One of the Many Symbols of Summer here in Japan: Kakigori. It's Basically what I guess is called Shaved Ice. Ice Flakes with Syrup Flavoring on it. A Rather Simple Summer snack I guess but it's Great During a Hot Day! The Chinese Character on this Cup (and Many Cups you get at a Festival or Convenience Store) says 'Ice' and it is a Bit Shredded on Purpose.
