Real Frozen Yogurt

Anyone that knows Amy and I well is aware of our disdain for what is called frozen yogurt here. Sure, it tastes good but it's more like soft serve ice cream than true frozen yogurt. The frozen yogurt that Amy and I grew up eating in Hawaii is more tangy in flavor and tastes more like, well, yogurt and less like vanilla ice cream. That's why Amy told me first thing when she discovered UBerry, U Food Grill's frozen yogurt in the Landmark center - it was the closest thing she found resembling the Yami yogurt we used to enjoy in Ala Moana. Since then, we've also discovered YoTango frozen yogurt at JP Licks. Exciting stuff but what was even cooler was when I walked into Shaw's today and noticed this in the freezer section:

Haagen-Dazs Frozen Yogurt, Tart Natural Flavor

I was running a quick errand and resisted the temptation to grab it, but it's nice to know that I'll be able to run to the supermarket the next time I have a froyo craving.

Plus, I heard there's another new place called Yo! Berry (obviously jumping on the Pinkberry craze) in the Allston/Brighton area, so I'll have to check that out as well.

Update: I haven't been able to find the calorie information for JP Lick's new YoTango frozen yogurt but I did find out that it is kosher, non-fat, it contains millions of probiotic bacteria, has less sugar, no cholesterol and is easily digested by the lactose intolerant. It is a great source of calcium and contains live and active cultures which include lactobacillus bulgaricus, and lactobacillus acidophilus.

Toto, We're Not in Boston Anymore

Another indication we're in Japan -the size and flavors of the Haagen-Dazs ice cream here.

Seen at the Sobudai-mae Odakyu grocery store, Haagen Dazs ice cream in Green Tea, Azuki Milk and English Milk Tea. The Green Tea flavor always makes me think of my teenage cousin Andrew, who visited Japan last winter. He bought it constantly throughout his visit, along with Japanese Pringles.
