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>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts II Ultimania]]''''', '''Interviewer''': "I heard it was you who suggested to insert the sea-salt Ice-cream in the game." / '''Tetsuya Nomura''': "Yes, I did. 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." [https://web.archive.org/web/20190422153823/http://www.kh2.co.uk/website/interviews/kh2u Translation via KH2.co.uk].</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>'''''[[Kingdom Hearts II Ultimania]]''''', '''Tetsuya Nomura''': "Besides, Roxas's 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.'"
