🎉 Announcing our new Bi-Rite Creamery & Friends ice cream collaboration with Izakaya Rintaro : **Sweet Ume Plum!** 🍈

This soulful partnership has resulted in an exquisite flavor that celebrates Rintaro’s deep-rooted tradition and culinary artistry. We’ve enriched our classic ice cream recipe🍦 by adding ripe, blushing ume plums from the Central Valley, which were cured in sugar for months until a floral, mildly acidic syrup developed. This careful curing process is reminiscent of Rintaro’s beloved umeshu liqueur – a centerpiece at his Mission District restaurant. 🥃 The result: Sweet Ume Plum is a delicate symphony of sweet, floral, and tart notes that dance on the palate with every bite. 🎊
We’re excited to continue bringing deliciousness to our community!

Pints are now available at our Markets and the Creamery, along with scoops. We can’t wait for you to try it! ✨
