Sebastian is located just 12 minutes from Shibuya Station, and is known for having many unique kakigori flavors. One of them is the “Strawberry Shortcake,” which is a kakigori that looks exactly like a strawberry cake! The staff will make the kakigori at the counter and many customers order this mainly to watch the process of making them. Another popular menu item is the daifuku kakigori, where daifuku, a Japanese sweet made from red bean paste wrapped in sticky rice cake, is served on top of shaved ice. The chewy daifuku creates a unique harmony with the soft shaved ice, and this is something that you cannot experience elsewhere!

Ice Monster is a kakigori store that migrated to Japan, and its main branch is in Taipei, Taiwan. The extremely popular store opened in Japan in 2015. What makes Ice Monster stand out from other kakigori joints is that they create their shaved ice from flavored ice, instead of pouring syrup or other toppings on top of pure shaved ice. This gives the kakigori an extremely unique texture and rich flavor. One of their popular menu items is the "Tapioca Milktea Kakigori," where soft and chewy tapioca bubbles can be savored together with delectable cold shaved ice.
