The shaved ice store in Toyama, where my grandparents lived, was a model for my own shaved ice store, and I wanted to create a gathering place like that," said Mr. Ikeda, the owner. When he was thinking about what to do after returning to Japan while studying abroad, the shaved ice store of his memory came to mind. The store's calm interior is an extraordinary space where you can enjoy shaved ice with a view of the courtyard. Currently, only shaved ice is offered, but the store plans to expand its menu in the winter to include pancakes, which were also popular at the previous store.
