4.2Est. 60Nara, Kansai

Overview

Extremely popular kakigori (shaved ice) shop serving delicate, fluffy ice with seasonal fruit syrups.

Housekibako (meaning 'jewel box') lives up to its name with stunningly beautiful kakigori that taste as good as they look. The shaved ice is impossibly fluffy, topped with seasonal fruit syrups made in-house from fresh ingredients. Lines form early during summer months, but the wait rewards patience with refreshing creations that showcase Japanese dessert craftsmanship at its finest.
