humble origins

Throughout the pacific rim, other cultures have similar versions of ice blanketed in syrup—halo-halo in the Philippines, bao bing in China, patbingsu in Korea—but shave ice in the Islands can trace its roots back to Hawaii’s storied plantation past. Japanese immigrants, who came to the Islands to work in the sugar and pineapple fields in the mid-1800s, introduced the concept of kakigori. Meaning shaved ice, kakigori grew in popularly from the seventh and ninth centuries A.D. To cool off, Japanese immigrants in Hawaii used their tools to shave flakes off large blocks of ice, and then coated it with sugar or fruit juice.

In Pidgin vernacular, the refreshing treat became known as shave ice—not shaved ice.

The difference

The difference between snow cones made with crushed ice and Hawaiian shave ice lies primarily in their texture and preparation method. Snow cones typically use coarsely crushed or grated ice that retains a more granular texture. They are often flavored with syrup that typically sinks to the bottom due to the larger ice particles.

On the other hand, Hawaiian shave ice involves finely shaved ice that is fluffy and snow-like in texture. The ice is shaved extremely finely, almost like snow, which allows it to absorb and hold our premium syrups evenly throughout. This results in a smoother and more flavorful experience, where the syrup adheres to the ice rather than sinking, creating a more consistent taste from the first bite to the last. The texture and syrup absorption of Hawaiian shave ice make it a more refined and enjoyable option for those seeking a premium frozen treat experience.
