Shimanami Dolce Setoda Main Store
しまなみドルチェ 瀬戸田本店
An Italian gelato shop on Ikuchijima's seaside that uses local citrus from the island, with a terrace overlooking the Seto Inland Sea.
Founded in 1998, this Italian gelato shop sits right next to its factory, with window and terrace seats facing the Seto Inland Sea and its islands. It focuses on local sourcing and usually offers about 10 flavors. Setoda lemon is the top seller, followed by Hakata salt, and seasonal fruit flavors such as ponkan and fig are also popular. There is also ice cream dorayaki. A double scoop costs about ¥700. Ample parking makes it a convenient stop along the Shimanami Kaido, and there is another branch in front of Kōzanji Temple.
