Nikko Natural Ice Shaved Ice Specialty Shop
Nippori “Himitsudo”

Located in Yanaka, Taito City, Tokyo, “Himitsudo” is one of Tokyo’s foremost shaved-ice specialty shops, using “Nikko Natural Ice” carefully crafted by the Mitsuboshi Himuro icehouse. The fluffy ice, meticulously shaved to order with a traditional hand-cranked machine, melts the moment it touches your mouth, delivering an exquisite texture. Paired with additive-free, house-made syrups made from seasonal fruit, it offers a luxurious dessert experience that overturns conventional notions of shaved ice. An acclaimed establishment selected for Tabelog’s “Sweets TOKYO Top 100,” it boasts overwhelming popularity, selling around 500 servings a day.
 
 

Commitment to Natural Ice

We use natural ice crafted by the long-established icehouse 「三ツ星氷室」 in Nikko City, Tochigi Prefecture. The high-purity ice, naturally frozen over about two weeks during the severe winter cold, is characterized by few impurities and exceptional clarity.

The Appeal of Handmade Syrups

All syrups are handmade in-house. We maximize the deliciousness of seasonal fruits, offering a natural sweetness with no additives. The total number of menu items has exceeded 100, with plenty of seasonal and daily specials.
