The richness of the ingredients is particularly novel, with Akita Prefecture's jidori chicken included.

However, with its impactful name and impressive appearance, we can say that this store has quickly emerged in the past few years. It takes some time to get there, about a 20-minute walk from Akita Station, and there is often a long line of people waiting in line, but there is something about this restaurant that attracts people even if they are willing to wait in line.

Fresh soft serve ice cream on top of shaved ice! The appearance of the ice cream has a great impact!



The "Nama Guso "available at this store has a very impressive appearance, with freshly squeezed soft-serve ice cream sitting on top of shaved ice. The name "Nama-Guso" comes from the familiarity of the shape of the ice cream. The interesting appearance of the ice cream is in line with the recent social networking trend, and the taste is unmistakable. The soft and fluffy shaved ice has a fantastic texture, and the soft ice cream has a strong presence and good flavor. At first glance, the two items have different textures, but the moment they mingle in your mouth, you feel an indescribable floating sensation.
