Cool Japanese Treat on a Hot Summer Day
Kakigori is the best treat on a hot summer day. It's really something simple - shaved ice with some flavoring or topping. My favorite is azuki, which is smashed sweet red beans over the shaved ice.
The other day, I treated myself to this treat at the Oasis Cafe near where I live.
If you are in Shizuoka, I highly recommend this cafe.

That is an interesting looking treat!
I remember kakigori from my visit. It was wonderful!
I love shaved ice with azuki and maccha.
I love shaved ice too.
After reading this blog, I realized something important.
【I haven't eaten shaved ice at a shop for over ten years.😨】
Maybe I was feeling like I bought a cup of shaved ice sold at the store and ate it. In Japan, supermarkets and convenience sell shaved ice in cups.
I want to go to a shop to eat shaved ice this summer.
My favorite shaved ice is Uji-Macha-Kintoki.
Add rich matcha sauce to the red bean shaved ice that Pamela ate, and ttopped with vanilla ice cream and shiratama.
Ahem, this is a Japanese sweet I have never got a liking for. It is simply too cold for me. Please have my portion, too!
Looks delicious!
That looks delicious!
