Haagen-Dazs' 'CREAMY GELATO' series' new flavors ' Strawberry Condensed Milk Milk ' and ' Hojicha Kinako ' will be released on Tuesday, June 24, 2025. Both flavors are double-cup structured, with two flavors packed in half each in one cup, allowing you to enjoy a variety of flavors in one cup. I had the opportunity to try them early, so I tried to see what they tasted like.

The packaging for CREAMY GELATO's 'Strawberry Condensed Milk Milk' and 'Hojicha Kinako' looks like this.
First of all, I'll try the 'Strawberry Condensed Milk Milk'.
The type is ice milk, which contains strawberry puree, cream, skim milk concentrate, strawberry preserve, etc. Calories per piece are 174kcal.
When I removed the cap, the inner lid said, 'Knead and eat,' and 'When kneaded, it becomes fluffy and soft!'
The inside looks like this. The pink part on the left is 'strawberry gelato' and the white part on the right is 'condensed milk gelato'.
First, try eating the strawberry gelato by itself without kneading it; it's a sweet and sour gelato with a rich strawberry flavor. It has a fairly strong sour taste, making it perfect for the hot summer months.
Condensed milk gelato is very milky and sweet.
When you eat it after mixing it together, you can enjoy a variety of flavors depending on how it's mixed, such as 'parts where the sourness of the strawberries is enveloped in condensed milk for a mellow taste' and 'parts where the sweet and sour taste of the strawberries comes to the forefront with a slight milky taste added.'
Next, I will try 'Hojicha Kinako'.
The type is ice milk, which contains skim condensed milk, cream, soybean flour paste, roasted green tea paste, etc. Calories are 184kcal per piece.
The inside looks like this. The darker one on the left is 'Hojicha Gelato' and the lighter one on the right is 'Soybean Flour Gelato'.
The Hojicha Gelato has a very strong Hojicha flavor, and the unique flavor lingers in your mouth even after you swallow it.
Kinako gelato tastes exactly like 'soybean flour solidified into a powder.'
When mixed together, you can enjoy a layered taste where the roasted green tea and kinako flour flavors coexist. As the kinako gelato and the kinako flour start to melt over time, they will completely mix together, so it's recommended to eat it quickly before it melts. Of course, you can also choose to eat it slowly and wait for them to mix together in order to enjoy the complete mixture.
The suggested retail price for CREAMY GELATO's 'Strawberry Condensed Milk Milk' and 'Hojicha Kinako' is 351 yen (tax included) and will be available at supermarkets and convenience stores nationwide from Tuesday, June 24, 2025.
