Ujikintoki (Matcha Shaved Ice)
Report
Beat the heat with refreshing Japanese matcha shaved ice called Ujikintoki. In this traditional dessert, we top fluffy shavings of snowy ice with beloved Japanese flavors like sweet matcha syrup, anko, mochi balls, and green tea ice cream. It‘s a must-try recipe!

Ingredients
For the Matcha Syrup
- ¼ cup sugar (4 Tbsp)
- ½ Tbsp matcha (green tea powder)
- 2 Tbsp hot water
For the Shaved Ice
- ice (block; for your shaved ice machine)
- ⅓ cup sweet red bean paste (anko) (you can make my homemade Anko recipe)
- toppings of your choice (optional; I recommend a scoop of Matcha Ice Cream, homemade Shiratama Dango (mochi balls), and/or 1 Tbsp of sweetened condensed milk)
Instructions
- Gather all the ingredients.
- To make the matcha syrup, combine ¼ cup sugar and ½ Tbsp matcha (green tea powder) in a small bowl and whisk together. Then, add 2 Tbsp hot water and whisk until the sugar is completely dissolved. Let it cool in the freezer (don’t forget to take it out) or refrigerator (if you still have time before serving).
- I use an electric shaved ice machine. Put the block of ice in the machine and run it for a while to let it form a nice peak of ice in an individual serving bowl. Toward the end, rotate the bowl to correct any lopsidedness. Repeat with the other individual serving bowl.
- Now, add your toppings to each bowl. Pour 2 Tbsp of green tea syrup onto the shaved ice. Then, add a dollop of the ⅓ cup sweet red bean paste (anko) to each bowl. You can also add optional toppings of your choice; I like to add homemade Shiratama Dango (mochi balls), a scoop of Matcha Ice Cream, and 1 Tbsp of sweetened condensed milk. Enjoy!
