You can enjoy it with syrup with nostalgic taste such as melon, orange, Hawaiian blue.

A popular shop with a history of over 300 years on the approach to Ise Jingu. The summer-only "Akafuku Mochi" is a novel dish in which a special Akafuku Mochi appears when the ice covered with matcha honey is broken. The harmony of cool ice and honeydew is soothing to the tired body.

A resting place on an open terrace on a remote island surrounded by coral reefs. The menu of shaved ice is abundant, and there are about 15 types including mango and shikuwasa. All of them are colorful and full of flavors, and they have a nostalgic taste like I ate during the summer vacation when I was a kid.

● 2nd place Parlor Minpika (Hateruma Island, Okinawa Prefecture)


A popular parlor on Hateruma Island. You can enjoy drinks and light meals while gazing at the blue sea of Hateruma. "Black honey special" is recommended on hot days. The sweetness of brown sugar, condensed milk, and soybean flour wraps around your tongue. It goes well with beer.
