Oshiruko - a traditional dessert that is an old favorite

However, oshiruko makes for quite the popular dish on the cold slopes of a ski resort. This classic sweet is an overwhelming favorite of ski-goers both young and old, male and female, looking for something to warm them up!

Ice cream, an ever-popular treat even atop a freezing ski resort
