Kakigori syrups

The syrup is what transforms kakigori from plain shaved ice into a Japanese dessert experience. In Japan, syrup selection is taken seriously — flavors are seasonal, regional, and often deeply tied to memory. Our kakigori syrup collection reflects that diversity, bringing together classic Japanese flavors alongside popular modern varieties.

Kakigori syrups are not ordinary fruit syrups. They're formulated specifically for shaved ice: thin enough to seep through every layer, concentrated enough to deliver full flavor in every spoonful. The result is an even, saturated color and taste throughout the entire bowl — not just on top.

Our selection covers the essential Japanese flavors — matcha, strawberry, lemon, melon, blue hawaii, cherry blossom — as well as more unusual options for those who want to experiment. All syrups in this collection are compatible with any kakigori machine, whether manual or electric.

Syrups pair naturally with kakigori toppings such as condensed milk, red bean, and mochi — the traditional combination that defines Japanese kakigori at its finest.
