A Refreshing Bowl of Tea, Born from Summer Days
On a hot summer day, after a stroll through the sun-drenched streets, we hope to offer you a moment of cool relief.
With this thought in mind, our special kakigōri (Japanese shaved ice) was born at Chasanraku.

Delicate, airy ice that melts gently in your mouth is topped with rich espuma and syrup made from carefully selected Japanese teas.

The depth of flavor and aroma evokes the experience of savoring a truly fine cup of tea.

We invite you to enjoy this new expression of a traditional tea moment—crafted with deep respect for Japan’s timeless tea culture.

FEATURES

FEATURE01

Our signature Shaved Ice with Matcha Espuma takes its inspiration from usucha, literally "thin tea" — the lightly whisked matcha traditionally served in the tea ceremony.
The smooth espuma on top reflects the delicate froth created with a bamboo whisk (chasen) in a tea bowl.

To bring out the rich umami, gentle bitterness, and refined aroma of high-quality matcha, we keep the sweetness subtle.
Please enjoy it slowly and mindfully—just like a bowl of tea savored in a peaceful tearoom.

FEATURE02

Most of the syrup and espuma used in our shaved ice is made with tea leaves sourced directly from trusted farmers.

Each producer’s heartfelt wish is to share the joy of truly delicious tea—and we at Chasanraku embrace that spirit with care, drawing out the full character of each leaf and sharing its charm with you.

FEATURE03

Our skilled craftsmen shave the ice to a soft, fluffy texture—so light it doesn’t cause brain freeze.
Each serving is carefully crafted with thin flakes of ice, so delicate they may lift with the breeze when the door opens.
Enjoy the craftsmanship born from expert technique and precise control of blade sharpness and ice temperature.

*Ice shaver used: HATSUYUKI (Chubu Corporation)

Arashiyama’s Signature:
Shaved Ice with Matcha Espuma

SHAVED ICE WITH MATCHA ESPUMA

This shaved ice is topped with smooth matcha espuma made from chilled matcha, just as it is.
The delicate froth, reminiscent of matcha whisked with a bamboo whisk (chasen), melts softly in the mouth, offering a light yet refined texture.
Its dignified flavor—perfectly balanced between umami and gentle bitterness—brings to mind the quiet satisfaction of enjoying a fine bowl of tea in a tearoom.

To highlight the true character and aroma of matcha, we keep the sweetness to a minimum.
Sweet red beans and extra syrup are served on the side, allowing you to adjust the flavor to your liking.
The shaved ice is served in a matcha bowl, so you can sip the melted tea-infused ice directly from the vessel—just as you would when finishing a bowl of tea.

We use only matcha from Tsujiki, a renowned brand based in the Shirakawa area of Uji, Kyoto—known for producing some of the highest-grade matcha in Japan.
At Tsujiki’s tea fields, the owner himself visits the farm daily, reading the environment and “conversing” with the tea trees to nurture the best leaves for the season.
Awarded the prestigious Prime Minister’s Award and many others, this master cultivator crafts matcha with remarkable depth and lingering aroma.
We invite you to savor the refined richness born from the hands of a true artisan.

For Those with a Sweet Tooth:
Shaved Ice with Matcha & Milk

SHAVED ICE WITH MATCHA & MILK

Rich matcha meets the gentle sweetness of milk espuma in this indulgent dessert—like a matcha latte in the form of shaved ice.
While our Shaved Ice with Matcha Espuma is subtly sweet, this Matcha & Milk version is crafted to be more dessert-like, offering a satisfyingly sweet treat.

The matcha comes from Mr. and Mrs. Hayashi, tea farmers in Wazuka, Kyoto.
After recovering from a serious illness in his youth, Mr. Hayashi was inspired to rethink his approach to food and the environment, leading him to pursue a more natural way of tea farming.

Using no fertilizers and relying solely on the natural nutrients of the soil, the Hayashis’ tea trees grow strong and healthy.
With no pesticides used, harvest yields are lower and timing must be carefully considered—but through daily dedication, they’ve created a way of farming in true harmony with nature.

Enjoy this moment of summer coolness, guided by the bold flavor and fragrance of tea leaves nurtured by the blessings of the earth.

Mitarashi-Inspired Shaved Ice with Japanese Black Tea Syrup

MITARASHI-INSPIRED SHAVED ICE WITH JAPANESE BLACK TEA SYRUP

A shaved ice creation inspired by the traditional sweets of Kyoto.
The green “leaf” that cradles the mochi dumplings is actually a delicate sheet made from dried white miso.
Enjoy it together with the Japanese black tea syrup, and you’ll find it evokes the nostalgic, sweet-savory flavor of mitarashi dango—chewy rice dumplings coated in a sweet soy glaze.
