六顺豆花: 爆浆芋头冰 Overflowing Yam Shaved Ice

虽然店名叫六顺豆花、可是芋头冰比豆花出名。芋头冰在台湾满街都是。但这家的特点是芋头会“爆浆”。对了、就像巧克力熔岩蛋糕一样。不过“爆浆”的效果是因为量太多积压在刨冰围墙、随着刨冰溶解裂开而渗出来。招牌的 “爆浆芋头冰”台币75元是黑糖刨冰➕芋泥➕ 四种任选材料。

分量很大、其实三到四人一份都ok。不过因为顾客多位置有限所以规定最多两人share一份。所以我们还点了黑糖面茶烧麻糬冰 （台币75元）

先说芋头冰吧。芋泥好滑顺、感觉是自然路线派所以不会那么甜。这里的芋泥也没有像一般新加坡试的orh nee 那么黏稠油腻、和黑糖冰很搭配。不过刨冰很粗很僵硬、要一直搓搓搓（还好不是plastic spoon不然一搓就断）才可以破冰。我们选择的料是花豆、薏仁、花生和黑珍珠。它没有流得像熔岩巧克力那样夸张但我宁可选择这个芋头冰当饭后甜点。

还好我们点了黑糖面茶烧麻糬冰、因为它比芋头冰更美味！我们都没有预料到原来黑糖和古早的麵茶粉是那么的搭。其实我吃不太出来麵茶粉是什么味道、因为已经和麻糬的花生粉混在一块儿。但我知道淋上去的炼乳也是另一个关键、赋予奶香之外还让口感没那么干。

黑糖面茶烧麻糬冰 

注意：需先点餐才找位子。刚开始店家很凶、因为他对排在我们前面的顾客说话还蛮不客气的、而且很不耐烦。所以我脑子里就开始计划要点什么。虽然点餐时还是有点慌（怕点错因为菜单有好几个类似的冰）但老板听出我们的口音、一开始就猜我们来自新加坡、反而好像态度瞬间变得很友善哈哈～～～

谢啦老板！

Ichonoki 甘味処いちょうの木 : Long Queue Kakigori but so Oishii

Queued for 1.5 hour and finish eating in 10min. But this small Kakigori shop in Kita Shinagawa truly has something on its sleeves as my friend and I agreed that the queue was worth it, albeit the rather unpleasant service.



Despite the limited seats of only 4 tables and one person running the entire Kakigori shop, there's more than 30 options on the menu. For once, I can proudly say that items that look colorful, CAN taste very very delicious. None of the items cost more than 800 yen and there's so much ingredients and flavors going on in every bowl. Who would have expect Ajisai to be konnyaku + matcha + mint + cornflake? Or Zunda to go with caramel coffee and bran flakes? It's sounds like a rojak but the flavor works! And so does the roaring business here.

But I guess the owner lady must be pretty satisfied with her earnings to turn down any additional orders. Strictly no additional order after the first round (this should be explicitly indicated to customers in advance). And good luck if you can get into the shop after more than hour queue.

Kooriya Pissu or Peace 氷屋ぴぃす Kakigori @ Kichijoji

The Kakigori at Peace (pee-su) can really pissed customers. No, I'm serious. Imagine arriving at 12 noon sharp when the shop opens for business, only to realize in horror that there is a written waiting list on which you have to jot your name down at the next available slot which is 6.52pm.

Perhaps that's not a problem for those who live nearby but for most, you either find something to do in between or opt for the takeaway option. So we chose to takeaway which also requires 30min of queuing time.

Takeaway options are limited and not as fanciful as eat-in flavors. But they are slightly cheaper. I'm glad we didn't wait till 6.52pm because the Kakigori were extremely normal.  And there is no other components within the ice.

There could be only 2 customers seated in the 8-seat eatery but they will not allow anyone to enter earlier. Can't understand how the business here works? Me neither.

和Kitchen かんな: Your Neighbourhood Kakigori Shop

和キッチンかんな  (Wa Kitchen Kanna) is a popular Kakigori shop in Sangenchaya that requires at least 15-min walking from the station. It sits on the 2nd level, right above top-rated boulangerie Significant Signifie, but not too difficult to be spotted with a wooden signboard at the door. What I like is that there are many flavors to choose from and the price is reasonable. Moreover, the waiting time in the queue wasn't too long on a weekend afternoon and we could chill out with the delicious bowls in spacious tables. (Not cramped counter or table seatings)

I was pleasantly surprised by the Strawberry Caramel Custard as the roasty notes of the caramel complemented the strawberries beautifully, making this a nice departure from the conventional custard or condensed milk pairing. The caramel is cleverly enhanced with kinako powder buried within. My friend preferred the "Green Custard with C" which contained chunks of "C" aka chocolate. This was the less sweeter of the two but I wished there were some beans or chestnuts fillings inside.
