Visited "Wa Kitchen Kanna" in Sangenjaya, known for its shaved ice. This time, I went for lunch using a reservation made online. The exterior suggests a naturalistic restaurant, and inside, the simple decor matches the emphasis on quality ingredients. The atmosphere is calm with soothing background music. Here's what I ordered: - Natural Shrimp Fry Set (1350 yen): Comes with two crispy shrimp and high-quality side dishes like pickles, miso soup, burdock, and mushrooms, all harmonizing well. - Mackerel Pickled in Hishio (1250 yen): Tender and flavorful mackerel with equally delicious sides. - Fried Oysters (350 yen): Crispy batter and juicy oysters, bursting with flavor. - Strawberry Milk Shaved Ice (1000 yen): Fluffy ice topped with fruity strawberry syrup and creamy milk, a delightful treat. - Grilled Sweet Potato Mont Blanc Shaved Ice (1400 yen): Adult version of shaved ice with creamy sweet potato and chestnut flavors, accompanied by crunchy toppings. Overall, both the set meals and shaved ice were delicious. The restaurant's concept revolves around "Shin Do Fuji," combining ingredients full of farmers' love with homemade fermented seasonings, resulting in dishes that truly reflect the natural flavors. The process of making shaved ice is charming, with a cute machine producing fluffy, round servings. Ended with payment by credit card, thoroughly enjoyed the meal, and will definitely return. Thank you for the feast!

Arrived around 12:20 on a holiday. Didn't have a reservation but was seated right away. By the way, the reservation I saw the day before was only available from 4:00 p.m. The restaurant was about 70% full. Ordered the following (tax included): - Peach Almond: 1,900 yen As the name suggests, it's shaved ice with peach and almond flavor. The compote of golden peaches on top and the almond syrup throughout are delicious. As you eat further down, citrus syrup emerges, adding a sweet and sour taste. There's also peach compote at the bottom, so you can enjoy the taste of peaches until the end. It wasn't too sweet and was refreshing. It's a popular shaved ice shop, but it was good that I could get in without a reservation. Since the limited menu changes frequently, I want to go again.

I'm glad I could make a reservation for Saturday at 4:00 PM! The menu has so many options, it's hard to decide. I wanted to try the "Grapes and Roasted Green Tea," but it's sold out. 😂 I decided on the Peach Almond instead! Since it's peach season, it has a lot of almond flavor. When you keep eating, an orange-like citrus sauce appears, and the completely melted state with almond is delicious. Also, the blackcurrant is amazing! Inside, there's a jam-like sauce that's rich. The tiramisu is just like tiramisu – reliably delicious!

I went to Access Tokyu Bus yesterday, taking the Shibu 31-34 routes from bus stops 21, 22, or 23 at the west exit bus terminal of Shibuya Station. I got off at "Jieitai Chuo Byoin Iriguchi" and it was just a 1-minute walk. It was a rainy day, and although I had made a reservation, it took 30 minutes until my order arrived. I wondered if I had been forgotten. The second cup came relatively quickly. The combination of the tartness of the BC Kiwi syrup and milky yogurt was excellent. The ice had a soft melt, shaved at the right temperature for the lower part and with a thicker texture for the upper part, giving a fluffy feel. The attention to detail allows you to enjoy the icy sensation until the end. Adding extra syrup as a topping would make it even better, especially for those who like it. Although you can add strawberries as a topping, unfortunately, Kiwi was not possible. I had my doubts about Tiramisu, recalling a previous experience at a renowned shaved ice shop, but this time, just looking at it raised my expectations. The authentic mascarpone cream makes it taste like enjoying a delicious Tiramisu. It was really delicious. Kan'na is now one of my top one or two favorite flavors. I'm thinking of going there for a meal and shaved ice next time. Thank you for the treat!

Wow, I made it! It's so great that you can make reservations here! It's a bit of a walk from Sangenjaya, but it makes the shaved ice taste even better. The menu changes a lot, but I had a tough time choosing between Tiramisu and the summer-exclusive Kiwi flavor! I hesitated a lot with the purple sweet potato flavor too. But going for Kiwi was definitely the right choice! They also have yogurt, so it's the first time I've been able to eat until the very end without getting tired of it! It really lives up to its high ratings! I've had Tiramisu many times elsewhere, but this one, especially towards the end, tasted just like a cocoa ice drink, so much so that I could finish it! That was surprising! When it comes to shaved ice, I used to think of Shinsuindo in Lake Kawaguchi, but the ice here is completely different. If you're in Tokyo, this might be the place! I'll definitely come back again!

