All about Byakuya, the world’s most expensive ice cream from Japan

Cellato, a famous ice cream brand from Japan, has accomplished the remarkable feat of crafting the world’s priciest ice cream.

It’s named Byakuya and each serving costs $6,696 (Rs 5.54 lakh).

Byakuya was named the world’s most expensive ice cream by the Guinness World Records.

The reason for the whopping cost of the ice cream is its special ingredients.

Its ingredients include a rare white truffle grown in Alba, Italy.

White truffle is priced at two million Japanese yen (Rs 11.9 lakh).

Byakuya also uses Parmigiano Reggiano, sake lees, and edible gold leaf, which adds to its uniqueness and delight.

These meticulously selected ingredients are skilfully mixed to produce a fusion of European and Japanese flavour.

The 130ml portion comes with a hand-crafted metal spoon.

Cellato partnered with renowned Osaka restaurant RiVi’s head chef, Tadayoshi Yamada, to create the extraordinary ice cream flavour.

The ice cream took over 1.5 years to develop, with a lot of trials and errors to get the taste right.

Cellato’s ice cream has no expiry date but is recommended to be consumed within 10 days for the best flavour and texture.
