Kamikura Shaved Ice Returns on June 5th

Every year as summer approaches, Kamikura receives numerous inquiries asking, 'Is the shaved ice back this year?' Answering that demand once again, sales for 2026 will begin on June 5th (Friday). While maintaining their unwavering commitment to ingredients, this year's offering has evolved with the addition of new toppings.

Why it is loved as a summer delight Essential to Kamikura's shaved ice is 'Misato Himuro,' pure ice made from natural water pumped from 150 meters underground in Mie Prefecture. Slowly frozen, this ice shreds like soft snow and dissolves instantly upon reaching the tongue, creating a texture rarely found elsewhere. Repeat customers look forward to this experience every summer.

Syrups include Shizuoka's 'Tenku no Matcha®' and 'Tenku no Hojicha®'. They continue to use Hokkaido condensed milk made exclusively from Hokkaido-grown beet sugar, maintaining their ingredient standards.

New toppings this year In addition to fan favorites like 'Strawberry Shaved Ice' and 'Matcha Kintoki Shaved Ice,' new toppings are joining the lineup:

- Black Sesame Warabimochi (New) - Matcha Kinako Warabimochi (New)

Enjoy the chewy, melting texture of warabimochi within the cold ice. This combination brings a new dimension to the shaved ice. Classic toppings such as Shiratama (rice cakes), Hokkaido azuki beans, Hokkaido condensed milk, and Kinako warabimochi remain available for custom orders.
