When i was in Japan in the summer (and grant you, that was 28 years 
ago) my favorite cool treat was something the Japanese considered 
traditional, uji kintoki kori (i think that's the romanization)

It's shaved ice with green tea syrup (and made from real matcha it 
had a bitter bite, not that wimpy stuff that often passes as green 
tea ice cream in the US), with a scoop of adzuki beans cooked with 
sugar (Japanese use adzuki beans in a number of sweets) nestled in 
the ice, and topped with a hearty dash of condensed milk.

Still miss the stuff.

I also remember having green mung bean and coconut ice cream bars 
somewhere, but i can't remember where...
