DOSHISHA to Launch Hello Kitty-Designed Electric and Manual Fluffy Toro-Yuki Shaved Ice Makers

DOSHISHA Corporation, a company engaged in the planning, development, and sale of household goods, announced that it will release Hello Kitty-designed versions of its “Electric Fluffy Toro-Yuki Shaved Ice Maker” and “Manual Fluffy Toro-Yuki Shaved Ice Maker” from mid-May 2026 through its official online store, DOSHISHA Marche, and selected e-commerce sites. The Toro-Yuki shaved ice maker, first launched in 2016, is a home-use shaved ice machine that allows users to enjoy Taiwanese-style shaved ice by shaving flavored ice made from frozen juice and other ingredients into a smooth, melt-in-the-mouth texture. The series has been DOSHISHA’s No. 1 seller for 10 consecutive years in shipment volume and has surpassed 1.5 million units in cumulative shipments. To commemorate the product’s 10th anniversary, DOSHISHA is introducing a special collaboration model featuring Hello Kitty. The body uses a red-and-white two-tone design with a side-facing Hello Kitty illustration, combining a classic summer treat, a character loved across generations, and the latest shaved ice maker features. The product can shave not only clear ice made from water, but also sweet flavored ice made from frozen juice, condensed milk, and similar ingredients. By improving the length of the spikes that hold the ice and the uneven surface of the resin parts, the machine can firmly shave soft, melt-prone flavored ice that other shaved ice makers may struggle with. This enables users to recreate shop-style flavored shaved ice with a soft texture that melts smoothly in the mouth. The parts can also be disassembled and washed with water, making it easy to clean sticky sugar residue. The machine can also shave loose ice made in a household freezer and commercially available frozen fruit, so users can enjoy shaved ice without relying only on the included dedicated ice cups. A blade adjustment dial lets users change the blade height and adjust the texture from crunchy to fluffy. The body separates into upper and lower sections for compact off-season storage. Two types are available: a manual model that offers the fun of turning the handle by hand, and an electric model that operates easily with the press of a switch. The product comes in a cute decorative box featuring pop-style Hello Kitty artwork, making it suitable for both home use and gifting.
