Shirohige's Cream Puff Factory has created a very cool Totoro shaved ice treat for Studio Ghibli fans in Tokyo. This special dessert, called Totoro no Yukidaruma or "Snowman Totoro", is a limited-edition product set to appear at the Setagaya's Daita neighbourhood store this summer. Unlike previous years, the shaved ice is now shaped like Totoro itself. The dessert comes in three flavours: Strawberry, Peach, and Matcha.
The Strawberry flavour features bright red fruit, a sauce made with Nagano Prefecture's "Sachinoka" strawberries, and a scoop of vanilla ice cream. Peach flavour is said to be the store's most popular, with thick slices of domestically produced white peaches and a special sauce made from nectarines and plums. The Matcha flavour is a crowd-pleaser for green tea lovers, containing matcha ice cream, matcha syrup, anko red bean paste, and shiratama dumplings, evoking a popular traditional Japanese dessert called anmitsu.
