The frozen dessert, called byakuya – “white night” in Japanese – is currently fetching 880,000 yen ($6,380) for a serving, officially making it the most expensive ice cream in the world, according to Guinness World Records.

Wow, it has roughly the same price as a booking fee at the Star Wars Starcruiser hotel.

I wonder if it is really delicious?

Imagine being so wealthy that you eat gold.

That’s more than I make in salary, plus my military pension each month. In a word….WHOA!

Just grab a pint of Ben and Jerry's and enjoy. There are some things worth paying extra for, but I draw the limit at B&J.

I wouldn't buy a serving of ice cream that cost $6.38!

Nobody's (let me be clear) NOBODY's palate is that acute. That's like a scotch I once saw priced at $68k US. It cannot be that much better and is mainly a scam in a d*** measuring contest.

Give me Hagen Das Peanut Butter Chocolate and I am happy. And I get shell shocked at the 5 buck a pint price tag. That is why it is my once a month treat.

I would not want to be the rich person that admits to buying that. That is borderline embarrassing and a damn shame.

I just make my own; it's fun, fresh, and you can make what you want when you want.

That's true. They specified what ingredients were in this ice cream flavor.

Japanese ice cream brand Cellato calls white night a gelato on its website, and the name is a hint to its Italian origins.

Sourced exclusively from Alba – home to what many consider the best white truffles in Italy – that ingredient alone could rake in as much as two million yen ($14,500) per kilogram, said an article published on the Guinness World Records website last week.

The ice cream is topped off by an edible gold leaf, two types of cheese and “Sakekasu,” a paste-like ingredient derived from the process of sake-making.

“It took us over 1.5 years to develop, with a lot of trials and errors to get the taste right,” a representative from the company told Guinness World Records earlier.
