In Japan, Shaved Ice Goes Gourmet

YouTube description:

Kakigori is a traditional Japanese shaved ice dessert dating back to the late 1800s. Originally meant for Japan’s elite, today it’s become a summer staple for everyone. Some, like chef Aya Eguchi, still abide by ancient methods of preparation, using ice frozen naturally by winter weather. Others, like Kumiko Ishibashi, adjust their creations depending on the temperature, while chefs like Kumiko Ishibashi have been innovating on the form, developing new flavors like matcha kakigori. But regardless of the texture, flavor, or weather, kakigori is delicious in every form.

Snow Cone by any other name tastes just as good, but is still just a snow cone!

I would like to try this as my brain can't seem to wrap my head around this being some kind of delicious treat. Are they playing it up or is shaved ice actually amazing? All i have to go on is snow cones as a child which were not particularly yummy.

I've had it in Hawaii....done right it's much softer than an ordinary summer fair snow cone. Incredibly better than pre packaged snow cones.
The flavors depend on the syrup they pour over it, so vary by location. I think the big difference here is texture.

Blasphemy.
