On the internet, you can find recipes for all kinds of homemade weirdness. But when it comes to ice cream, Sato Shigeaki probably thought of it first. His sardine ice cream recipe is already 26 years old.
In 1994, the Japanese Patent Office granted Sato Shigeaki a patent for sardine-flavored ice cream. In his patent application, Shigeaki explained that his intention was to to promote the fishing industry by encouraging children who don’t like fish to eat them. He also provided the basic recipe for his sardine ice cream. It involved cooking the sardines with onions, soybeans, rice wine, and walnut paste. Then adding this concoction to a base of chocolate ice cream.
It turns out that Shigeaki was in the business of making ice cream to promote businesses that weren’t ice cream. He also patented ice cream flavors that incorporated trees, beer, wine, and even silk! Read about Shigeaki’s odd ice creams at Weird Universe.
