All you need to do is put in the ice block and turn. You get to have full control over the speed of the spinning ice cylinder and can watch as the sharp blade gently shaves off paper-thin slices of ice into the bowl below. Pour some flavored syrups or fruit purees on top and dessert is served! You can find lots of great recipes here on our site or save some time and buy ready to use syrups. This beautifully designed retro style Japanese Kakigori shave ice maker will bring the style of Showa era Japan into your home.
