By MOOK Scenic Spots House, compiled and reported
 
Every year as winter arrives, it marks the peak season for bright red strawberries. In summer, you eat mango shaved ice, but in winter, it’s all about strawberry shaved ice. Enjoying a bowl of ice on a cold winter day is especially satisfying, and having it topped with plenty of fresh seasonal strawberries is even more delightful. Below are eight Taiwanese shops famous for their amazing strawberry snow mountains.

1. Marumoto-ten | Natural Handmade Sweets
Located in Pingtung, Marumoto-ten features wooden interiors with a Japanese-style aesthetic. It specializes in natural homemade soft serve ice cream and colorful fruit snowflake shaved ice. There are two rotating soft serve flavors daily, while the snowflake shaved ice includes popular options such as strawberry, Oreo, cantaloupe, and matcha.

The popular Strawberry Guagua Tower includes ingredients like strawberries, cantaloupe, and tapioca pearls, and you can also choose your preferred flavor of snowflake shaved ice. Additionally, the shop’s strawberry matcha is very well-loved and is a must-try among the popular queue-worthy foods in Pingtung.
