I'm not a fan of the texture of kakigori; so I am most grateful to the Persians - or whoever it was - that first improved the recipe by adding milk/cream to make the world's most important food group: gelato/ice cream!

Ice cream definitely hits a different spot. Another summer dessert post may be required...

One of the startling kakigoori offerings I noticed was natural ice brought from the Japanese Alps hundreds of kilometers away in a retro shop in Kashiwa City, Chiba Prefecture. It's long gone but I wonder if any other shops do this closer to the Alps or around....
