!!! Spoilers for "A Snow-Covered Path" !!!

If you want to unlock the story yourself, you should do that first

THERE THEY ARE THERE THEY ARE THERE THEY ARE THERE THEY ARE

In shadow

And you don't get to see Moonlight

But at least they're finally acknowledged tjdyryjddidyrtstdt

I'll put my thoughts and other stuff under the cut because the post would be too long lmfao

Note before reading: I don't go too into detail with specifics of the story so if you want to understand everything you should complete the whole story or at least up to part 7

I think the story was really interesting and it gave us more insight on the Legends' personalities and powers to some extent

Like we already had the basics to go off of you know, but I think it's interesting to see how they interact with others

It also sets up more story with the Legends in the future because something is happening to Earthbread and Dark Enchantress is the cause

This is a random detail I noticed but Sherbet knew about Sea Fairy, Moonlight, Fire Spirit, and Millennial Tree but he didn't know about Wind Archer because Wind had to introduce himself and Sherbet even asked "Who are you?" when he first appears

This makes me wonder if Sherbet just didn't know about Wind or that Frost Queen didn't know about Wind

If Frost Queen is the one who told Sherbet about the other Legends then neither of them know about Wind

But there's also the possibility that the Legends are well known throughout Earthbread and Wind is just the least known

This isn't an important detail though

I just thought it was interesting lmao

Another thing with the story is that there's voice acting which was a surprise to me

While I don't usually play with the sound on I feel like they don't usually have voice acting with special stories

But maybe they have and I just haven't noticed lmao

For the longest time we only knew the names of the voice actors who played the Legends and could only hear one quote each on the official website (except Sea Fairy for obvious reasons), so it was cool to actually hear them more

This post is already very long but I just wanted to mention that they could've possibly hinted at the next Legend to be released

Now this could easily just me getting my hopes up or overanalyzing a simple piece of dialogue but hear me out

The whole plot is leading up to the characters going to this "Beast-Yeast" place where Dark Enchantress is growing her army

Wind is the only Legend we know of who is actively going there now

You know

I'm just saying it's a possibility

There's of course the possibility that the others will be going too and we just haven't seen them mention it but

I'm just saying

#velvet speaks #caps tw #sea fairy cookie #moonlight cookie #fire spirit cookie #wind archer cookie #millennial tree cookie #sherbet cookie #apparently it's 'sherBET' cookie and not 'sherBERT' cookie #i don't think i'm the only one confused because the voice actor of sherbet even says 'sherbert'#whatever though jtxtxj #also if wind actually is the next legend to be relased i'm never gonna shut up about it lmfaooo

When I was making my plans for Okinawa, most of what was recommended for food everywhere online was Blue Seal. I thought it was one tiny ice cream shop that I’d have to make a pilgrimage to. Oh no. Oh no no no. Blue Seal is everywhere. Blue seal is such a staple to Okinawa that it was one of the few things beyond security near my gate at the airport when I left. I lived at Blue Seal while in Okinawa. I don’t think I’ve tried to cram so much ice cream into a trip before and I honestly don’t regret it. I do regret that I didn’t try all the flavors I wanted.

When it comes to Blue Seal I highly suggest popping into every shop you see. My hotel recommended one that was around the corner on its map of family friendly things to do nearby. I thought when I checked in that this meant it was the only one within walking distance. Oh boy I was wrong. There was nearly one every block, and every single one was different. One of them was a tiny shop where you picked out what you wanted from the vending machine and then handed it over to the one person working. Their options were limited but they had the basics, the most popular flavors.

The one my hotel suggested had seating. It was bigger and very reminiscent to a big chain ice cream shop with all sorts of Blue Seal souvenirs and a couple of places to sit —inside or out— to enjoy your ice cream.

Then further down the main street there was a third one that was much much bigger and that inexplicably sold crepes.

I swear ever single shop I went into was magically different. Some were better than others, some were super basic, but they were all a fun adventure.

