When the Tokyo Disney Sea opened and I went there by invitation, they were selling sea-salt Ice-creams at the time. You would think "salty ice-cream" seems a pretty weird idea, right? I was like 'What is this?', so I tried it out and it turned out to be very tasty. My impression of it back then was so strong that I thought of sea-salt ice cream when I thought of Disney."
