Fake reviews removed

A gelato specialty shop on Ikuchijima (Setoda) along the Shimanami Kaido cycling route. Famous for fruit gelato using locally grown citrus (Setoda produces about 35% of Japan's domestic lemon). Selected as Tabelog's 100 Best Ice Cream 2023, 693 reviews/3.60. #1 in Rakuten's mail-order gelato category for 18 consecutive years. No franchise — 4 directly operated stores only (Setoda Main, Kosanji-mae, Tenmaya Fukuyama, Sogo Hiroshima).

Many say 'must stop here when cycling the Shimanami Kaido' and praise 'the flavor that makes the best of local citrus.' Especially popular with cyclists, established as a regular mid-route stop.
