Donvier is a brand of popular Japanese-made ice cream makers, originally produced by Nippon Light Metal and distributed in the US by Virginia Beach, Virginia-based Nikkal Industries from 1984 to 1990, and currently manufactured and sold by Browne & Co. under their Cuisipro brand.^[1]^[2] The device consists of a cylindrical metal tub (with refrigerant sealed inside) that is frozen overnight.
