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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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!
