Ice imported from Japan?
That's crazy work!
The Kakigōri must be bomb! And, it better be for the price.
Ice Days is a pop-up inside Jin Sho. Open on Sundays only from 11 am - 3 pm.
They only put two tables outside so you're at the mercy of others leaving. There's a stack of outdoor tables but only for use when Jin Sho is open.

I was so bummed that the peach was sold out. There was no IG post it was the last day of this offering and there would be limited quantities.
* Mango (Bowl-$13): https://tinyurl.com/24vuz3mk
The shaved ice was snow-like, perfectly fluffy and melt in your mouth. Great texture but sadly, there was very little of it. As we dug in, the mound of shaved ice had a huge hollow hole filled with whipped cream and coconut jelly. Served with four chucks of sweet, ripen mango and topped with toasted coconut.
We usually struggle to finish one kakigōri but this was gone in several bites so we ordered an another one.
* Strawberry (Bowl-$12): https://tinyurl.com/5dwpx4mw
Equally refreshing but also had a huge hollow hole. This one was filled with whipped cream and two QQ mochi balls. The fresh strawberries were ripe and the strawberry puree ran quite sweet.
Overall, excellent quality Kakigōri but premium baller PA pricing for the portion. The amount of actual shaved ice is a small fraction of what you receive at other dessert shops. Blame it on the tariffs, I guess. read more
