Refreshing Kakigori: The New Summer Flavors from Kamakura Confectionery

Experience the Evolution of Kakigori

This summer, Kamakura Confectionery introduces an exciting new lineup of kakigori, the popular Japanese shaved ice dessert. Scheduled to launch on June 6, 2025, these treats have been entirely revamped to elevate the essence of Japanese sweets. Each component, from the ice itself to the syrup and condensed milk, has been meticulously updated to showcase the finest quality ingredients.

Quality Ingredients Just for You

Kamakura's kakigori stands out thanks to the use of 'Junrin Mizusato Ice,' crafted from natural spring water sourced from 150 meters underground in Mie Prefecture. This ice is meticulously frozen over a longer period, resulting in crystal-clear purity and a refreshing taste. Each bite melts effortlessly in your mouth, allowing you to appreciate the intrinsic flavor of the ice, a remarkable experience for all.

Indulge in Aromatic Syrups

All syrups this year are handmade in-store, featuring the rare Shizuoka tea leaves known as 'Tenku no Matcha®' and 'Tenku no Hojicha®.' Crafted thoughtfully to meet the daily variations in temperature and humidity, these syrups bring a burst of flavor that enhances the overall experience:

- Matcha Syrup: Fragrant and rich, offering a delightful taste of premium matcha.
- Hojicha Syrup: Smooth and nutty, creating a perfect balance that complements the kakigori exquisitely.

Sweetened with Hokkaido Condensed Milk

Finishing off the dessert is the high-quality condensed milk made from 100% sugar beets from Hokkaido. Its refined and mellow sweetness pairs beautifully not only with the matcha and hojicha but also with a variety of fruity syrups. This natural sweetness makes it a safe choice for families, ensuring a refreshing aftertaste at the end of your treat.

A Diverse Array of Syrups

In addition to the classic matcha and hojicha, Kamakura offers a wide range of syrup flavors to satisfy every palate:

- Homemade Kuromitsu Kinako
- Original Black Sesame
- Fresh Strawberry Syrup
- Fresh Meyer Lemon Syrup
- Additional Hokkaido Condensed Milk can be added

Sharing and tasting different flavors becomes a fun summer activity for families and friends alike!
