Taro, peanut, green mango and many more ice-cream flavours have been blended with the region's chillis at this modern store just up from Nanao train station (spot the chilli 'ladies' outside). Dusted with crumbled chilli cookies, it's a fire-and-ice sensation. All flavours have a non-chilli version too.
