So popular that it's hard to make a reservation!? A shaved ice shop that's open even in winter and requires a reservation only (Umi-machi, Kasuya-gun, Fukuoka Prefecture)

Hello. I'm hicho_cafe, who introduces cafes in Fukuoka on Instagram.

Shaved ice is associated with summer, but...

We'll introduce you to some amazing shaved ice shops that are worth visiting even in winter!

Open only twice a month! Reservation-only shaved ice specialty shop "Tsukini" (Umi-machi, Kasuya-gun)

Tsukini is a shaved ice shop quietly operating in a residential area of Umi Town, Kasuya County, Fukuoka Prefecture.

The address of this restaurant is not disclosed and reservations are required!

As the name suggests, it is only open twice a month.

It's such a popular restaurant that when reservations for the following month open on Instagram, they fill up quickly.

The interior of the store has a stylish atmosphere.

It's also popular to eat outside on sunny days.

In addition to eating in, you can also take it out (reservations are required even for takeout).

Shaved ice made with carefully selected ingredients

Each shaved ice is carefully made using delicious seasonal ingredients.

It's quite filling, but by adding cream and fruit inside, it's designed to ensure you can enjoy it until the last bite.

This is a wonderful shaved ice packed with lots of delicious flavors to go perfectly with the fluffy ice.

Another great thing about it is that it does not contain any food additives such as artificial sweeteners or colorings.

Since they offer a different menu each month, there are many repeat customers who come every month.

A new kind of shaved ice

Although it will be different from the menu that will be offered in the future, for reference, I'd like to introduce the shaved ice that I had in December 2023.

Cacao x Hime Madan Shaved Ice (1,800 yen)

This special menu combines cacao-based ice made with "Amazon cacao" and Ehime's brand of mandarin oranges, "Hime Madonna," which can only be enjoyed at this time of year.

The rich taste of cacao and the sweet and refreshing aroma of Hime Madonna meant I could enjoy it all the way to the end without getting bored.

Pistachio x Raspberry Shaved Ice (2,200 yen)

Shaved ice in lovely Christmas colors.

This dish uses a generous amount of Iranian pistachios and combines them with a sauce made from French raspberries.

It was filled with homemade custard cream and crispy meringue cookies, so I was able to enjoy a variety of textures.

Hojicha brulee shaved ice (1,900 yen)

The shaved ice is topped with a generous amount of fluffy Italian meringue, which is then bruléed over a burner.

A fresh combination of Japanese and Western cuisine.

The fragrant taste of roasted green tea and the rich sweetness of the crepe crepe were addictive.

All of the shaved ice is fluffy and melts away the moment you put it in your mouth! It's delicate and luxurious like a cake, and you can really taste the deliciousness of the seasonal ingredients. I was impressed by the flavor that can only be found here.

For your reference, we will also introduce the menus that have appeared so far by season.

In the summer, shaved ice is made with luxurious seasonal fruits such as "Miyazaki ripe mango x pineapple" and "Kyoho grapes x Shine Muscat."

In the fall, they will be releasing "Honey Potato and Houjicha Shaved Ice" in collaboration with the baked sweet potato specialty store "Honey Patato."

Other items include "Black Sesame Daifuku"

Shaved ice filled with autumn flavors such as "Yame Matcha and Meringue" was available.

The shop will be closed in January 2024, but strawberry shaved ice is scheduled to be available in February.

We can't wait to see what new items will appear!

Also, they plan to increase the number of business days from March.
