With over 20 varieties always available, the lineup at their Kokusai Street store includes both classic and limited-edition products, tailored to suit the hot and humid climate of Okinawa with a rich yet refreshing taste.

    How could you visit Okinawa without trying the super-popular BLUE SEAL! This famous ice cream shop on Kokusai Street, a brand that "came from America and became famous in Okinawa," has practically become one of the must-try foods when visiting Okinawa.

    This time I ordered a crepe. The crepe was on the soft side, topped with plenty of whipped cream, banana, and vanilla ice cream. Overall, it was sweet and very satisfying. The only slight disappointment was the strawberries. Maybe they weren't in season, because they were a little tart, which was different from the sweet strawberries I'd imagined.

    Overall, it's still a great place to stop for a treat while exploring Kokusai Street. Eating it as you walk really gives you that travel feeling!

    Blue Seal is one of Okinawa's most famous and iconic ice cream brands. It offers a wide variety of flavors, from classic creamy options to distinctive Okinawan flavors. The texture is smooth, and the sweetness is just right. I think the signature vanilla sea salt is a must-try. The subtle saltiness pairs with the rich, creamy vanilla for a very distinctive flavor. If you want to try something different, you can also choose a tropical fruit flavor. It's sweet, tart, and refreshing, with a distinctly Okinawan vacation feel! Boxed versions are also sold at supermarkets and convenience stores, so you can buy some to enjoy at your hotel.

    The ice cream was cool, smooth, and creamy, with just the right amount of sweetness. Enjoying it with the crispy cone added a nice contrast in texture. Sitting inside and savoring it slowly was the perfect way to escape the heat, adding a relaxing and happy moment to the trip.

    When visiting Okinawa, Blue Seal is an ice cream brand many people make a point to try. This time, I chose their signature Blue Wave. It combines soda-flavored ice cream with pineapple fruit ice cream, which is a pretty unique pairing.

    I’ve hardly had a flavor like this anywhere else. If you’re in Okinawa, I’d recommend giving this distinctive flavor a try.
