Axel treated Roxas to sea-salt ice cream on the Twilight Town Clock Tower, saying it was "icing on the cake", after Roxas completed his first mission and reminding him they sat there the first day Roxas got his new name. He then suggested that he and Roxas should meet each other to eat ice cream every day after they completed their missions, stating going back and forth to the [[Castle That Never Was]] was boring. After Axel left for his mission in [[Castle Oblivion]], Roxas invited Xion to join him. Soon Roxas, Axel, and Xion began eating ice cream together after their missions. Sea-salt ice cream is Axel's favorite flavor.

On Day 118, Roxas is sent on vacation and has no idea on what to do. After rejecting Xion's offer of practicing with the Keyblade, he once again looks at the notice posted in the Grey Room. While looking at the notice that said "Operations Closed for Vacation", Roxas thought, "What to do? What to do?". Then he concluded the scenario saying the word "Ice cream". This perhaps shows that Roxas had learned to like ice cream ever since Axel had given him one.

Axel first notifies Roxas that some ice cream sticks have the word {{nihongo|"WINNER"|あたり|Atari}} on it, and can be redeemed for a free ice cream bar. On one of their later meetings, Roxas found a WINNER stick, but kept it secret. He later bestows the stick to Axel as a farewell gift when he leaves Organization XIII.

It also acts as a symbol of the friendship between the three of them, most notable when Roxas asks Xion who he will eat ice cream with as she vanishes.

Hayner, Pence, and Olette also enjoy this ice cream, usually eating it together. In one of Roxas's memories, Axel offers him a stick of sea-salt ice cream before their parting.

When Sora arrives in Hollow Bastion, he sees Scrooge McDuck, who is trying to recreate the recipe for sea-salt ice cream. Through subsequent visits, Scrooge comes closer to reinventing the flavor and ultimately succeeds.

Riku left a sea-salt ice cream with a [[picture]] of Roxas and the gang from [[The Other Twilight Town]] as clues for Sora, Donald, and Goofy. Donald took an immediate liking to the ice-cream, and ate it.<ref>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''''', '''Sora''': "Yeah, the one Donald ate up."</ref><ref>Despite Donald eating the ice cream, the key item remains in the inventory.</ref>

Ansem the Wise was very fond of this ice cream, and often ate it while conversing with [[King Mickey]], and later used it as the password for his computer in the [[Old Mansion]], which [[Sora]], [[Donald]], [[Goofy]], and Mickey use to enter The Other Twilight Town.
