I was in the area so I stopped in on a Thursday at noon. It is literally the smallest food truck I've ever seen. It is located just outside of the Chanel store in a small courtyard located in the Miami Design District. This Japanese shaved ice is like a Colombian raspado but at a higher price point and with way more toppings. I tried the small matcha cake ($8). As the base, it has plain shaved ice with a cold matcha flavored syrup added to the ice. There are pieces of small cookies (sort of like Pirulín) with sweet matcha-flavored filling mixed in. Matcha is very bitter. I should have gone with the passion fruit. It cost $8 then I had to pay for parking in the garage ($3) because there is very limited street parking in general. A bit pricey IMHO for a raspado but the setting is very calming and the service was good.
Cute little dessert stand towards the back Miami's Design District. I think this place is one of the hidden gems of the design district. The price for what you get is not bad at all! Considering all the other expensive $$$$ places for small bites (I'm looking at you Dior Cafe ) located in the Design District. The Japanese Shaved ice was so refreshing! I got the Matcha Cake, while one of my friends got the Goku. The Matcha Cake was not too sweet at all. The matcha flavor was perfectly balanced with the refreshing shaved iced and the milk espuma on top was very pillowy and foamy in texture. I didn't try the Goku, but my friend finish every last bit/drop, so I'm assuming they really liked it also. I'd definitely recommend you to visit this place if you are in the area. Parking is pretty affordable too. If you park in one if the garages, it is $3 for 4 hours - much better than the street parking nearby.
Super mid. Literally just shaved ice with syrup. I got matcha and mango and both taste very bland. If you have the food preferences of an almond mom (i.e., bland, low sugar, low calorie) then this is the place for you.
A little cart in the design district with a wide variety of shaved ice flavors, with a very helpful attendant and really friendly service... nothing like it on a hot Miami day... but hurry... the heat will turn to juice your shaved ice in no time.
Love it! So tasty, light and very few calories! Perfect combo! Wish they had more locations throughout the city!
I was walking by, for the first time in the area and couldn't help but to think about those Japanese shaved ice cups I kept walking around the shopping center and on my way back towards my car. I had to make a stop and try them fruity ice cups. I went with the passion fruit and white cream on top. Did not disappointed My friend wanted the sweetest one, and so she was suggested to get the dulce de leche or strawberry. Dulce The leche was the winner and it was also yammy Give it shot if you're in the area. Now during Covid times and in this Miami weather, it'll be a delightful surprise
I accidentally stumbled on this cart when I was looking to get ice cream from Frohzen, so I figured a little extra ice wouldn't hurt. Self-advertised as the "first kakigori shop in Miami", this is a great start for the city. I groaned at first when I saw some of the menu options until I saw them listed under "Kids Flavors", in which case one with gummy bears and one with starburst is not a bad idea at all to entice children to want to try something different. But for adults, please stick to the top portion of the menu, which includes a great Passionfruit flavor ($9 for regular and $8 for small). The Strawberry Pistachio is also solid. The texture on both was a bit icy, but still a great new tasty, lighter option that is welcome in the Miami heat.
Japanese Shaved ice food truck. Love this spot in design district. Grabbed the dulce de leche brownie. Friendly staff. A bit pricey but you're paying the area. Huge shaved ice fanatic and this one is really one of My favorites in the Miami area. Well recommended.
If you see this little sweet shaved iced mini dessert truck in the Design District, make sure to stop by and grab your treat! Karigori is a Japanese dessert consisting of delicately shaved ice flavored w sweet syrup and condensed milk. I ordered a small limited flavor Pineapple Avalanche, a mini mountain of ice topped w a sweet and tart syrups along w light whipped cream acting as the cocunut espuma, chunks of pineapple and macadamia nut top the goodness! The location of the dessert truck is near the Gucci store and has ample seating area to enjoy your treat!
When I first saw this Japanese shaved ice cart I talked myself out of getting anything. But while I was doing my nails upstairs at Vanity Projects I just couldn't stop thinking about Japow. Following my appointment, I decided to give it a try, and I'm SO glad I did. The person taking my order was incredibly kind and knowledgable. I was between two flavors (dulce de leche brownie & matcha tres leches) and she did not lead me astray with her recommendation. The dulce de leche brownie was DELISH. It's was a light sweet treat with plenty of dulce de leche flavor and a nice brownie crunch. If you find yourself in the Design District, definitely stop by!
We got a strawberry pistachio snow come. Very tasty. Very refreshing. Very light. It was so good we immediately got a second one. The ice is super finely shaved, so it melts kind of fast in the hot Florida weather but it won't matter because you eat it so fast. About halfway to the bottom they layer the sauce, espuma, and pistachio, which makes the bottom just as just as the top. I was surprised how well the pistachio nuts went with the strawberry flavor but it was delicious.
Japow is a beautiful place!! The shaved ice and mango milk was is perfect. Cthe portion size was just enough and for the price, especially in that area. Can't wait to go back, i saw that she sold bubble tea in a can.
Japow? More like Ja-Wow! No, but seriously, this place is a nice sweet snack located in the midst of the hustle and bustle that is the tyrannical Design District. Tired of being harassed by people asking for your time or being looked down upon by the affluent luxury brands that give you sterile looks because you can't shop there? Great--Japow is here for you. Not only is it affordable, they do a great job giving you concoctions that fill in those sweets cravings, while also allowing you to experiment in combinations that fulfill both Eastern and Western palettes. I mean, honestly the cream and shaved ice combo proves itself to be the best combination for a dessert that feels light and still delectable. Take a break when you're done window shopping and give this Japanese shaved ice truck a chance. Forget scoops of ice cream--trust me when I say that sometimes shaved ice with some cream on top does the job much better. read more

We stopped by this cute little shaved ice stand for a quick break from the heat. We tried the original lemonade flavor, which was good, and the server was friendly. I'll give 4 rather than 5 just because the prices were pretty high for what you get, but I suppose that's a hazard of the area! read more
