Background of Original Shaved Ice Development
In recent years, Japan's summers have continued to experience record-breaking heat, and in April 2026, the Japan Meteorological Agency defined days with maximum temperatures of 40°C or higher as 'extreme heat days,' indicating that the severity of the heat is increasing year by year. Against this backdrop, TANGO aimed to provide a 'summer dining experience' that focuses not only on 'cooling down' with shaved ice but also on its appearance and taste. This year, the popular shaved ice menu has been further evolved.
