Bakudan's dessert menu isn't extensive — it's one item, Mochi Ice Cream, and that's by design. After a hot, rich bowl of ramen, a small, cold dessert makes more sense than something heavy.
What's Actually on the Plate
Mochi Ice Cream is $5.50, and you choose two flavors from vanilla, strawberry, or green tea. It's a small-format dessert — ice cream wrapped in a soft mochi rice dough shell — meant to be a light finish, not a second course.
Why It Works After Ramen Specifically
A bowl of ramen, especially something rich like Garlic Tonkotsu, is filling on its own. A small cold dessert closes out the meal without adding more heavy food on top of it — which is part of why it's the one dessert item on the menu rather than a longer list.
Picking Flavors
Green tea is the closest flavor to something distinctly Japanese if that's what you're after; vanilla and strawberry are more familiar, safer choices if you're ordering for someone who isn't sure. Since you get to pick two, there's no need to commit to just one.
Ordering It
Mochi Ice Cream is available at all three locations and can be added to any online order alongside your ramen, or ordered at the table.
