The shaved ice here is pretty good. The dog and bear shaped ones are adorable and taste alright. The inu shaved ice had some portions that were plain and had no flavor, which wasn't great, but the section coated in matcha was pretty good. The matcha flavor was nice. The red bean filling was also delicious, but the matcha jelly was not good. The ice cream was also good but much sweeter than everything else, so it should be eaten last. It melts quite quickly and will turn into soup...read full review
Went for many years, I highly recommend the strawberry shaved ice. The Monaka gets sold out quick. I recommend the anmitsu too!
Be ready for a Kakigori the size of a real cat's head 😉.

Yamada is a restaurant known for its Japanese-flavor ice treats and drinks, located right at the entrance of the Japan Village building. It is quite known for its delicious ice cream offerings, with a wide variety of flavors including matcha and milk soft serve. The texture is perfectly creamy and the taste is simply divine. The mochi wrap ice cream is a must, with pliable, soft mochi and thick, creamy ice cream. They also serve shaved ice, which is refreshing, light, and melts in the mouth immediately, though some find it slightly expensive. The shaved ice machine is a high-quality, Japanese imported one.
For drinks, the matcha latte and hojicha latte receive mixed reviews; some find them pretty good and strong with rich flavor, while others find them very watery. Syrup is self-serve with regular simple syrup and kuromitsu syrup. They also have adorable fruity animal shaped shaved ice and drinks. Staff are polite. Overall, it is a great place for desserts, though opinions on the drinks vary.
