Turkish Ice cream!?

I am always wondering why he is there... I pass through him almost everyday when I go to work. I am not surprised anymore but some people (They are probably visitors I guess...) whisper staring at him.


He is in front of the variety store in the Teramachi arcade which is not far from our hotel. He is always stiring something with a long stick.

This is my question, Who is he?????

This is the guy I am talking about!!!


He sells Turkish Icecream in Kyoto. He has a big pot filled up with ice cream. I have never tried it but I am very curious about him, not about Turkish Ice cream. I heard that Turkish Ice cream is sticky and has to be stired.


Anyway, I have seen only a few people who bought it even though I have ever passed through him many times. How can he maitain his small ice cream store? Is he a real Turkish? Where is he from? Why does he sell Turkish Ice cream in such a normal arcade? What is his ambition?

I have a lot of questions but I don't have courage to speak to him. So, this is still mystery.
Please someone talk to him and tell me the answers!!

Turkish ice cream is 300 yen. If you are a student, you can get student discount!
Let's try Turkish Ice cream in Kyoto and be a friend with him:)
