Smoke billows from the shaved ice! "It's like an illusion" - a new chilled dessert from a popular cafe (Moji Ward, Kitakyushu City)
Hello. I'm Ayu.latte, a writer who loves cafes. I've been to over 1,600 cafes so far.
This time, I went to a cafe in the Mojiko Retro district because I heard they had introduced some really Instagrammable cool sweets ♡
You can also visit the "night cafe" on weekends! "gifff" is a popular Korean-style cafe in the Mojiko Retro District (Higashihonmachi, Moji Ward, Kitakyushu City)
Gifff is a Korean-style cafe located in the Mojiko Retro district, a tourist destination in Moji Ward, Kitakyushu City.
The exterior and interior of the store are all white, which makes it very cute.
The pure white space is accented with primary colors such as yellow and blue. Every part of the space looks picturesque, making it a very popular space.
Also, it's open until 1:00am on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, so you can use it as a cafe in the evenings too.
Previously, ordering was done by filling out an order form, but now you order using your smartphone.
The photos are just too beautiful! This year's theme is "-79℃ Shaved Ice"
What I ordered this time was the shaved ice that was launched on July 1, 2023! Apparently, it's "a shaved ice that's not only fun to taste but also fun to present," which is exciting!
When the shaved ice is brought to your seat, there is a glass with "something" in the center.
Pour the liquid into the glass...
Plumes of white smoke start to overflow!
The contents of the glass are actually dry ice! The liquid poured in is water. By combining the two, the water turns into white smoke that billows out.
This year's gifff shaved ice theme is "-79℃ shaved ice"! As the name suggests, the smoke coming out of the -79℃ dry ice creates a cool sensation, making this a really fun shaved ice!
So you don't miss your chance to take a photo, be sure to have your camera ready and spray water at your own pace.
From here, we will introduce all three types.
It's hard to decide which of the three flavors to choose ♡ Enjoy "shaved ice" with a drink
This is "Iceberg Strawberry" (2,000 yen with drink).
The set includes around 10 Amaou strawberries, which are purchased during their peak season and frozen.
The balance between the tartness of the strawberries and the sweetness of the homemade syrup is just right.
Frozen strawberries and shaved ice give you the ultimate cooling sensation♡
This is the "Iceberg Peach" (2,000 yen with drink).
It comes with a whole, very sweet and juicy fresh peach.
The homemade peach sauce brings out the gentle sweetness of the fruit pulp, making it an indulgent treat.
This is "Iceberg Mango" (2,300 yen with drink).
It is served with fresh mango. It is made with a whole delicious, ripe mango, making it the height of luxury!
It's also topped with plenty of homemade mango sauce! This shaved ice is rich and sweet, a must-try for mango lovers.
The set comes with one drink from the following options: coffee, black oolong tea, black tea, or cafe latte. You can also choose between hot or iced.
For an additional 150 yen, you can also change your drink to milk tea, lemon tea, lemon squash, kiwi and pineapple squash, grapefruit squash, mango squash, caramel latte, white mocha, hazelnut latte, Aomori apple juice, or plum kelp tea.
Shaved ice will be available until September 30, 2023. If you're interested, hurry up!
The cool-looking "-79℃ shaved ice" will help you get through the hot summer. (Text by ayu.latte)
