Uchinuki Ice

Shaved ice made with 'the most delicious water in Japan'—a luxurious summer treat unique to Saijo City. In Saijo City, there are approximately 3,000 wells known as 'Uchinuki,' where underground water from the Ishizuchi mountain range naturally gushes to the surface. This soft water, which was selected as one of Japan's top 100 famous waters in 1985, is mellow and mild with no aftertaste. The ice made by freezing this pure water has high transparency and can be shaved into an incredibly fine texture. It features a melt-in-your-mouth quality unique to premium spring water—fluffy and dissolving instantly the moment it touches your tongue. Because the ice itself is free of impurities, even the flavor of the syrup feels clear and pure. Even on a humid, hot summer day, one bite will cool you to your core—a luxurious reward that can only be tasted in Saijo, the City of Water.
