At the core of Clover's menue is its diverse selection of ice cream and gelato, crafted using an authentic Italian gelato machine. From classic favorites to innovative creations, there's something to satisfy every palate. But what truly sets Clover apart is its use of freshly squeezed milk sourced directly from the neighboring Tamura Farm.

Nestled nearby, Tamura Farm has been a beacon of dairy excellence since its establishment in 1923. Boasting lush pastures for grazing during the summer months and spacious barns for winter shelter, the farm prioritizes the well-being of its cows, ensuring the milk they produce is of the highest quality.

My family and I visited Clover for the first time last October 22, 2022during our “October 22-23” Road Trip. It was my 355th day in Japan as an ALT under the JET Programme. It was our last destination before leaving Higashikagura. It was a perfect stop as we were looking for something sweet to eat after driving for half the day. Aside from its ice cream, we enjoyed the ambiance of the shop. I highly recommend trying the ice cream and gelato from Clover
