July 25 is "Day of Shaved Ice". It seems that it comes from the place where Natsugoori, a nickname for shaved ice, is spoken with 7,2,5!
Although it is a short period from today to July 31st (Tuesday), you can enjoy shaved ice of natural water from Nikko at Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Store.
The place where natural ice made by human hands in winter is stored until the summer shipping time is called "ice room", and it is said that there were nearly 100 houses in the early Showa era. However, due to the improvement of technology, the demand for natural ice has been reduced, and it has been affected by global warming and the destruction of the natural environment, and now there are only one in Chichibu and Karuizawa and three in Nikko.
Thin sectional shaved ice that can only be made with block ice, which is called "horny ice" unique to natural ice, is a fluffy mouthfeel than it looks. It has a soft texture!
The recommendation of the shop is "Tochiotome Strawberry". Of course, the strawberry syrup of Meijiya, which I always eat, is also delicious, but this Tochiotome strawberry has a gentle taste like a jam. I see, it goes well with natural ice!
For a limited time, it is a store opening in one corner under the Depa, but please take this opportunity to try it. You may not be satisfied with "Garigari-kun" anymore (that's delicious, but laugh)!
At the food collection on the first basement floor of the Nihonbashi Mitsukoshi Main Building
Limited until July 31st (Tuesday).
This is "Tochiotome Strawberry" 840 yen.
