Hawaiian
A block of ice shaved to snow-fine crystals, drenched in flavoured syrups, served over a base of azuki beans, ice cream, or haupia cream. Mochi balls and condensed milk on top. Matsumoto Shave Ice (Haleʻiwa, est. 1951) is the institution. Wailua Shave Ice (Kauaʻi), founded by Brandon Baptiste, has elevated the form with house-made fruit syrups. Uncle Clayʻs uses only local fruit.
