The BEST 5 Kakigori – Shaved ice (Japanese Traditional Summer Dessert, Kyushu & Okinawa)

english list

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.

On this page, we picked the best Kakigori from Kyushu & Okinawa regions, a total of 9 prefectures. Why don’t you try this Japanese summer dessert when you travel there?
