18 best ice cream shops in Tokyo
This long-standing Italian gelato shop found fame thanks to Audrey Hepburn's 1953 film 'Roman Holiday'. Till now, it continues to churn out crowd-pleasing gelato made with the brand's secretly guarded original recipes.
You can order gelato in a cup or cone, but we highly recommend you go for a double order, so you can try at least two flavours. Giolitti's classic range include pistachio, hazelnut, white chocolate blueberry and dark chocolate, but there are Japanese flavours, too, such as yuzu ginger, black sesame and hojicha (roasted green tea).

Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) ORLANDO Bloom put on a cosy display with Kim Kardashian after his split with popstar Katy Perry was revealed. The duo have headed to Venice as part of Amazon chief Jeff Bezos, 61, and 55-year-old fiancee Lauren Sanchez's star-studded wedding guest contingent.

Clearly eager to embrace his stunning Italian surroundings - and escape speculation over his situation with the Roar hitmaker, 40 - he has touched down ahead of the nuptials. Orlando was seen looking casual in a black vest top and shorts, finishing off with white sports socks. He was seen stretching out as he strolled around the picturesque Italian streets with a pal, before spotting Kim, 44, and sister Khloe, 40, at nearby restaurant, The Gritti Palace. Keeping Up With The Kardashians alum Kim looked chic in black Balenciaga trousers paired with a dark bandeau top. She pulled on a pair of silver sunglasses and brushed her locks into a slicked-back up-do and was seen opening her arms to welcome the Lord Of The Rings actor into an embrace. Her sister Khloe, decked out in bold leopard-print, could be seen watching the pair as she stood alongside. The trio then sat at the same table as wedding attendees mingling at the pre-ceremony event. Jeff and Lauren's wedding venue was recently revealed as an "open air theatre" on a Venetian island. A series of jaw-droppingly pricey hotel suites have also been booked out for the happy couple and their guests. 'I thought I was going to die' - Hollywood star dropped FOUR STONE to play boxer leaving superstar fiancee horrified Kim and Orlando's warm welcome came after it was reported Katy - who shares daughter Daisy with Orlando from their 10-year partnership - told pals they were over back in January. The I Kissed A Girl songstress won't be part of the wedding celebrations - despite cutting a striking figure in a see-through top at Lauren's Hen - as she is on tour. ALL CHANGE Last week, The Sun reported how Orlando and Katy held crisis talks to try to save their relationship after leading increasingly separate lives. American news website TMZ then said Brit-born Orlando would be 'the life of the party' and that he would be hitting 'the dancefloor hard' when he arrives in Italy for the nuptials. An insider said: 'No one has decided it's definitely the end of the road for Katy and Orlando. 'They both love each other, but they have been living different lives for at least a year and in different mindsets.' It's understood Orlando and Katy are planning on reuniting on July 4 when there is a break in her touring schedule. The insider added: 'They have barely been together for a decent amount of time, without distractions, for many, many months.' Tensions within their relationship also reached boiling point after Katy's flight to space on board Jeff's Blue Origin. Katy, along with Lauren and Gayle King, were hit with a public backlash and those close to Orlando said he had warned Katy about taking part. They said: 'From day one, Orlando didn't think going on the Blue Origin mission was a good idea, and knew she would face a backlash.' DONE DEAL? Yet it was then claimed Katy - who is on tour in Australia - had told her mates their engagement was over at the start of the year, before removing her engagement ring. A source close to the couple said: 'Katy confided in friends at the start of the year that their relationship was as good as done. 'They decided to hold off on announcing anything in case things improved between them, because they are desperate to stay together for the sake of their daughter. "But they have spent barely any time together this year, with Katy on tour and Orlando working on his upcoming film Bucking Fastard in Dublin. 'She knew that taking off her engagement ring would send a clear message. 'It's been a hard year so far. They wanted to wait until the tour is over before they made their split official, although Katy has grown tired of the situation.' The couple started dating in 2016 and got engaged three years later. However, The Sun understands they had difficult conversations about their future over Christmas and in January but struggled to make a firm decision. Reps for the couple refused to comment when approached about their separation in February and again this week. 9 The KUWTK alum looked elegant in all-black attire with snazzy silver sunglasses Credit: Getty 9 Her little sister Khloe was also in on the chat Credit: Getty 9 It comes as Orlando is attending the wedding solo Credit: BackGrid 9 We reported how Katy had told her pals their nine-year partnership was over earlier this year Credit: Getty

Inside the world's only airline with 'flying chefs' cooking up Michelin-quality meals at 38,000ft - and it has even been voted 'best in Europe'
