📖 Ice cream worth its weight in gold (literally!)
Did you know? There is an ice cream so luxurious it costs more expensive than a dream trip ! 🤑 The Japanese brand Cellato created the most expensive ice cream in the world, baptized Byakuya, and sold at the price of 6000€ per portion.
This gastronomic madness has even been recognized by Guinness World Records like the most expensive ice cream ever sold. But why such a price? 🤔
🍦 Rare and precious ingredients
To justify this crazy price, Byakuya is composed of the most exclusive ingredients in the world:
✔ White truffle from Alba (Italy) → A rare mushroom costing 13,500€/kg ! 🍄
✔ Edible gold leaf → Because when we talk about luxury, we don't skimp on the glitter. ✨
✔ Parmigiano Reggiano cheese → For a surprising umami touch. 🧀
✔ Sakekasu → A by-product of sake that brings a unique flavor. 🍶
This unexpected combination creates a unique taste experience, mixing culinary traditions Japanese and European. 😍
👨🍳 A starred chef behind this creation
Behind this frozen marvel, we find Tadayoshi Yamada, a Japanese chef renowned for his talent in fusion cuisine. It took him 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 Add a drizzle of white truffle oil to intensify the flavors.
3️⃣ Enjoy with a handcrafted metal spoon from Kyoto.
Yes, even the spoon is high-end ! 😅
🛒 Where can I buy it?
If you are ready to spend 6000€ on a scoop of ice cream, know that the Byakuya is sold only in Japan And delivered directly to wealthy customers.
💡 And if you're still hungry, Cellato is already planning more luxury ice cream creations... Maybe even more expensive ice cream in the future? 👀
📖 Conclusion: madness or ultimate experience?
Spending €6,000 on ice cream: is it a whim or a gastronomic revolution? 🤯 If you're a fan of luxury and rare flavors, maybe the experience is worth it... Otherwise, a good old Italian ice cream remains unbeatable! 🍦🔥
