You just need to know where to look.

The BEST Shaved ice (Hokkaido & Tohoku)

By ninjakotan

The BEST 3-5 Kakigori – Shaved ice (Japanese Traditional Summer Dessert, Hokkaido & Tohoku)        One of the best things in Japanese summer is Kakigori, which is a traditional Japanese ice dessert served with various syrups or fruits. It is honestly the best refreshing food during Japan’s hot and humid summer. There are tons of cafes or restaurants that serve Kakigori so it is difficult to decide which one to go to. So we picked the best 3 or 5 Shaved Ice Stores for each prefecture based on the number of accesses on food reviews sites and the number of web searches. Some of them are located in parks or zoos, where you can enjoy it with your children. Why don’t you try this Japanese summer dessert when you travel to Japan? 日本的夏天最好就是配上冷冰冰的刨冰(かき氷)了。那是一種淋上各種糖漿或水果的傳統日本冰甜點。這大概是對付在日本夏季的炎熱天氣來説最好的食物吧! 在日本賣刨冰的店可説是數之不盡，要去哪一家想必也令大家頭痛。但是不用擔心，我們根據食評網站的引用次數和網絡搜索引擎的搜尋次數，為大家整理出在每個縣市精選了3至５家最佳刨冰店，當中既有在公園也有在動物園內的刨冰店，適合一家老少一起去享受！當你夏天來日本旅行時，也來試試這種冷冰冰的日本夏季特色甜點吧！   Hokkaido & Tohoku (Hokkaido, Aomori, Iwate, Miyagi, Akita, Yamagata, Fukushima) Hokkaido 1.
