5. Kane Mochi

If you haven’t tried mochi before, you are in for a treat! Mochi is a Japanese creation, a chewy, jelly-like coating wrapped around a ball of super cold ice cream shaped sort of like a little dumpling. The textures go together perfectly and it’s the perfect non-messy handheld way to get your ice cream fix. With its Japanese origins, you’ll also find unique flavours like taro and green tea.

A year-round favourite, who can resist Salt’s signature lotus ice cream? It’s just sweet enough, with crunchy cooking topping and a little syrup. In summertime, Salt often brings out its seasonal mango ice cream which is tangy, sweet and utterly refreshing.
