Jun’s green-tea ice cream is a testament to subtlety

• Urbanspoon: Suzie Q
• The green-tea ice cream from Jun’s is like a spa for your mouth.

Dessert at Japanese restaurants is often an afterthought. It feels like a concession to diners. And that kind of halfhearted approach to the last course is how we end up with abominations like fried ice cream.

The saving grace for Japanese restaurants has always been mochi: the Japanese rice cake molded into little balls and filled with sweet paste or ice cream. But Jun’s (7660 State Line Road) in Prairie Village has another option, green-tea ice cream, for those who doggedly believe they can squeeze in a bit more food after ordering too much sushi.
