Himitsudo
ひみつ堂
Though traditionally eaten only in summer in Japan, “kakigouri” (shaved ice with sweet flavored syrup) can be enjoyed all year round at this specialist shop in Taito Ward. Shaved by hand in the old-fashioned way, the ice has an airy texture and melts delicately in the mouth. It is cut with different blades and shaving techniques depending on what best suits the season, while the densely flavored syrups are made with seasonal fruits and vegetables to a secret recipe. Visitors also get the opportunity to take in the atmospheric downtown Yanaka district.
日本の夏の風物詩であるかき氷を一年中楽しめる、台東区にあるかき氷専門店。昔ながらの手動式氷削機で削った氷は、ふわりとした食感と繊細な口どけ。季節によって刃や削り方も変えるというこだわりです。旬の果実や野菜をふんだんに使った、手作りのシロップ＝氷蜜（ひみつ）は濃厚でピュアな味わい。下町・谷中の情緒も一緒に楽しめます。
