27 Best Things to Do in Tokyo

"The clean-lined, slate-grey interior of this kakigori ice specialist sets off the ebullient shaved ice creations of pâtissier Miho Horio. Formerly of two-Michelin-starred restaurant Florilege, Horio is one of the young chefs elevating the sweet treat to new heights of refinement. She carefully adjusts the blade of her ice machine to shave blocks of ice—made with spring water from Nikko, north of Tokyo—into fluffy, feathery flakes. Shaping the shavings into a delicate mound, she adds fresh fruit and toppings such as homemade syrups, compotes, and foams. Her signature parfait showcases sweet azuki red beans—the classic kakigori topping for which the café is named—paired with cream and flecks of meringue. Seasonal offerings include salted cherry blossoms with fresh strawberries in spring, and blood orange dusted with grated Amazonian cacao in early summer." - Anna Chittenden, Melinda Joe

This was an absolutely fabulous experience. The polite staff, ambiance, decor, and delicious shaved ice were a highlight of this year's trip to Japan. The showmanship of the culinary creation only added to the experience and watching the chef use a cooking torch on shaved ice was a fun as the shaved ice was delicious. We also really appreciated the reservation system that kept the experience intimate even though we had to wait in the Tokyo summer heat for our reserved time. They're honestly isn't anything the staff could have done better in my opinion, truly exceptional. This is easily recommended as a must-do experience in Tokyo.

This is absolutely one of my favourite places in Tokyo. Their kakigoris are absolutely unique, an absolute work of art. They have a different menu every week/ day. The mix of flavours and textures they propose are extraordinary and unusual. Booking is highly recommended and it is so competitive to get a spot. Last minute bookings often open up in the late afternoon slots (4:45) and if you are a walk in this is a good time to give it a try. Super small interiors with less than 10 seats. The chef used to work as a pastry chef in a Michelin star restaurant and has ventured in this incredible successful new parlour. I have been visiting this place since 2022 and I have never been disappointed. My favourite flavours are all the meringue based ones.

AMAZING! Make a reservation through their website, it is very worth it. I was worried that the portion was too big, but honestly it was not enough! It is very easy to eat, light and refreshing. I got a seasonal item with banana, and it was filled with bananas, some kind of caramel, and cream. It was so balanced, sweet with a hint of bitterness to cut through the sugar. My husband got the original red bean, and it had red beans, and mochi in the center! We also got tea and french toast. This was an amazing dessert experience and I can’t wait to come back 😊🩷

It's impossible to describe the wizardry taking place, but being able to witness it mere feet away only adds to the mystique. We were plenty satisfied with the Adzuki and Meringue, and Tomato and Strawberry. Each was layered with flavor and texture that made each bite sensational. The energy spent securing a reservation is worth it. You will not be disappointed.

Reservation Needed!!! Went there awhile back but hands down the best kakigori I’ve had so far the creativity and the taste were there the menu change daily make sure to get their seasonal menu. Everything was made to perfection did ordered sweet potato and chiboust (first picture) and princess rose and strawberry (second picture) everything was sooo good but the sweet potato one is my favourite you can get all the flavour and textures in just one bowl which is amazing. I also recommend getting tea on the side as well.

Came across this well raved Michelin snow ice and looking forward to try! During preparation, it seems like there is nothing special, in fact it feels sinful with a lot of layers of cream, syrup and meringue, and it seems very big. However, when I eat more and more, I started loving it. I wasn’t jelat, and the ingredients seems to blend very well with each other! It’s quite an experience for fusion modern dessert like this and I would recommend to people who have spare time.

Absolutely delicious and amazing dessert spot. We made reservations online to ensure we could go twice before we left Japan. Ignore the ignorant people leaving reviews without doing the research or complaining about the cost. If you can’t read up online and reserve or want a cheaper dessert, go to 7/11. As an experienced chef, I could see the effort and skill going into every detail going into each one that they make, and the balance between sweetness, textures and flavour is impeccable. I’d rate this higher if I could.

It's really a small shop with like 10 seats... But their shaved ice is really one of the best I've ever had. I also though their French toast was unexpectedly good, and definitely more interesting than the shaved ice itself..
