It appears throughout the ''[[Kingdom Hearts (series)|Kingdom Hearts]]'' universe, but made its first appearance in ''[[Kingdom Hearts II]]''. ''Kingdom Hearts II'' is also the only game in which the ice cream features as an attainable key item. The ice cream's flavor mixes both a salty taste and a sweet taste. | ||
An interview with Tetsuya Nomura after ''Kingdom Hearts II'' explained that Nomura first tasted sea-salt ice cream at a trip to {{W|Tokyo DisneySea}}, a smaller resort of Disney's parks in Japan.<ref>'''[http://www.kh2.co.uk/website/interviews/kh2u Interview]'''; '''Tetsuya Nomura''': "Yes, I did. When the Tokyo Disney Sea opened and I went there by invitation, they were selling Seasalt 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."</ref> He liked the ice cream very much and decided to work with Disney to have it put into ''Kingdom Hearts II''. He also said that the idea to put the dessert into the game came to him when he was thinking about what the kids in Twilight Town do and eat over summer vacation.<ref>'''[http://www.kh2.co.uk/website/interviews/kh2u Interview]'''; '''Tetsuya Nomura''': "Besides, Roxas’ story is set in summer break and I wondered what I ate back in summer breaks when I was a kid and I remembered “Ah, of course, ice-cream.”"</ref> | |||
