TOKYO (The Straits Times/Asia News Network): Some ice cream are known for their rich flavours but the latest concoction by one Japanese confectioner may also be more suited to those with deeper pockets, going for a cool 880,000 yen (US$5,800) for each serving.

The dear dessert called Byakuya, or white night in Japanese, was officially dubbed the world’s most expensive ice cream by Guinness World Records last week.
