To those who have seen the anime "Lucky Star", "Kaki Goori" or shaved ice should be familiar. We have this afternoon snack during summer. Today I went to a shop and there I had five types of flavor to choose from. Strawberry, melon, blue hawaii, calpis, and greentea. I chose blue hawaii. It tastes merely like syrup and is colored blue with some kind of artificial coloring agent. The same thing applies to the other flavors except calpis.The link below is the episode 5 of Lucky star. The story of shaved ice starts at 06:10.

It was above 30 degrees in the Kanto region, so many people were wanting one. Each costed just 100 yen or about 1 us dollar. If you want some milk on top of this, you should pay additional 50 yen.
