Hawaiian Snow Shave Ice

Fujimarca MC-709SE Block Shaver and Hatsuyuki HC-27 Cube Shaver	"Da Kine" Shave Ice	Ono Flavors

What is Hawaiian Shave Ice?  With special ice shaving machines, ice blocks or ice cubes are shaved very fine, which results in a light and fluffy product.  Traditional snow cones are crushed, coarsed ice, which retain a lot of water in the ice, and makes the product dense and heavy, allowing the syrups to drain quickly to the bottom of the cup.  Hawaiian Snow syrups are formulated specifically for shave ice, and when combined with the finely shaved ice, the syrups do not drain to the bottom of the cup.  In addition, a scoop of vanilla ice cream (and optional Azuki beans, a Hawaiian tradition) is added to the bottom of the cup before the shaved ice.  Imagine the combined tastes that await you at the bottom of the cup when the shaved ice and syrup melts to blend with the ice cream !!!  "Da kine ono-licious stuff" (translation; the best, delicious stuff).
