‎𓊆ྀི Shizuoka/Shuzenji𓊇ྀི Matsuya Shoten Shaved Ice🍧 (shaved ice / 빙수 )

I stopped by this place while looking for shaved ice during a trip to Nishiizu, Shizuoka...

🍧A cafe right near Shuzenji that serves shaved ice🍧☕︎*ﾟ

●Front left: Peach shaved ice🍑💓 ¥1,580
It's filled with almond tofu, yogurt, and peach jelly? (This wasn't on the menu (⊙⊙)!!), and the peach on top is delicious!
You can add the peach jelly that comes with it to your liking!

I was torn between melon and peach, but the staff kindly advised me that the melon wasn't very sweet that day, so I should get something else. They even said they'd pair it with other fruits if I really wanted melon, so I went with the peach.☺︎

●Back right: Adult coffee shaved ice☕🤎¥1,100

It was topped with homemade Tanna milk ice cream.
The coffee is quite bitter, and pairs perfectly with the milk ice cream. 𐔌՞･·･՞𐦯
The green sauce is pistachio!!
It also has a strong flavor, and the more you pour it on, the better.

▶▶Both are shaved ice ☁️Fluffy☁ shaved ice, and they're huge!! The prices are reasonable, yet they're packed with care, and I'm curious to try their other flavors too. 🥹I think there were about five different varieties.

They also seem to offer a lunch menu starting at 11:30. ☺︎
(I think they had a curry lunch plate?)

This time, I was there for the shaved ice, so I didn't have lunch, but I'd definitely like to return for lunch!!

By the way... As the name suggests, this shop is a "shop,"
and next to the cafe area they sell local vegetables, alcohol, and homemade side dishes, making it a very warm and welcoming shop.

The interior has a warm, modern Japanese atmosphere, and each chair and table is unique and cute. 💭
Even solo diners can relax here.
It's close to Shuzenji, but a little tucked away,
and doesn't seem crowded with tourists.
It's a relaxing cafe with a calming atmosphere.
It's exactly the cafe I was looking for!! ⸜(*ˊᵕˋ*)⸝
