Why a Gold Medalist
& Ice Cream?

To fulfill this wish, she chose the best ingredients from Japan and from all over the world. Ingredients that are good for the body for all ages. Matsumoto is passionate about her ice cream and is excited to make a positive impact on the world. Bringing smiles and happiness to all of those who try her healthy and flavorful ice cream.
OUR INGREDIENTS
SELECTION
Dairy-Free
(No dairy products used)
Darcy’s ice cream does not use dairy products, which are a common cause of food allergies. We also do not use additives such as emulsifiers or thickeners that are used in commercially available ice creams. We use organic Japanese Agricultural Standards (JAS) certified coconut milk and soy milk instead of dairy products, creating an ice cream with a rich flavor and a light after taste that anyone can enjoy.
White Sugar-Free
(No refined sugar used)
Darcy’s ice cream does not use refined sugar. The sweetness come from “beet sugar”. Beet sugar is a sweetener that contains a lot of oligosaccharides and minerals and is characterized by its natural sweetness.
Gluten free
Gluten is a type of protein found in wheat and barley, and is a common allergen. Though not typical for the base of ice cream gluten can be found added in and as toppings. Darcy’s ice cream does not contain gluten, even in our coconut milk and chocolate cookie flavor. We used our own original gluten free chocolate cookies.
Trans Fatty Acid-Free
(No trans fatty acids)
Trans fatty acids are found in margarine, shortening, edible oils and more. They are often used as stabilizers for ice cream and are said to increase bad cholesterol. However, Darcy’s ice cream does not contain any trans fatty acids, and we do not use any stabilizers or preservatives. So, you can enjoy the taste of the ingredients themselves with peace of mind.

Our Delicious FLAVORS
Coconut Milk & Chocolate Cookie
“Let’s make a truly delicious coconut milk ice cream!”
This ice cream is made with 100% pure coconut milk and extra virgin coconut oil. The smooth texture comes from inulin, a natural fiber derived from the blue agave, and the sweetness comes from agave syrup and beet sugar, giving the ice cream a smooth, deep flavor. To pair with the rich coconut milk ice cream, we mixed in our original gluten free chocolate cookies. A carefully crafted chocolate cookie with a perfect balance of saltiness and sweetness. This combination creates a premium ice cream that you can’t find anywhere else.

Ichiban Matcha
“Let’s make the best Matcha ice cream with the real and unique taste of Japan!”
Matcha ice cream began with the highest quality matcha. The tea leaves, carefully grown without any pesticides, come from Shizuoka tea, the first tea in Japan to be certified as organic by the JAS (Japanese Agricultural Standards). Matcha is delicate and difficult to handle, so the proportions were determined through trial and error. It requires a well-balanced blend with a rich flavor and a smooth texture, a manufacturing method that brings out the best in the umami, temperature control to bring out the flavor and vibrant color, and a sweetness that goes well with matcha. The recipe for Ichiban Matcha, perfected after repeated research, is based on a delicate balance. The result is a rich and balanced, flavorful Matcha ice cream.

Coconut Milk & Chocolate Mint
“Let’s make a luxurious ice cream that delivers the natural aroma of mint.”
We paired premium sweet coconut milk with refreshing agave mint chocolate. We melted and added
the agave mint chocolate to the ice cream, then crushed it roughly to retain its crunchy texture. Experimenting with the chocolate composition many times to achieve a perfect balance. A balance that brings out the flavor of the coconut milk ice cream while still allowing you to enjoy the refreshing taste of the mint chocolate, resulting in a premium chocolate mint ice cream.

Coriander & Kiwi
“Let’s make an ice cream for both coriander lovers and non-lovers alike.”
The development of coriander ice cream, which is something not many people have heard of, resulted in an unexpected combination. We searched for a fruit that would go well with the unique flavor of coriander and after lots of trial and error we ended up using kiwi fruit, a rather tart fruit. To the refreshing coriander with sweet and sour kiwi fruit, we added apples and organic lemon juice. This ice cream is worth trying, not only for those who love coriander, but also for those who don’t.
