How to use
Ingredients
- Cast iron
- Aluminum alloy
- Stainless steel(blade)
Instructions
- [Usage Secret]
- [Set Ice] The biggest feature of Taiwan shaved ice (Xuehua Bing) is using 'flavored round ice blocks (Bing Zhuan) frozen with milk, condensed milk, or mango juice' instead of water. Fix this firmly to the machine tray.
- [Blade Adjustment (Artisan Skill)] Fine-tune the lower blade angle with a dial while watching the ice temp and melting state. This shaves the ice thin and long 'like ruffled ribbons'.
- [Fluffy Snow Mountain] Turn on the switch, the motor spins, and fluffy ice accumulates on the plate below.
- Spin the plate quickly to heap it high without crushing under its own weight, topping beautifully with boba or mango.

Trivia
[For Everyone] The heart creating the texture of Taiwan's 'Xuehua Bing (Snowflake Ice)', on a different dimension from the 'crunchy shaved ice' at Japanese summer festivals. Exists in retro manual types turning a large side handle (Guzaowei) and motor-driven electric types. Just seeing this rugged machine operating in Shin-Okubo/Harajuku Taiwanese sweet shops raises summer excitement.
Eating tips & etiquette
[Unique Eating] Shave flavored ice (milk ice or peanut ice) and, without adding syrup, enjoy the ice's own rich flavor and the fluffy texture that 'disappears instantly in the mouth'!