'Can you tell me how to pronounce your surname, Miss,' the onboard chef, Salih, kneeling next to me asks. He's dressed head-to-toe in chef's whites, hat and all, and chats enthusiastically about the menu which sounds as though it could have been plucked from a Michelin-starred London restaurant. We've been on board for just a few minutes and we've already been presented with glasses of champagne and soft, hot towels which smell like clementine. I'm onboard a 777-wide body to test out Turkish Airlines' Business class offerings, both short-haul and long-haul, on a whirlwind return trip from London to Tokyo via the Turkish capital. First up is long-haul. The plane has two business cabins, with seats arranged in a 2-3-2 configuration, which seems unfortunate for whoever is stuck in the middle of the three-seat rows. But the seats are big. I mean really big, with a 78-inch pitch and 22-inch width, and a screen door which offers a decent level of privacy if you're sitting next to a stranger. I'm with my husband, Dan. We're seated in 1A and 1B (always a joy) and find Denom noise-cancelling headphones that would sell for up to £400 a pop in a pocket to our right. We place all our hand luggage in the huge compartment by our feet (meaning we don't need to store anything in the overhead bins) and find slippers and a blanket on top. The red-lipped cabin crew, dressed in grey and red dresses, hand out his and hers leather amenity kits to each passenger. Mine is bright red and comes with face mist, body lotion and lip balm by the high-end Italian brand Ferragamo, as well as toothbrush, paste and ear plugs. But what really makes the experience special and different to any other business class experience is the onboard chefs. As I sip on a Tattinger (served in glasses, not plastic), they take orders from the passengers who appear to be a mix of tourists and international business travellers and seamlessly switch between English, Turkish and Japanese. The chefs are responsible for cooking and overseeing in-flight food preparation and taking passenger orders. Turkish Airlines offers this service in business class cabins on flights longer than eight hours. And, given that Turkish Airlines flies to more destinations than any other airline in the world (353 destinations and counting), that's a lot of chefs in a lot of cabins. It's 'dine on demand', so Salih asks when we'd like to eat. We go for after take-off in the hope we'll spend the rest of the flight sleeping in the sumptuous lie-flat beds. Fine dining in the skies: MailOnline's Head of Travel was impressed with the airline's culinary prowess - the brand is the only airline to have chefs on board Once we're in the air, we're given bottles of water and asked for our drink preferences. The cabin crew attach the mattresses to our seats and place padded duvets by our feet for when we're ready for some shut-eye. Then, it's onto the food. Grey tablecloths are placed on our fold-down tray tables, along with tiny fake-flamed candles. I opt for a glass of Chablis to go with my starter of Turkish mezze, which is followed by wild sea bass served with a delicious celeriac mousseline and lemon caper butter, and finished off with a mix of sticky honey baklava. It's a delicious feast and I eat every crumb. We're addressed as 'Mr Williams' and 'Mrs Sime' throughout the flight. 'Tea or coffee, Mrs Sime?,' 'More bread, Mrs Sime?', the service is attentive - but not too attentive - and the questions seem to land at the perfect time. The seats may have seen better days (the airline's business cabins are getting retrofitted this year) but they're among the comfiest beds I've experienced. They lie flat at the click of a button by our elbows, and the padded mattress, duvet and acres of space around me allow me to spend a very decent eight of the 12-hour flight sleeping. Refreshing drinks - and a decent array of fresh bread - also featured during the meal service We wake with two hours to go and are offered hot towels before trays of breakfast are brought to our tables. I go for the mango coconut smoothie, which is delicious and served with overnight oats, a fruit salad and warm croissant. It's the best breakfast I've had on board. More hot towels are offered before the captain signals it's time to land. I disembark feeling refreshed and ready to tackle one of the world's greatest cities. SHORT HAUL 'I feel like I'm about to travel to the other side of the world,' I say to Dan, as a member of the cabin crew hands us white towels and three-course menus. But we're far from doing that. In fact, we're flying just 3.5 hours, from London Heathrow to Istanbul. The 321Neo slim body seats are arranged in a 2-2 configuration, with economy set out in 3-3 behind. I tend to find flying short-haul in business a total waste of money, with all but a lack of middle seat and mediocre food and drink differentiating between the front and back cabins. But this is different. The cabin could easily rival some long-haul business offerings and must be the best short-haul business cabin in the business. No wonder it's won so many accolades in recent years. As soon as we take our seats, a member of the cabin crew appears with a colourful tray of homemade lemonade with fresh mint, sparkling raspberry juice, freshly squeezed orange juice and water, followed