I'm always amazed how such beautiful tropical color will be made...









Don't miss this cooling chance when you come across this typical flag!

It says "Kaki-Gori", or shaved ice.











These local stall with flag reminds me of summer night festival when I was child.

A nice yummy adventure! :)







Oh, as speaking of childfood reminds me of another memory










This retro-flavored, ice shaving machine is "Kyoro-chan".

This cute shaped machine was quite popular for each family when I was child. :)










"Kyoro" is imitative word of "looking around". While shaving the ice, his eyes' moving like looking around!

Interesting!









This is modern type.

Making kakigori at home is a simple and easy process!










Why don't you make a Kakigori dessert at home?


You can get a canned Azuki red beans paste as suvenir in Kyoto.

We love Matcha taste with shiratama dumplings! :)
