Celebrating the Unique Sensory Qualities of Rice: The Rice Creamery
Laura McQuarrie — August 8, 2025 — Lifestyle
Traditional Dairy-Free Ice Cream Options
Traditional dairy-free ice cream options often include almond, soy, or coconut bases, offering creamy textures and distinctive flavors suitable for lactose-intolerant and plant-based diets. The Rice Creamery offers a novel vegan-friendly alternative by crafting ice creams predominantly from rice. The brand's lineup features three flavors: The Original, Elegant Dutch Chocolate, and Master’s Uji Matcha.
The Original Flavor Details
The Original flavor blends rice syrup and cashew paste with sugar, glucose, dietary fiber, salt, an emulsifier, and a stabilizer. Instead of mimicking milk's qualities, these rice-based frozen treats showcase the natural sweetness and sensory nuances of rice itself.
Availability and Expansion
Initially available at convenience stores and local retailers across Japan, The Rice Creamery plans to expand its innovative desserts to the United States later this year.
