Kissa menu series: クリームソーダ (cream soda)
After coffee and tea, my most ordered kissa menu item is the cream soda, short for ice-cream soda, a popular showa drink that’s having a comeback right now, even outside of the kissa world. It is normally made of melon soda and vanilla ice-cream (sometimes topped by a cherry), but there are some variations (like blue Hawaii float, orange soda float, coke float, etc.). However, if the menu says クリームソーダ without any specification, it will be a melon soda float. Most kissa make their own soda from sparkling water and syrup.
It is said that Shiseido Parlor in Ginza is the first one who has served cream soda in Japan. Cream soda comes from the U.S., and was patented in 1865. However, that version included egg whites, not ice-cream. The ice-cream float (which is closer to Japan’s cream soda) was also invented in the U.S., but in 1874.
I sadly do not own any bright lime - or melon - green piece, so I made do with a bright mint dress.
