MELBOURNE | Hawthorn ice cream specialists Kōri Ice Cream recently opened up a second location in Melbourne’s CBD. Being a big fan of ice-cream and Asian inspired flavours, it immediately jumped onto my “places to visit” list, which I did the other day for What’s On Melbourne.
Described as “Japanese inspired, Melbourne bred”, Kōri is the brainchild of ex-Coda pastry chef Joanne Yeoh and LuxBite co-founder and pastry chef Bernard Chu. Inside the small shop you’ll find around 12 ice-cream flavours on offer. There’s milk-based and plant-based offerings, core range favourites, and limited creations. Flavours like Hokkaido cheesecake, Fuji apple, black sesame, and genmaicha.
Only premium ingredients are used to make the ice cream, and there’s a particular focus eschewing sweetness for more intense flavour. You can get your ice cream in a cup or one of the assorted cones on offer, along with 480ml tubs for home.
Beyond the ice cream in the stainless steel pozetti, Kōri also have a fridge filled with ice cream cakes, tarts, and limited creations. Think mango cheesecake, matcha pistachio tart, and a holiday themed “Kōrinettos”.
