The culinary delights of Japan aren't limited to seafood. No, there is yet another realm of deliciousness to discover: Behold, the coffee ice cream cone.

Yes, it is what it sounds like -- the sweet caffeinated elixir that helps us go, coffee, lovingly poured into a wide array of ice cream cones.

It's both brilliant and potentially sinfully addictive.

A quick search of Instagram reveals that there are a number of cafes around the world offering this delicacy as an option, but leave it to Japan's foodies to dedicate an entire business to the innovative treat.

Tokyo-based café Coffee Cone not only serves coffee in cones covered in various treats (chocolate, sprinkles, etc.), they also add a little latte art to the surface of each drink, making it nearly impossible not to photograph anything you buy there.
