made from the most exclusive ingredients in the world:
✔ White truffle from Alba (Italy) → A rare mushroom costing 13,500€/kg ! 🍄
✔ Edible gold leaves → Because when it comes to luxury, we do not skimp on sparkle. ✨
✔ Parmigiano Reggiano cheese → For a surprising umami touch. 🧀
✔ Sakekasu → A by-product of sake that adds a unique flavor. 🍶
This unexpected combination creates a unique tasting experience, blending culinary traditions from Japan and Europe. 😍
👨🍳 A Michelin-starred chef behind this creation
Behind this icy marvel is Tadayoshi Yamada, a Japanese chef renowned for his talent in fusion cuisine. He took over a year and a half to perfect this recipe, seeking the perfect balance between these rare ingredients.
And the tasting ritual is just as sophisticated:
1️⃣ Wait for the ice cream to reach room temperature.
2️⃣ Drizzle a bit of white truffle oil to intensify the flavors.
3️⃣ Savor it with a handcrafted metal spoon from Kyoto.
Yes, even the spoon is high-end ! 😅
🛒 Where can one purchase it?
If you are willing to spend 6000€ for a scoop of ice cream, know that the Byakuya is sold only in Japan and delivered directly to wealthy clients.
💡 And if you are still hungry, Cellato is already planning other luxury ice cream creations… Perhaps an even more expensive ice cream in the future? 👀
📖 Conclusion: madness or the ultimate experience?
Spending 6000€ on ice cream, is it a whim or a gastronomic revolution? 🤯 If you are a connoisseur of luxury and rare flavors, perhaps the experience is worth it… Otherwise, a good old Italian ice cream remains unbeatable! 🍦🔥
