Have you ever tried Tiramisu-flavored shaved ice? Yanchengting, a Japanese-style shaved ice shop in Kaohsiung, incorporates various special ingredients into their shaved ice, specializing in unique flavors that are hard to find elsewhere. By combining soft, sweet desserts with traditional Japanese shaved ice, they’ve introduced Tiramisu Shaved Ice. Using local Taiwanese ingredients, they also offer a dreamy purple yam shaved ice made from Kagoshima purple sweet potatoes, as well as a bright yellow pumpkin shaved ice.

Yanchengting takes advantage of the low season in winter to rest and develop new products. When reopening in February, they also launched a new menu featuring a series of creative shaved ice flavors you can’t find anywhere else.

▲ The quite rare Tiramisu Shaved Ice.

Among the specialty shaved ice series, the most distinctive is the Tiramisu Shaved Ice, which is rarely found elsewhere. It combines mascarpone cheese, McVitie’s Digestive biscuits, Hershey's cocoa powder, Hershey's cocoa nibs, and shaved ice, resulting in a flavor with great texture layers. It’s hard to imagine how the soft Tiramisu and shaved ice could come together to create such a refreshing new taste.

Other highlights include Marukyu Koyamaen Uji Kintoki Matcha, a favorite among Japan enthusiasts. It offers a mature, adult-like flavor, using matcha powder from Marukyu Koyamaen, a 300-year-old tea shop in Uji, Kyoto. With its rich matcha taste, paired with the shop’s homemade condensed milk and Pingtung Wandan red beans, it’s a classic flavor.

▲%The juicy red dragon fruit, along with the homemade syrup, makes it quite special.

Seasonal fruit shaved ices mainly feature strawberry, kiwi, dragon fruit, pumpkin, and purple sweet potato. The pink and delicate strawberry shaved ice, with its sweet and sour taste, is especially loved by girls; the three-color shaved ice made with kiwi and dragon fruit is vibrant and eye-catching; another option is the bright yellow pumpkin shaved ice, made with specially selected Taiwanese pumpkins, imported mixed nuts, and a homemade nostalgic refreshing syrup, offering a very unique taste.

The shop also offers a mature-girl-style purple shaved ice called "Kagoshima Purple Sweet Potato Shaved Ice." Made with purple sweet potatoes grown on the Jianan Plain, rich in anthocyanins and high in nutritional value, its vivid color is not only eye-catching but also super appetizing.
