    This kakigori has a very unique texture. Made with naturally frozen spring water, this high-end shaved ice dessert is saving Japanese ice farmers’ jobs. Fewer than 10 ice farmers remain after cheap freezer-made shaved ice dominated kakigori shops for decades.

    I hear that it's shaved differently to how westerners might think, and has a consistency more like a dairyless ice cream. Sounds interesting anyway.

      Well you can see the shaving if you actually watch the video...

      @Silver Chopsticks Maybe the culture it's like sharing culture? I've always wondering and found it interesting because many japanese and hawaii culture have the the quite same thing. Like poke and sushi bowl and quite many Japanese live in Hawaii too. Maybe because it's geograpically near each other? ^^ And btw are the shave ice in Hawaii also naturally made from spring water like those kakigori in Japan?

      Maybe it's also more like because the ice is not an ordinary ice too so it's soft ! it was mentioned in this video

    This whole thing is comical. Its water with sugar syrup. You could hear the doubt in the guys voice when he was explaining the difference between this ice and that ice. Its still just ice, but if their costumers are happy, well then, thats what theyre paying a premium price for
