Asami Reizou - Nagatoro

Worth the detour here on route to Tokyo from Gunma. The Asami’s Super Special with the wasanbon syrup and 3 types of paste red bean, green bean and white bean, is the one to order. The paste were all so silky smooth and the wasanbon syrup wasn’t too sweet. It felt like I was eating off a snowy peak mountain!

Most popular shaved ice shop in Nagatoro. Their ice is not made by freezer. They use natural ice. So when you eat it don’t need to bite like as general shaved ice. It will be naturally melt in your mouth. Price is pretty expensive even though just shaved ice. This is only negative point.

Came here on mid September 2022 around noon. We didn't have to wait for long even though there was 4 groups in front of us. Our kakigori came right after we ordered it (less than a minute). IMO overall the kakigori tasted nice but rather pricey.

About as pricy as Thailand’s “After You” shaved ice, which is a rich flavored decorative one, but this one here gives a different sensation. Natural cave ice made of super soft water provides smooth silky texture I never experienced before. Worth a try.

Amazing mocha favor with red bean, the shaved ice was given full of the bowl. Mocha taste is really good, also offered condensed milk. Even though a little bit pricey, but it’s a cozy place to take a break and have afternoon tea. Ice bowl price around 1300~1700yen, drinks around 600~800yen.
