Akagi Nyugyo Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Fukaya City, Saitama Prefecture; President: Sota Inoue) will sequentially launch "Sof' Hokkaido Milk Vanilla" nationwide from early May 2026.
Sof' adjusts its flavor according to seasonal temperatures in spring, summer, autumn, and winter. For this summer's renewal, we aimed for an easy-to-eat ice cream that allows consumers to fully enjoy the aroma and richness of milk even in hot weather, with a refreshing sweetness and a clean aftertaste.
【Changes】
・Changed the ice mix manufacturing process to minimize heat application to the fresh cream used, enhancing the original milk flavor.
・Reviewed sugar ingredients for a cleaner sweetness.
【Sof' Product Features】
・Designed to allow consumers to eat only the top part of a soft-serve ice cream.
・Expresses the soft and smooth texture unique to soft-serve ice cream.
・Uses 100% Hokkaido dairy products, primarily Hokkaido-sourced milk, to deliver a rich milk flavor.
For the packaging, six summer-themed designs will be available: "Fireworks," "Water Yo-Yo," "Cumulonimbus Clouds," "Sunflowers," "The Milky Way," and "Wind Chimes." To allow consumers to enjoy the "signs of early summer" in May, the designs were created to heighten the excitement of summer a little earlier. Please enjoy the summer.
Akagi Nyugyo will continue to propose new ice creams that can be enjoyed more easily, in order to convey its corporate message "Let's Play." to customers.
