Chocolate is a very unusual flavor for shaved ice in Japan, but Shirohige’s Cream Puff Factory definitely makes theirs sound tempting with shaved chocolate, chocolate cream, and, in their words, “lots” of chocolate sauce on the outside, and some at the center too.
And lo and behold, an unexpected, but very welcome, and also very cute, savior has arrived: Totoro shaved ice.
Actually, the Totoro/strawberry shaved ice gets you two Ghibli characters, as perched on Totoro’s ear is a Soot Sprite.
Moving on to Kiki’s Delivery Service, black cat Jiji comes in nerikiri form with the chocolate shaved ice.
