Fluffy Shaved Ice -AJISAI-

Only available in early summer, this shaved ice is made with smooth, impurity-free ice from Tachikawa’s Fukushima Hyoshitsu Icehouse.
The clear ice is colored with a cooling syrup made with butterfly pea herbal tea. When 100% Hachijo Island lemon juice is gently poured on top, the deep blue spreads into the purple for a magical and fantastical transformation. Ice cream using Tachikawa-grown blueberries is hidden inside the ice, and bubbles scented with perilla leaves and lemon are delicately layered on top, like clouds floating in the early summer sky. The creation is accented with coconut-flavored meringue cookies for a delicate appearance like a hydrangea.
Fun for your eyes and surprising for your taste buds, this shaved ice is a treat for all five senses.
