Recently, Japan’s PABLO launched four summer-limited cheese shaved ice flavors—matcha, raw chocolate, mango, and strawberry—that left Taiwanese fans lamenting that they couldn’t get their hands on them. But now there’s no need to complain, as PABLO Taiwan will also debut these four cheese shaved ice flavors on June 27. How will the combination of iced cheese whipped cream and ultra-smooth Japanese-style snow ice taste? Taiwanese fans will have to head over and try it for themselves.

PABLO’s cheese shaved ice series includes four flavors: matcha, raw chocolate, mango, and strawberry, combining iced cheese whipped cream with smooth Japanese-style snow ice. Lin Shu-ling, brand manager of PABLO Taiwan, explained that the iced cheese whipped cream is made using the same New Zealand cheese and Taiwanese milk in a 1:1 ratio as in Japan. As for the shaved ice, it is produced using a shaved ice machine imported from Japan, resulting in an ultra-smooth texture like snowflakes.

In addition to a mix of sweet and savory flavors, what’s most unique about the cheese shaved ice series is that it comes with hot tea. Lin Shu-ling said the hot tea is a U.S.-imported white peony green tea with floral and fruity aromas, perfect for cutting through the richness.

Introduction to the four cheese shaved ice flavors:

Matcha with White Pearls and Red Bean Cheese Shaved Ice (NT$198):Made with specially prepared PABLO matcha sauce crafted from Uji matcha, poured over smooth shaved ice and topped with premium red beans and Q-textured, chewy Kanagawa white pearls. It’s then drizzled with generous amounts of PABLO’s exclusive cheese whipped cream and finished with crispy pastry crumbs.
