The Winter Delight from Meiji: Dear Milk Special Rich
As winter approaches, ice cream lovers can rejoice as Meiji Co., Ltd. has announced the launch of their first winter edition ice cream:
Meiji Dear Milk Special Rich. Set to be available nationwide from
December 1, 2025, this delightful treat promises to offer a rich and creamy experience that perfectly matches the cold winter weather.
The Meiji Dear Milk series is already known for its commitment to high-quality ingredients, consisting solely of dairy products. The
Meiji Dear Milk Special Rich takes this commitment a step further by incorporating an even higher proportion of milk ingredients. This special winter edition features an increased milk fat content of
19.5%, compared to the
17% found in the standard offerings, ensuring a more indulgent and flavorful ice cream experience.
A Unique Ingredient Highlight
This innovative ice cream is crafted using rich cream made from milk sourced from the Tokachi region, known for its high-quality dairy products. By utilizing this local resource, Meiji aims to accentuate the deep, thick flavor profile that defines the special rich variant. The result is an ice cream that not only delights the palate but offers a warm, comforting experience during the cold winter months.
The Art of Ice Cream Making
The
Dear Milk series prides itself on being the first in Japan to produce ice cream using only milk products as its base. Meiji employs unique techniques to extract the maximum sweetness and richness inherent in milk, such as using their proprietary
Tokachi Condensed Milk. This helps elevate the natural milky taste, ensuring that the ice cream reflects the quality of its ingredients.
Furthermore, Meiji uses an innovative process known as
ice-point concentration. This method involves concentrating milk ingredients without applying heat, which helps preserve the fresh aroma and rich flavor profile that consumers have come to expect from Meiji products.
Contributing to Healthier Lives
Through the launch of the
Meiji Dear Milk Special Rich, the company aims to widen the horizon of enjoyment associated with ice cream. Meiji is committed to contributing to the healthy lives of its customers by providing indulgent flavors that also cater to a sense of well-being.
With the coming chilly months, this winter ice cream is set to become a favorite treat. The combination of high-quality ingredients, innovative manufacturing techniques, and a focus on rich flavor makes the
Meiji Dear Milk Special Rich a must-try for ice cream enthusiasts and winter dessert lovers alike.
From its unique formulation to its delicious taste, this new ice cream offering showcases Meiji’s dedication to quality and consumer satisfaction. Be sure to look for it at your favorite retailer when it debuts in December!
