The rainy season is over - "Natural Ice" shaved ice at Ibaraki Marche Cafe

1. July 23, 2014 12:00

Today, the "Declaration of the end of the rainy season" came out. Well, the rainy season starts even if the "declaration" is issued or not, but it is scary to imprint that it will not be a full-fledged summer arrival unless the "bui season declaration" is issued. Speaking of "summer", it is still "shaved ice". I was worried about this "Ibaraki Marche"'s "natural ice shaved ice" every time I stopped by Senttle, a bread specialty store. Just looking at the signboard that seems to be delicious until now with bad timing, I put it in today. The restaurant part has a lot of space, but just after lunch time is over, the state of "chartered". I wonder if it's such a luxury!

 Natural ice is sent directly from Ibaraki every day. There are three types, "strawberry, tea, and mango", and today we made "Hokota Strawberry Shigure" 580 yen. This "Hokota Strawberry Shigure", which is filled with freshly shaved ice, has a handmade syrup of ripe strawberries, and the strawberries in the syrup can still see grains. It's an impression that it's handmade. As you eat shaved ice, there is a part where the ice sticks together and hardens, but because of natural ice, you do not encounter this lump until the end. Smoothly, squashing continues to the last spoon. It's a great surprise for shaved ice lovers. "Sashima tea Sansai Shigure" is so-called Uji Kintoki, but here we use "Sarushima tea" from Ibaraki. "Sarushima tea" is well known, so I asked, "I want you to write it in kanji." If there are many people who can't read it, just touch ruby and it's going to be a topic instead. Lunch and dayners using ingredients from Ibaraki, which are blessed with seafood such as soba and pork, as well as shaved ice, seem to be popular. "I brought it to Ibaraki's most delicious Toko Ginza" is the phrase of Ibaraki Prefecture antenna shop "Ibaraki Marche". It's going to be a hot summer again this year. I have a feeling that the day of going to "natural ice" will continue.
