🧊KAKIGŌRI🍧
One summer treat Kyōtoites cannot do without is 'kakigōri' (かき氷), a shaved-ice dessert covered in all kinds of deliciousness.
The first reference we have to kakigōri in Japan is in Chapter 42 of Sei Shōnagon's (清少納言 966-1017) 'The Pillow Book' (枕草子).
Kappa inspired kakigori.
Dark sugar flavoured kakigori, with slices of chestnut buried in the ice.
Peach kakigori...shaved ice covered in thick peach syrup and slices of fresh peach.
Bear inspired kakigori.
