Japanese manual shave ice machines

Manual shave ice machines, also known as "Gara Gara" machines, are a traditional method for making shaved ice that has been used in Japan for centuries.

These machines consist of a machine with a hand-cranked blade inside, which is used to shave a block of ice into fine flakes that can be used for making desserts and drinks.

Although manual shave ice machines require more effort than their electric counterparts, many people prefer them for their nostalgic charm and the hands-on experience they provide.
