Yamato Kori
Yamato Kori, a specialist shop for shaved ice and mont blanc (Onohara Shop: 1F Comodo Post I, 6-2-12 Onohara-nishi, Minoh City, Osaka), will be operating at two locations, Onohara and Kayano, in 2026.
Celebrating its 5th anniversary in 2026, Yamato Kori continues to serve refreshing shaved ice rooted in pastry-making traditions.
Opened in Minoh, Osaka, in August 2021, Yamato Kori is produced by the popular pastry shop 'Chez Nakatsuka.' As a specialist shop with a pastry-chef's perspective, it has become a sensation for its 'delicate flavors that evolve as you eat,' leading to daily queues during the summer months.
The charm of Yamato Kori lies in its material selection and delicate flavor creation unique to a pastry shop. Committed to using homemade syrups, sauces, and jams, it provides dessert-style shaved ice where the taste shifts with every spoonful. In addition to the enduringly popular 'Two Kinds of Strawberry Syrup and Homemade Condensed Milk' (Eat-in ¥1,500) and 'Mango Milk' (Eat-in ¥1,500), new monthly items will debut this summer.
The featured product for July-August is 'Pineapple and Cream Cheese' (Eat-in ¥1,900). The homemade pineapple jam, crafted to retain its texture, is cooked fresh daily at their nearby kitchen. This summer-inspired dish combines rich condensed milk sauce with the refreshing acidity of pineapple and the mellow depth of cream cheese.
Furthermore, the first location, Onohara Shop, celebrates its 5th anniversary in 2026. To express gratitude, new summer-exclusive items are currently under development. Details will be announced in a second release scheduled for June.
