Each cup of shaved ice presents different temperatures, humidity, and ingredient conditions. The artisan's skill in finding the optimal solution for each moment is truly a once-in-a-lifetime encounter.
Spice Works Holdings Co., Ltd. (Representative Director and President: Wataru Shimotono / Headquarters: Chiyoda-ku) will open new stores in Okinawa on Wednesday, April 1, 2026, with know-how provided by IFREA Co., Ltd. (Representative Director and President: Hironobu Sone / Headquarters: Shinjuku-ku), which operates "Sabo Okunoshibuya."
Two new stores, "oceangood OKUSHIBU" in Kumoji, the center of Okinawa's Kokusai Dori, and "Umi ga Mieru Dake de with OKUNOSHIBUYA" on Ishigaki Island, will open simultaneously.
This single cup, perfected in Okinawa, is not just a sweet, but an "experience that can only be savored in that place."
From the southern islands, where people of various nationalities come and go, to the world, we will transmit the new value of shaved ice.
As with the main store, we plan to update the menu monthly and offer various enjoyable options.
## ■ A Cup Where "Ice Itself Is the Star"
The ice used is highly transparent pure ice. Its clear taste, derived from soft water without impurities, brings out the individuality of the ingredients without compromise.
The ice, carefully shaved by artisans, melts softly the moment it enters the mouth, leaving a gentle aftertaste that dissolves quietly rather than a coldness that echoes in the head.
All anko (bean paste) and jellies are homemade, with a meticulous balance of texture, aroma, and sweetness calculated to achieve the optimal finish for each cup. The shaving is truly a "blueprint for ice." There is no waste, and it is served as a perfectly finished dish.
Crafted by Yasumasa Era, the master of the shaved ice world. Having created numerous masterpieces, he has now faced the ingredients of the southern islands to create a new cup.
