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.
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.
Hello Pamela: This is my kind of treat low calorie nice and cold.

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!
