Masatami Swiss Cheese Flavored Shave Ice

When my sister said she wanted me to try Masatami Shave Ice, I had visions of crushed ice with strawberry or grape syrup reminiscent of the snow cones served at kiddie parties when we were much younger.  I was surprised to get a cup of glorious Swiss Cheese Flavored Shave Ice with an ice cream consistency.  The cheesiness wasn't overpowering at all.

It was amazing to watch them spin that block of ice but the food server needs more practice so the finished product would look more like the photo on their menu board.

I would love to go back on a hot summer day and try the Chocolate or Peanut Flavored Shave Ice or the colorful Hawaiian Shave Ice which even comes in Strawberry Margarita and Mango Margarita flavors.
