    BLUE SEAL is one of Okinawa’s most iconic ice cream brands, with a huge variety of flavors. In addition to classics like vanilla and chocolate, there are plenty of distinctly Okinawan options, such as beni-imo purple sweet potato and salted chinsuko cookies, which make you want to try every flavor! The ice cream is rich, creamy, and smooth, and it’s especially refreshing on a hot day.

    The Kokusai Street location is also very convenient, so you can easily stop by while shopping. Whether you want to take a break after buying souvenirs or have something sweet during an evening stroll, it’s easy to fit into your itinerary. Okinawan food isn’t just Okinawa soba, taco rice, and rice balls—even the ice cream has plenty of local character!

    When it comes to Okinawa’s signature ice cream, it has to be Blue Seal. You can even spot its classic logo on local people’s clothing as you walk around, which shows just how popular it is.

    The biggest highlight here is the wide variety of flavors, and the store’s decor is full of American retro style. This time, I chose the refreshing mint chocolate. Being able to sit inside and enjoy a scoop of ice cream during Okinawa’s scorching summer was incredibly soothing.

    The most impressive thing is that you can find Blue Seal almost everywhere in Okinawa. Whether it’s a standalone shop along the street or the freezer section of just about any convenience store, it’s easy to buy. If you want to enjoy your ice cream at a leisurely pace, you can choose one of the larger street-side shops. It’s definitely a convenient and classic treat to enjoy during your trip.

    How could you visit Okinawa without trying the super-popular BLUE SEAL! This famous ice cream shop on Kokusai Street, a brand that "came from America and became famous in Okinawa," has practically become one of the must-try foods when visiting Okinawa.

    This time I ordered a crepe. The crepe was on the soft side, topped with plenty of whipped cream, banana, and vanilla ice cream. Overall, it was sweet and very satisfying. The only slight disappointment was the strawberries. Maybe they weren't in season, because they were a little tart, which was different from the sweet strawberries I'd imagined.

    Overall, it's still a great place to stop for a treat while exploring Kokusai Street. Eating it as you walk really gives you that travel feeling!

    Blue Seal is one of Okinawa's most famous and iconic ice cream brands. It offers a wide variety of flavors, from classic creamy options to distinctive Okinawan flavors. The texture is smooth, and the sweetness is just right. I think the signature vanilla sea salt is a must-try. The subtle saltiness pairs with the rich, creamy vanilla for a very distinctive flavor. If you want to try something different, you can also choose a tropical fruit flavor. It's sweet, tart, and refreshing, with a distinctly Okinawan vacation feel! Boxed versions are also sold at supermarkets and convenience stores, so you can buy some to enjoy at your hotel.

    The ice cream was cool, smooth, and creamy, with just the right amount of sweetness. Enjoying it with the crispy cone added a nice contrast in texture. Sitting inside and savoring it slowly was the perfect way to escape the heat, adding a relaxing and happy moment to the trip.
