Kori Kobo Ishibashi

The name – literally ‘ice factory’ – tells you everything you need to know about this retro-style shop, in a residential area about five minutes' walk from Sangenjaya. Kori Kobo Ishibashi serves nothing but kakigori shaved ice desserts, with toppings ranging from strawberry syrup to milk tea. The small tables and chairs give it the feel of eating at a festival stall, while the antique ice machine and vintage refrigerator lend the place an undeniably old-school charm.
