Kakigōri
Kakigōri is a traditional Japanese dessert made from finely shaved ice, often flavored with sweet syrups. It is typically served in a bowl or cup and can be topped with various ingredients such as condensed milk, fruit, or sweet red beans. This refreshing treat is especially popular during the hot summer months in Japan.
The origins of Kakigōri date back to the Heian period (794-1185), where it was enjoyed by the aristocracy. Today, it can be found at festivals, street vendors, and specialty shops across Japan, making it a beloved summer snack for people of all ages.
