Scorching summer. Ramen girl eating ice cream. Panda soaking in a cold bath.
The ice cream she is eating is an Azuki bar. It is a Japanese out-of-place artifact that maintains its hardness for more than 20 minutes even under the scorching heat of midsummer and continues to emit cool steam.
Azuki bar are edible blunt objects that have a Mohs hardness comparable to that of sapphires and diamonds "temporarily" because they contain little air and do not use dairy ingredients, making them hard enough to hammer nails into. There are also Japanese swords made from Azuki bar.
It's not too sweet but it's delicious.
