Doshisha [2020 Model] Electric Professional Shaved Ice Tool, Fluffy, 2 Ice Cups Included

Love it! Works great and gets the ice nice and fine.

This machine shaves ice very well. The only problem is it is too big. This is for the people who enjoy the old look machine.

Got this shave ice machine after watching the review from Eater. It uses 100v so I bought a voltage converter to go with it to be safe since the machine is pricey. It's easy to use once you figure it out. When facing the machine, rotate the knob to the left to get finer ice. Rotate to the right for more coarse flakes. Adjust the blade as the ice block gets smaller to keep the consistency. It's a lot faster than a manual model. Used this machine to make shave ice at my daughter's party. Ended up making shave ice for over an hour but it was a hit with the kids! Only annoying factor is that it comes with only 2 molds and it's very expensive to get more ($50 for 4 when I checked). I freeze the ice, pop it out of the molds into a gallon ziploc bag and then repeat to build up my stash. I haven't tried using my own ice yet. the picture shows shave ice from about 2 blocks of ice. You need to pack down the ice as it comes out of the machine. Yeah the shave ice aunties and uncles in Hawaii do that for a reason ;) Pricewise it's expensive, but it does make shave ice like the ones you can get in Hawaii.

Makes a good thin shaved ice

Makes the perfect shaved ice and the seller is fantastic!!!!!! I highly recommend this seller

Makes powdery shaved ice, not crunchy ice. Only comes with 2 ice molds. So make a few ice blocks, store them in a ziploc. Shaved ice is so soft that it dissolves with syrup, so eat it immediately, and fill the bowl. The texture of it -is the best!! I did get the voltage converter to be safer. I saw a reviewer on YouTube and followed his recommendations. The plastic is a bit thin for the cost, but if you are gentle with it, it’s perfectly fine.

I don't get why everyone hates this thing. I treat it carefully and it's been my go to for bingsu, snow cones, Halo-Halo, and the like and I've had it since 2019, using it at least 50 times every summer. It makes fluffy snow consistency. That's all you really need.

This machine is not consistent and requires frequent tampering to get non-chunky ice. It is also frail and not even made with expensive durable plastic, but very malleable and weak plastic. I have a feeling this will break in a year or so. They give you cheap flimsy tubs to make your ice in that are also just not even great. I am completely surprised, this is such a crap japanese product and usually products from Japan are high quality. If you want perfect shaved ice (light fluffy) it will be a lot of work. It is not easy and if you're making multiple bowls I wish you luck. I am unfortuantely out of the return window, but seeing that now its hard for me to make consistent fluffy bowls, I want to warn people to avoid this product. There are other machines out there, maybe not the ones eatery recommended, but definitelt products better than this one, that also takes tremendous amounts of space.

I wish it comes with multiple ice maker moulds though; or at least an option to purchase. You would need more ice ready as it only comes with a pack of 2. Each puck of ice is good for one serving. Other than that, I highly recommend this product! You should buy it.

We bought this to give a treat to the grand-kids, but ended up sharing it with adult friends during summer BBQ's as well. The ice can be changed from soft like snow, to crunchy like daiquiris. So bring out your (Kakigōri) shaved ice syrup, and your margarita mix too! The box included two small cups for making a block of ice, which works very well, for only one person, so you'll need to save your ice blocks in advance. Regular ice cubes from your freezer will also work in a pinch. The bottom third of an instant noodle cup will also work for making lots of ice quickly :) The machine has a nostalgic look and feel, but is modern when it comes to safety, operation, and cleaning. The motor will not start while the blade is exposed, no electrical parts are exposed to ice and water, and the blade can be lowered to a safe position for cleaning.

Great product! Have used a couple times now. To get snow texture, turn dial so razor is slightly touching ice, you might have to extend it more so it catches then lower razor. Otherwise it will be shards of ice, which are also fun to eat. I used a cotton candy flavored syrup from the store. We will try maple syrup, chocolate syrup and condensed milk in future. We are also going to try frozen milk. My kids love it. You can put ice from molds in a separate container in freezer then you'll have more when making it for multiple people. The instructions are in Japanese. Sellers were great to deal with.

かき氷を作るのに、刃を調整できて、ふわふわのにしたり、ガリガリにしたり調整できるのが良いが、氷が小さくなってくると調整が難しくなる。また、専用の氷を作らなくてはかき氷を作れないので、少し手間であるが、使いやすいので、気に入っている

充電式ハンディタイプのカキ氷機が家電量販店で投げ売りされてたので買いましたが、数回の使用でモーターと本体の接続が割れ使用できなくなりました。 やっぱり、しっかりした物をと買い直しました。 見た目もレトロぽくて良いですし、何回使っても壊れない。 いわゆるフワフワ氷では無いですが、子供が喜ぶので何度も使用してます。
