About this place
At delish, half the fun of ordering shaved ice is choosing a flavour. Options range from strawberry espuma, made with a 100% strawberry sauce and light espuma, to rum raisin with rum-soaked raisins and homemade condensed milk, and a combination of sake lees, amazake and mascarpone. The choices span tangy fruit and the flavours of fermented ingredients. Reviewers have praised the ice’s fluffy texture, as well as the milky flavour paired with the rum raisins.
Other choices include a paste of avocado and soy milk with restrained sweetness, topped with fresh caramel and condensed milk, and kuromitsu kinako (brown sugar syrup and roasted soybean flour). The meal menu is just as varied, with curry, biryani and ramen. The chicken biryani combines basmati rice with chicken, nuts and raisins; a special version comes with tandoori chicken and homemade achar. For ramen, try the shoyu soba, made with a whole Hinai-jidori chicken broth and a special soy sauce tare. It comes with Kujo spring onions, extra-thick menma bamboo shoots and Iberico pork confit, with a seasoned egg made from Nagoya Cochin eggs available as an addition.
One diner who visited on a curry day said they were also tempted by the shaved ice and biryani. The menu is reported to change from day to day, so if there’s a particular dish you have in mind, check the day’s information on the official Instagram account before setting out.
