Atelier Sekka Snow Confectionery "Cherry Covered"
Covered with cherries!

At the Kakigori specialty store "Kakigori Kobo Yukika" in Sugamo, Tokyo, "Cherry-covered", which is limited to 20 cups a day, is offered until early July. The price is 1,250 yen.

The shaved ice at the store is made by shaving "natural ice from Mt. Fuji" made by pumping groundwater from Mt. Fuji. It has a higher density than conventional natural ice and can be shaved very thinly, so you can enjoy a more fluffy texture. * On weekdays, "pure ice" from the ice factory is also used.

Cherry covered is a product of the "covered series" of shaved ice that makes you feel as if you are eating fruit as it is. The cherries sent directly from Kahoku-cho, Nishimurayama-gun, Yamagata Prefecture are used (varieties vary depending on the day).

Uses 22 raw cherries, 10 on the bottom (without seeds), 5 on the middle (without seeds), and 7 on the top (with seeds). Raw cherries are also used for the syrup, and they are also served separately from the syrup on the top, so you can sprinkle them to your liking. It seems that you can enjoy cherries to the fullest, "I don't know if I'm eating cherries or ice."