The famous shaved ice shop was quite far from the station, about a 20-minute brisk walk from Sangenchaya Station. I had made a reservation online and headed there after work, but it was a bit of a distance. It's advisable to go with plenty of time because if you're more than 10 minutes late for the reservation or if everyone isn't there, it gets canceled. On this day, there were train delays on my way back, making me quite nervous, but I just made it in time. As for the menu recommendations, the staff suggested BC, Luxurious Rich Purple Sweet Potato Milk, and Tiramisu. So, my companion and I ordered BC (¥1,350) and Tiramisu (¥1,150) respectively. The dishes were served in about 5 minutes. Starting with Tiramisu, the shaved ice part was exactly like Tiramisu. Even when eaten with the ice, it wasn't watery, and it felt like you were drinking Tiramisu. The flavor was solid, and there was Mascarpone cheese in the center of the ice, which also complemented well. It's indeed a well-reputed place, and it's delicious! However, there wasn't a particularly surprising element, and towards the end, I felt a bit tired of the taste. I took a bite of BC. Personally, I found it more delicious than Tiramisu. It was more of a shaved ice with cheese acidity than a sweet dessert. Unlike Tiramisu, which reproduces the cake so well, BC is a unique dish, so there was a sense of excitement. The taste is well-balanced and delicious! While preferences may vary, I highly recommend this. Finally, I paid with PAYPAY. Thanks for the meal!

I visited this place based on a recommendation, but surprisingly, the impression was too sweet. The atmosphere inside the restaurant is not bad, but I was quite bothered by the attitude of the staff. I understand they might be busy, but there were hardly any smiles, and it made me feel like I might not need to come again. The young girls taking lively pictures created a pleasant atmosphere visually.

I couldn't take my time because it's on a 30-minute system. I visited without a reservation, so I had to wait for 20 minutes. Despite that, they still guided me, which was good. The taste is extremely delicious. Even if the plum on top loses its appetite due to the heat, you still feel like eating it.

"The shaved ice was perfect with just the right amount of sweetness, not too overwhelming! Being able to make a reservation is a plus. Many other shaved ice places don't allow reservations, making it difficult to plan due to uncertain wait times. This feature is very convenient."

I visited a popular shaved ice shop in Sangenjaya, where you can make reservations starting two weeks in advance. I ordered the most popular flavor, Tiramisu, which came with mascarpone cheese, cocoa powder, and firm whipped cream. Compared to other shaved ice shops, the price was reasonable, but both the portion size and taste were just okay for the price. The shop is a 15-minute walk from Sangenjaya Station, which was tough on hot days. Since it's not close to my home, I wouldn't make a special trip to Sangenjaya just for this, but it's a great option for those new to shaved ice, especially in the summer. The spacious shop accepts reservations and is reasonably priced, making it a popular choice. There were also many groups of four dining there.

We ordered backcountry (kiwi), lemon cake & mango, melon, and pineapple shaved ice for the whole family. The backcountry flavor was the most refreshing. The mango in the lemon cake was sweet, but the lemon cream had a refreshing taste. The menu is extensive, offering both refreshing and sweet options, so you're likely to find flavors you enjoy. We arrived 5 minutes before our reservation time. The restaurant is on the second floor, and there was a line of non-reserved customers extending outside on the first floor, so I recommend making a reservation.

Good Points: - The concept of shaved ice is transformed. - The use of cheese is exquisite. - Reserving in advance saves you from waiting in line. - The ice disappears from your mouth in an instant. - The menu is extensive. - The taste makes you want to visit multiple times. Bad Points: - Takeout is not available in the evening. - Making a reservation is extremely difficult.

