Akagi Nyugyo Co.Ltd is the company who created this ice cream. Gari Gari-kun`s popular flavor is soda, it is one of the popular ice cream with long history. The package always have the picture of the main character, Gari Gari-kun. Akagi first made Akashishiugure, which is the shave ice cup in 1964. Therefore, this was a hit item, in 1980th, they are thinking whether if they can make the shaved ice on the stick for kids that they can hold in one hand. From than, they created the ice cream coating with ice candy, to have less melt, and ice cream that will not remove from the stick. There is also lucky draw, on the stick, that is also exciting! In present, there are other varieties of flavors you can enjoy. The limited flavor changes every 2 months. My recommend flavor is soda, but please try the taste that you cant`t have it in this time too!