by a pair of headphones. As we sip on our drinks, we peruse the menu and get acquainted with our seats, which feel more like thrones. Although the seats aren't lie-flat, we both have acres of space in front and either side of us and my husband can stretch out his 6ft 1in frame. We flick through the impressive film selection with the highly-responsive console to our right and are delighted to find the IMDb rating below each film, avoiding the frantic googling of films before I switch my phone to flight mode. To my right is a large pocket where I place my laptop and passport, alongside three buttons which recline the seat back to 8 inches and push the footrest up, and a set of USB and plug points. To my left is the tray table, which pushes up slickly at the click of a button. There's no amnesty kit. But that's not to be expected when flying short-haul. Once we're in the air, we're handed more towels to freshen up and asked for our food and drink preferences. I go for the chicken eggplant and tomato salad, followed by homemade ricotta ravioli with asparagus, black olives and a parmesan sauce, and a strawberry cream roll. As we fly over Germany, we tuck into our starters and mains and are offered warm bread from a wicker basket. I go for a sesame baguette, which I use to mop up the salad and creamy ravioli sauce. Even the butter is fancy, presented chilled in a little ramekin. Again, it's delicious and as food as any fancy London restaurant. The other passengers appear to be a combination of business and leisure travellers from the UK and Turkey and the crew seem to seamlessly switch between friendly and formal, Turkish and English, depending on the requirements of the passengers they're serving. Once our trays have been cleared, we're given packets of roasted Turkish hazelnuts, more hot towels and offered more drinks. The flight goes by in a flash. And, before we know, we're touching down in Istanbul and reluctantly disembarking, discussing how, hands down, it has to be the best short-haul flight we've ever experienced. We spend as much time during our 1.5 hour layover in the airline's hugely impressive lounge, where guests play golf (yes, really), sip on hot brews in the dedicated tea room and pursue the museum. It's smart but full of character and like no other lounge I've ever been - but what makes it really stand apart is the food. Every station is overflowing with local Turkish treats and dishes, which makes you feel as though you're walking through a souk. We drag ourselves away from the lounge reluctantly - a very rare occurrence - when we're told it's time to board for the second leg of our journey.

Orlando Bloom snapped with Kim Kardashian in first pics after Katy Perry 'split'
Orlando Bloom - who has reportedly just split from fiancée Katy Perry - was seen chatting with Kim Kardashian and sister Khlo Kardashian after arriving for Jeff Bezos' wedding Orlando Bloom has broken cover in new photos after reports he has split from Katy Perry. The newly single actor, 48, was seen chatting with Kim Kardashian and sister Khlo Kardashian as they rub shoulders with expected guests at the nuptials of the Amazon billionaire businessman and bride Lauren Sánchez. Jeff, 61, and Lauren, 55, have travelled to Italy where they are expected to swap vows in front of an A List crowd in the romantic city of Venice. Kardashians star Kim, 44, and her sister Khloe, 40, are among those due to attend - and they looked excited to see a reportedly newly single Orlando, 48, arriving for the wedding too. Kim flashed a beaming smile as she stepped towards the Lord of the Rings icon while wearing dramatic sunglasses. She continued to grin as they stepped to the side together, seemingly to engage in an animated conversation. Younger sister Khloe pouted beside the sex tape star as she appeared to be overlooked by the father-of-two. The wedding guests were matching in black as the countdown of Jeff and Lauren's wedding continues. The wedding is set to take place over the weekend of June 27 - with a string of celebrations around and leading up to the big day as famous friends arrive in the Italian city to celebrate. But not everyone in the area is happy about the nuptials. Furious locals have targeted the wedding to accuse Jeff of not paying enough taxes considering he is one of the richest men in the world. Demonstrations against the businessman have even led to a last minute change in wedding venue after it was previously cited to take place in Cannaregio - a popular and central nightlife area. Reuters reports: "For weeks some local residents and pressure groups have been complaining that the event will turn the scenic city of gondolas and palazzi into a private amusement park for the rich, and threatened peaceful blockades. "After the wedding ceremony, whose location and exact date remain secret, although it is expected to be between Thursday and Saturday, some 200-250 VIP guests from show business, politics and finance will now head to a hall of the Arsenale, a vast 14th-century complex in the eastern Castello district." Amid the marriage excitement has come news of heartbreak - with reports suggesting Orlando and Katy have broken up after nine years together. The couple first embarked on a romance in 2016, became engaged in February 2019 and welcomed a daughter, Daisy, in August 2020.