It's been a while since I went to Kanna. I didn't have a reservation, but I was seated in about 30 minutes. The menu was quite different from typical shaved ice places, but I wanted to keep it simple, so I ordered the shaved ice with sweet bean paste. The rich and creamy bean paste covered the shaved ice. It wasn't too sweet. The ice had a hint of salt, which balanced the flavors nicely. The ice was, of course, fluffy. I hurried to eat it before it melted, and ended up feeling very cold afterwards...

I visited the Kanna, a Japanese kitchen that I had been curious about for a while. It was a hot day, and I didn't want to stay outside for long, so I took a bus for about 15 minutes from Shibuya Station and arrived at the bus stop right near the restaurant, just a minute's walk away. It was during the Bon Festival holiday, and I arrived around 1:00 PM without a reservation, so there was a wait of about 30 to 40 minutes for walk-ins. Even after that, customers kept coming in. I ordered the luxurious purple sweet potato shaved ice, which arrived in about 15 minutes after ordering. It was topped with purple sweet potato and what seemed like mascarpone cream. Both the shaved ice and the purple sweet potato were fluffy and very delicious! The clientele in the restaurant was diverse, ranging from solo diners to families and groups of female customers. I heard that they will be reintroducing set meals around autumn, so I'd like to come back again.

I was looking forward to this highly popular restaurant known for being difficult to book. In the summer, they seem to switch to a shaved ice specialty shop, and I couldn't order their set meals. I ordered the highly recommended Rich Purple Sweet Potato Milk (¥1,000) based on reviews. It was incredibly delicious! Fluffy texture—both the ice and syrup were soft. What a unique eating experience. It was so tasty that I devoured it quickly. By the time I finished, I was shivering from the cold. I also tried BC and Strawberry Milk, both of which were delicious! The strawberry syrup felt more like strawberry jam. While the Rich Purple Sweet Potato Milk was fantastic, I think I'd go for BC if I visit again. 🍧

After having lunch at a nearby Fangoo, we wandered around the park for a bit before heading to our reservation. Despite the numerous menu options, I was hesitant about the limited edition plum shaved ice because it seemed to contain cheese, and I'm not a fan of cheesecake. However, since I love plums, I decided to give it a try! My companion opted for strawberry tea. The shaved ice looked creamy from the outset...! The cream on top had a slightly sweet and soft texture. When I tasted the shaved ice, the tartness of yogurt combined with the acidity of the plums, making it a bit intense for my liking. I consulted with the staff to see if there were any options to alter the taste. They suggested adding condensed milk for an extra charge, but the acidity remained strong, so the flavor didn't change much. However, the whole plum on top was genuinely delicious. It seems I made a mistake in choosing the base. As for my companion's strawberry tea shaved ice, it lived up to its name; the strawberry sauce had a slight pulpy texture, and the syrup had a balanced mix of tea flavor, resulting in a simple yet delicious taste. Although this time it didn't quite hit the mark for me, I'd like to give it another try when I'm intrigued by another menu item.

I was invited by a friend to a shaved ice shop. It was fluffy and delicious! I thought it would be expensive, but it was quite reasonable, so I felt relieved. I had tiramisu shaved ice, which had cream inside, like a cake, but because it's shaved ice, it's easy to eat quickly. It was big and didn't decrease quickly, so I enjoyed it. Next time, I want to try a different flavor. My friend was eating purple sweet potato flavor. They said it was also delicious.

The other day I went to WAKitchen Kanna after a long time, and I regret not coming more often. I always look forward to what kind of shaved ice I can have. This time, I had three types: 1. Cream Pine Soda - ¥1,800 It has a vanilla yogurt carbonated foam with pineapple chunks and puree, coconut chips, and macadamia nuts. It not only looks great but also instantly cools down the summer heat. 2. Lemon Yogurt and Mango Tart Style - ¥1,450 This shaved ice looks like a cake. It has mango confiture with lemon yogurt foam, which is refreshing and perfectly balances sourness and sweetness. I probably really like yogurt flavor (laughs). 3. Melamelon! Seared Camembert - ¥1,950 Using ripe red melon, it's served with mascarpone cheese and seared camembert cheese. You can enjoy the rich sweetness of melon and the richness of cheese. The shaved ice here always impresses with its high quality. What's more, being able to go without waiting by making a reservation is the best. It's impossible to stand in line for hours on a hot day, so I'm really grateful for that.
