My family and I visited Clover for the first time last October 22, 2022, during 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.
