I was expecting nothing much - but it was really good! Took the vegan peach one. We shared cause I thought one would be too much but one each should be manageable as it is so light in the mouth. Can’t wait to come back.

On Saturdays it is crowded, so don’t be in a hurry, need to wait some time but worth it in my opinion.

I heard the staff speaking Japanese, the place is legit!

Seeing many 4 u0026 5 stars reviews I had to try it. Unfortunately my experience was not quite there. The shaved ice was tasty, but nothing special. The service was extremely slow and they got orders wrong for myself and multiple other customers.

Very interesting ice-creams from Japan. Interesting flavor - very classic for Japan cuisine. Taiyaki were delicious. Service extremely nice. Can't wait to try other ones. Everything is freshly made in front of you.

Starting off with the “Peach 2022”, i really love how each components of the dessert compliments each other, you have the Sweetness from the Condensed Milk, creaminess from the Milk and Salted Mascarpone Cream, Saltiness from the Salted Mascarpone and Guérande Salt(France’s most famous salt marshes), Freshness and acidity from the Peace Sauce and Lime Zest. Finishing off with Roasted Sesame which leaves a roasty hint at the back of your tongue.
.
The name “5 Elements” indicates 5 distinct flavors SWEET, SOUR, SALTY, BITTER, and UMAMI. Sweetness which came from the Condensed Milk, Acidity from the HEBESU and lemon syrup, Saltiness from the Scorched Tamari Soy- Sauce Cream, Bitterness from the peel of the Lemon Slice, and the Umami from the Soy-Sauce Cream. Finishing with Rice Cracker for crunch and a roasty hint and Mochi for glutinous texture.

Very pleasant experience. Their shaved ice is heavenly and you can’t go wrong with the cold brew of the day . Staff was also unbelievably friendly.
10/10 would definitely visit again .

Really cute and authentic Japanese cafe. Great matcha flavour with red bean and the mango also tasted fresh. However, do expect a long wait… We waited for about an hour for two kakigori. A tiny point of improvement: maybe adding something chewy to the kakigori, like mochi or actual pieces of mango would elevate this dish.

After lining up for 45min and then waiting another 20 to 25min I expected more out of this. For 7.5eur it's literally just a mound of shaved ice with a dollop of cream on top (not added inside in layers to keep the flavour going) so after having a few spoons all you're left with is ice. Had there been more flavour added inside it might have been better but still, the price isn't justified for the size/quantity of this.

The order was also messed up where after paying 2eur extra for mochi in one of them they forgot about it.

Edit following the owner's reply since I can't reply to that response:

Appreciate the detailed feedback!

Firstly, I've deleted the pictures of the upright spoon (thank you for explaining that, not presumptious on your side at all, it was genuinely appreciated having an opportunity to learn this context), it was very humbling to learn about this and how it's percieved in Japanese culture, and of course, my intent was not to offend so apologies to anyone who may have seen those pictures and felt offended!

Secondly, I appreciate the effort despite the delays/day being affected by the health of the team and still championing through. I'm looking forward to revisiting another time and hopefully having a better experience that lives up to the other raving reviews!