Blue Seal’s slogan is “Born in the U.S., raised in Okinawa” and it was created in Uruma City by the United States military for the soldiers in Okinawa at the end of the second World War. Originally it was an American only thing available exclusively on the bases from 1948-1963, when it finally opened up to the Okinawan public by opening a shop in Urasoe City, Maki Port. The main branch can still be found there today. It eventually traded to become a local owned business but still retains that American diner vibe.

Historically one of the most popular items is nicknamed Shirokuma, or the polar bear ice cream sandwich originally only available in mint but has since expanded to many other flavors. I was a bit too busy trying the actual ice cream to move onto bars so I didn’t get a chance to meet Shirokuma or try any of the polar bear ice cream sandwiches. (Which is a bummer because I haven’t had an ice cream sandwich in forever and it was a staple in my home growing up). Apparently all the original USA Foremost Ltd. recipes are kept in a super secret orange book, which might explain why there’s a splash of orange in the blue logo.

There are at least 33 constant flavors of regular ice cream, several soft serve flavors and then seasonal or monthly specials. There are classics like vanilla, chocolate, matcha (maccha), vanilla and cookie, strawberry, Neopolitan (Neapolitan), and San Francisco Mint Chocolate, among a lot more. But then! Then there are some local Okinawan specials:

Ryukyu Royal Milk Tea

Shiiquasa Sherbet

Beni-imo

Okinawan Salt cookies

Okinawa Ta-imo Cheesecake

That isn’t the longest list but when you’re only in Okinawa for a couple of days and you’re already eating everything you can try, as well as other local ice creams, it meant that I didn’t complete that list. I had really hoped I’d be able to try one more before leaving, there was even a shop at the airport but my stomach warned me against it. Here’s what I managed:

Shiiquasa Sherbert

When I was looking up ice cream to try this one came up often as a must try at Blue Seal. It’s similar to a lemon or lime sherbet but pretty tart. I did enjoy it and it was the first thing at Blue Seal I tried.

Okinawan Salt Cookies

Everyone has different tastes when it comes to ice cream and this one was I think my favorite of the flavors I got to try. I loved the crunch of the cookies and the balance between salty and sweet.

Beni-imo*

*I had this as a soft serve. Twice.

I got it mixed up with ube which was the other flavor I wanted to try. So I tried it once on it’s own as a soft serve and again mixed with vanilla as a swirl. It was good, had a slight after taste of yam but I really liked it. It was a lighter purple than I was expecting.

Sakura Annin

While I was visiting there were two seasonal/monthly flavors. On my first trip to Blue Seal it was just Ganache Chocolate Fudge and this Sakura flavor was not available. But it popped up the next day and I was determined to try Sakura (cherry blossom) ice cream. There were three components to the ice cream: cherry blossom, brown sugar sauce, and almond pudding taste flavor. To me the almond extract flavor overpowered the rest of the ice cream and it ended up not being my favorite. Still, I am glad I tried it.

Each time I went I only got one scoop in a cup. This was about 330 yen. If you want a double scoop it’s 560 yen. Soft serve was 330 yen. Soft serve flavors included:

vanilla

beni-imo

mango

vanilla and Beni-imo

Salty milk

For 600 yen you could also double up with a regular scoop of ice cream and top it with some soft serve. You can even pay an additional 50 yen for your cone or cup to change into a waffle cone. Some locations even did ice cream floats for 410 yen.

I highly suggest a visit. Everyone seemed to love it. I really loved it and one day I want to go back and try Ryukyu Royal Milk Tea and Okinawa Ta-imo Cheesecake and probably just live in the bucket of Okinawa salt cookies. That was by far my absolute favorite.

The hours change depending on location, if one location is closed another might still be open just a block away.

Blue Seal When I was making my plans for Okinawa, most of what was recommended for food everywhere online was Blue Seal.
