Kakigoori o kudasai. (Shaved Ice treat please!)

Kakigoori is an wonderful treat on a Hot Day!

Kakigori is the most popular summer sweets in Japan. It is an ice shavings with sweeteners. Popular sweeteners are, strawberry, lemon, blue hawaii, melon, milk, sugar, sweet beans, and green tea.



Rino chan makes Kakigoori!! Kawaiii ne!! She is so cute!! ^^



Kakigoori is very much like a 7-11 Slushy. If you have your own ice shaver, and have access to sweeteners, you can make them at home!

and somewhere it mentioned milk as a topping. When I first saw it, I thought it was indeed ice cream, but I guess its not? Maybe you can find a video of them making that?

I was amazed to see how many kinds of syrups there are for Kakigoori.. I don't think we could find that many kinds of syrups here in the States. Someone must be making a fortune on syrups. Be a great for an idea here... but you know, I think people in the states would rather just eat sherbert or ice cream, than make their own Ice treats.

I think I'm going to wander around this weekend and find one of these. I've seen them in Chinatown but didn't know what they were.

Thank you for posting this.
