A Japanese company has launched soy sauce-flavoured ice cream.

The invention comes from a collaboration between Hirota, a confectioner, and Yamani Soy Sauce Co, according to The Daily Telegraph.

Kunihiko Shirokawa of Hirota stated: "It's a mixture of soy sauce and ice cream, producing a well-balanced salty yet sweet ice cream which is perfect for the summer.

"We are planning another product for the autumn."

Soy sauce-flavoured ice cream puffs are being sold for 150 yen (£1.23 / $1.92). Ice cream with cone costs 250 yen (£2.05 / $3.19).

A percentage of profits from the concoction will be donated to a project aimed at revitalising Rikuzentakata, a city in Japan that was effectively destroyed by the 2011 Tohoku earthquake and tsunami.

Other unusual ice cream flavours to have been sold around the world include venison, breast milk, squid ink, sweet potato, ox tongue and sweetcorn.
