If you like waffle cone ice creams, this fruity one from Haagen Dazs is a tasty one to try! It contains a mixed berry flavored ice cream and is then topped with a mixed berry flavored chocolate, and I think they pair nicely with the slightly honey-tasting cone. The product presents nicely, too -- it definitely comes across as a premium product (with a premium price tag!) IMO. According to Haagen Dazs, it's meant to emulate the feeling of a waffle plate topped with ice cream and fruit, and I think it does a decent job of that.

There are a few downsides to this product IMO, and the main one is the price. At 413 yen including tax, it's by far the most pricey ice cream I've seen from a convenience store. It's good, but there are numerous other icy treats that are just as tasty for half the price. Also, since this is a 7-11 exclusive, you can't get it at just any old convenience store. While I think most of us probably have a 7-11 not too far away, it's probably inconvenient if you're closer to a Lawson or a Famima, for instance. Tasty, but not something I'd buy again.
