What is Kakigori
Ah, kakigori. My favourite category of⊠pudding? (Iâve never had it; it is pudding right? I canât think of a savoury flavour that would be nice at least ).
Crushed ice I believe. (Itâs taught in WK fairly on if I recall correctly ).
Gotcha. I didnât make the connection. I read it as Kakigouri
ooh what flavour have you got?! (it looks like seaweed⊠I wouldnât put it past those Japanese kakigori makers).
Thereâs a simple (well, for some - N5 they say) article to read about it here if people are keen
Itâs been so long since Iâve had it I didnât even remember what shaved ice looks like
That said, I donât think I ever liked it as a kid. Go team ice cream!
I agree that it doesnât rival ice-cream (this is supposing itâs somewhat like a slush puppy ). Although, sorbet may come close.
No itâs nothing weird like seaweed.
I had Green Tee and Coconut Sirup. I realized that made for a bad picture, some girls had it with Mango, Strawberry or something, made for fancier pictures.
I live directly across from a ăăæ°·ć±ăă. Like, when I look out my window I can see a giant æ°· sign.
Itâs always super busy in the summer. I still havenât gone to try it yet.
I donât see the appeal of eating sweetened ice
Soft serve ftw!
Considering ăăæ°· is one of the handful of words that use ă for the long-o sound, surely youâd read it as kakigoori.
That sounds rather nice! I think I was just a bit frightened after reading the flavours in that article⊠purple potato, chestnut, avocado⊠too used to sweet flavours in the UK I suppose but I think Iâd give them a try?!
Tangentially related, but
Iâve been watching letâs plays of Sekiro, and thereâs a place called ä»ćłŻćŻș (ăăăœăă) and for whatever reason the devs decided to write Senpou Temple instead of Senpo Temple⊠and even though there is voice acting in the game that clearly demonstrates that it should be a long o, 90% of people I see playing the game say Sen"poo" (like poop âpooâ) Temple. Guess I know why they donât usually put the u in romaji for place names now.
Iâm not sure if itâs the same, but they have this purple yam called ube(?) in the philippines thatâs mildly sweet. They seem to use it in a lot of confections and stuff and Iâm quite fond of it.
In Hawaii shave ice is a thing. It often has ice cream and azuki bean paste in the bottom, then the shaved ice piled on top and flavor syrup drizzled in the ice.
The Kindle book I was sampling two days ago.
The purple potato will definitely be quite sweet. Itâs like a sweet potato, but purple instead of yellow/orange.
@ccookf probably a lot like ube in the Philippines and Indonesia, if not basically the same thing.
Can I ask you what letâs play of Sekiro you are watching? I started playing it, got into it, but then my Xbox crapped out on me and now it wonât accept discs. I canât justify spending another $60 for a digital download, so I have been wanting to watch a playthrough, but I have no idea which channels are good, and which arenât. Not my normal thing!
Summary
I like this guy

Heâs careful, thoughtful, and playing completely blind (he only saw the original 30 announcement teaser before starting). Iâm only about 5 parts into that one, so itâs hard to say.
This is another good one. Heâs really really good at the game, despite playing blind.
If youâre more interested in rage and salt, then this one might be more your style.

Iâve seen some more that I wouldnât recommend so much, but I wonât bother mentioning them unless you really want to know.
Imagine if Japan did the same thing as China and India and re-romanized all their cities and now Tokyo is Toukyou pronounced like too + cute by Americans
