Nitori Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Kita-ku, Sapporo; Representative Director and President: Akio Nitori; hereinafter: Nitori) began selling three "Summer Cooking Appliances" (ice cream maker, shaved ice machine, and nagashi somen maker), which allow you to easily enjoy cool summer menu items at home, on Nitori Net from late April 2026.
*Sales are scheduled to begin at Nitori stores nationwide from late May.
As summer heat intensifies year by year, many people may be thinking about enjoying cool items at home, such as shaved ice, homemade ice cream, and nagashi somen, to find "coolness."
On the other hand, do you have any concerns or dissatisfactions such as, "I want to use a dedicated machine, but the cord doesn't reach the dining table," "Preparation and cleanup are troublesome, so it tends to be left out," or "I'm worried about storage space after summer ends"?
"If you're going to buy it, we want you to easily enjoy coolness at your daily dining table without worrying about preparation or cleanup."
In response to such customer feedback, Nitori has launched three new summer cooking appliances that focus on "ease of use at the dining table" and "space-saving."
The lineup includes the slim and easy-to-use "Cordless Slim Ice Cream Maker," the "Cordless Slim Shaved Ice Machine" that can be used handheld, and the "Mini Nagashi Somen Maker" that can be enjoyed with your favorite bowl.
These products will make family gatherings, home parties, and holiday "home time" more accessible and cooler.
■ Three Common Features of Summer Cooking Appliances
① [Enjoy coolness at the dining table] Cordless & compact, turning your usual table into a summer event venue.
② [Versatile arrangements] Enjoy deliciousness all summer long, from standard menus to fruits.
③ [Space-saving & easy to clean] Making "storage problems" and "troublesome washing" a thing of the past.
① [Enjoy coolness at the dining table] Cordless & compact, turning your usual table into a summer event venue.
Cordless or battery-operated specifications mean there's no need to worry about the outlet's location. You can easily enjoy "coolness" anywhere you like, such as in the center of the dining table, on the veranda, or outdoors, without the hassle of pulling out an extension cord. We prioritized ease of use at the dining table, such as a shaved ice machine that can be used handheld and a nagashi somen maker that can be set up in your usual bowl.

② [Versatile arrangements] Enjoy deliciousness all summer long, from standard menus to fruits.
To prevent "getting tired of it after a few uses," we also focused on ease of arrangement. With the included recipe book (including web publication), you can greatly expand your menu, such as shaved ice made with flavored ice or frozen fruits, ice cream that allows you to add nuts midway, and a somen maker that lets you enjoy floating fruit punch.
③ [Space-saving & easy to clean] Making "storage problems" and "troublesome washing" a thing of the past.
We solved the biggest hurdles when buying summer appliances: "off-season storage space" and "the effort of cleaning." The slim and compact design fits neatly into small gaps in the kitchen or drawers. Furthermore, parts other than the main body and the insulated container are washable, making preparation and cleanup smooth. You can use it easily every year.
