A taste test review of Häagen-Dazs' 'Chocolat Mint Extra' mini cup ice cream, which boasts an extra dose of mint for a refined sweetness and refreshing sensation.

Haagen-Dazs will be releasing a new limited-edition mini cup flavor, ' Chocolat Mint Extra, ' starting May 19, 2026. It's said to be perfect for the warmer months, as it contains more mint than their traditional mint flavors. So, we at the editorial office got a sneak peek and tried the 'Chocolat Mint Extra' ahead of its release.

The ingredients list includes Hokkaido-produced cream (raw milk), chocolate chips (semi-chocolate), and peppermint flavoring. Each piece contains 265 kcal.

This is what it looks like when you open the lid. Since no coloring is used, the ice cream is white, and you can see the black and brown specks inside.

Just scooping it with a spoon released a pungent minty aroma. Taking a bite, the cool, refreshing sensation of mint spread throughout the elegant sweetness of the ice cream, leaving a strong, refreshing aftertaste. The bitter chocolate chips scattered throughout the ice cream had a crunchy texture that seemed to match the sweetness of the ice cream and the mint flavor, making me want to take another bite.

The suggested retail price for Häagen-Dazs' mini cup 'Chocolat Mint Extra' is 373 yen (tax included). It will be available nationwide for a limited time starting May 19, 2026.
