Shave ice (already HI-28) in detail: the ice must be shaved (not crushed — shaved produces fine, snow-like texture; crushed produces chunky, icy texture). Premium shave ice uses a block of purified ice shaved on a razor-sharp blade. Toppings: flavoured syrups (traditional: strawberry, blue raspberry, vanilla, li hing mui), mochi balls, azuki beans, ice cream on the bottom, haupia drizzle, condensed milk snow cap, fresh fruit. Matsumotoʻs (North Shore, Oʻahu) and Waiola (Honolulu) are the benchmarks.
