Kakigori Machine Black Swan

Compact manual professional kakigori machine — cast iron body, stainless steel blade

The Black Swan is the compact entry point in the Ikenaga Iron Works professional range. At 7 kg, it is significantly lighter and more portable than the SI-8B while retaining the same cast iron construction, stainless steel blade system, and genuine kakigori shaving quality that the brand is known for.

The hand crank gives direct tactile control over shaving speed and ice temperature. No power outlet required: the Black Swan operates anywhere, making it particularly well-suited to outdoor markets, festival stalls, food trucks, and pop-up events where portability is a priority.

Output is approximately 700g of shaved ice per minute, translating to 25-35 bowls per hour in a live service context. For higher-volume operations requiring 50+ bowls per hour, see the SI-8B or our electric professional machines.

Compatible accessories
