Mikawaya is a Vernon, Calif.-based candy maker and ice cream processor that is on the move with new products and formats backed by social media marketing.
The company plans to expand its ice cream offerings with its first pint line — Mikawaya Exottics — to be released as early as this April. The line will include black sesame, ginger, plum, red bean, mango, lichee and two flavors of green tea—primarily “Asian-leaning flavors,” says the company’s secretary/treasurer Joel Friedman. Vanilla, chocolate and strawberry will also be available.
