Enjoy the best Japanese shaved ice at a store that only pops up for three months in summer!
A new product on the market contains concentrate to make two of Japan’s most popular popsicles at home.
These shops also showcase the immense variety of flavors and ingredients that go into the making of individual shaved ice recipes.
In a country famous for its expensive watermelons, this is a drink we’ve long been waiting for.
