3. Try some cool, chewy shaved ice

When it comes to Japanese sweets that are commonly eaten in summer in Japan, there are kuzumochi and warabimochi, which have a smooth texture and a refreshing appearance.

Kuzumochi is a type of mochi made from wheat flour, from which gluten has been removed, and which is then fermented with lactic acid, leaving behind what is called "ukiko."

Kuzumochi has been popular in Japan since the Edo period, but what's interesting is that the ingredients used to make it differ between regions such as Kanto and Kansai, resulting in different flavors.

Warabimochi is a traditional Japanese sweet that is said to have been eaten since the Heian period. Recently, warabimochi made with potato or lotus root starch has become more common. Its smooth texture makes it the perfect Japanese sweet for summer.

Kurazukuri Honpo

Kuzu ice is a cool ice dessert made from kudzu (arrowroot) and has a chewy, satisfying texture.

If you eat it frozen, it will have a crunchy texture, but if you leave it for about 15 minutes before eating, it will have a chewy texture, so you can eat it at your preferred softness.

There are five flavors to choose from: grape, mandarin orange, green apple, strawberry, and Setouchi lemon, each with a different taste.

Crumbed ice: 400 yen each (tax included)
