  • Kakigori is a traditional Japanese shaved ice dessert dating back to the late 1800s. Originally meant for Japan’s elite, today it’s become a summer staple for everyone. Some, like chef Aya Eguchi, still abide by ancient methods of preparation, using ice frozen naturally by winter weather. Others, like Kumiko Ishibashi, adjust their creations depending on the temperature, while chefs like Kumiko Ishibashi have been innovating on the form, developing new flavors like matcha kakigori. But regardless of the texture, flavor, or weather, kakigori is delicious in every form.

    The oldest description of shaved ice in Japan is in "Makuranosoushi"(The Pillow Book of Sei Shonagon), which is said to have been completed in 1001.
    At that time, it seemed to have been eaten with a natural sweetener extracted from a plant called “Amachazuru”(Gynostemma pentaphyllum). It was an aristocratic dessert.

    It's been like forever since I last ate this ice. These ice aren't available a lot these days, it's pretty much rare in big cities in India. I had this when I was a kid , there is this guy who used to sell this in street with his cycle ,he used to horn his bell when he was nearby my house in hot summer , as soon as we hear it me and my friends rush up as if that is the end of world to get it. It has a unique taste than the icecream selling out these days. I miss those days eating this along with my childhood friends.

    Fun grammar fact! The name of this dish is "kakigori", but since "ice" in Japanese is "kori" why isn't it called "kakikori"? It's due to "rendaku" which is when two words are merged into one word and the first sound of the second word switches to the "soft" pronunciation. In the case of "kakigori" it uses the words "kaki" ("cut/sliced") and "kori" ("ice") but due to rendaku, the "ko" in "kori" gets softened to "go" to become "gori".

    This was just a general video about kakigoori, not about gourmet kakigoori like the title says. Matcha kakigoori is not a new flavour at all, it already existed as Uji Kintoki. The topping used by chef Eguchi and the matcha cream topping looked gourmet though, and I wish more was said about that.
    Also Kumiko Ishibashi is listed twice in the summary.

      That was totally intentional. If you look at old maps, everyone spelled it Corea. But we have better things to worry about.

    In Taiwan, we also have shaved ice similar but fancier than the Japanese ones because of the Japanese influences when it took over Taiwan back in the 20th century until WW2. We put lots of fun and tasty toppings like boba, mini mochis, coconut gel, etc. It was literally my childhood when me and my mom would sit at the opening chairs in front of the lady who freshly shaved the ice with her giant shaved ice machine in the bustling open market near us, and she knew both of us well because we would eat there almost every day after school. I guess after coming to the US, I guess I took that for granted because I was very young at the time. To these days, I still make finely-grated ice with my juice blender and top it with whatever syrups and candies I like and it kinda brings back memories for me.

    That's probably the most basic shaved ice ever. Nothing gourmet about it. Want some gourmet shaved ice? Try bingsu or halo-halo.

    Shave iced in malaysia is quite famous too but there’s way more toppings like peanuts or small boba or banana. It’s called ais kacang (Ice peanut or something)

    • @krappola1

      all over south east asia from Malaysia to Singapore to Indonesia to Thailand. different fruits, red beans, palm seeds etc., most of SE Asia uses sugar melaka or the black sugar you see at boba place. This presenter is definitely ignorant of shaved ice other than the ones she sees at fairs in USA. The shaved ice in USA is not even soft .. too course. There used to be a simple one kids 50-60 years ago eat which is shaved ice ball with red, brown syrup all over.

    I want to get kakigori shaved ice from that little old-fashioned Showa-style shop from little old Ishibashi-san! That's the experience I want, the local traditional Japanese neighborhood shaved ice shop beloved by many generations of local children and adults! Looks authentic and very delicious! _Oishii!_

    Shaved ice is found all over asia. In terms of ingredients, it's similar to italian sorbet - ice with fruit ingredients, no eggs. It's like a flaky no flavor popsicle with syrup drizzled on it.
