・Honki Shoga (serious ginger)
When you actually take a bite, a gentle milk-based sweetness spreads across your mouth at first, but it is soon followed by the crisp heat of ginger from behind. The balance is striking, yet somehow a clean savory taste lingers in the finish.

・Honki Shoga (serious ginger)
The ginger syrup has a slight kick, just like the name suggests, making it a seriously bold ginger flavor. The sweetness of the cream and the texture of the pulpy lemon add plenty of flavor and texture accents, so it never gets boring. I was impressed by how well they pulled together the tricky combination of ginger and kakigori (shaved ice).

• Nara-zuke (pickled melon) and kuromitsu (brown sugar syrup) kinako (roasted soybean flour) shaved ice
The Nara-zuke had the usual kind of flavor, but I kept eating the sweeter parts and then going back to the Nara-zuke and thinking, wow, salty, over and over. The Nara-zuke inside, on the other hand, was dressed with mirin and had just the right flavor. It tasted great together with the anko (sweet red bean paste).

・Rich matcha and kokuto (brown sugar) cream shaved ice
They repeatedly shaved the ice and poured on the matcha sauce, so there was hardly any part without matcha even while eating it. The kokuto cream also worked really well and made it amazing!!

・Yuzu matcha
The matcha cream and syrup were more pleasantly bitter than I expected. Combined with the sweet yuzu sauce, they came together into a nicely mellow flavor. Inside was sweet miso cream, and its perfect sweet-salty balance was so good! It was shaved ice that left me satisfied all the way to the last bite.

・Sansho (Japanese pepper) hojicha (roasted green tea) caramel
I ordered the sansho hojicha caramel! The sweetness of the caramel, the roasted aroma of the hojicha, and the numbing kick of the sansho go perfectly together! Tsukisome's portions are on the smaller side and the flavors are often light, so it's easy to finish in no time!
