Shaved Ice with One Whole Okayama White Peach at “saq*cafe” in Shinsaibashi

I visited "saq cafe," owned by former NMB48 idol Rena Shimada and enjoyed a delicious peach shaved ice!

I noticed my friend, a fan of pop idols, post a delicious-looking photo of peach shaved ice on Facebook, which led me to saqcafe, owned by former NMB48 idol Rena Shimada.

c00147-02-min

The shop is located right in between Shinsaibashi and Yotsubashi on the 2nd floor of its building.

c00147-03-min

There was a banner for the shop on the 2nd floor wall, but no signs on the 1st floor…
I went up the elevator to the 2nd floor and found the shop entrance on the left.

c00147-04-min

As you enter, there’s counter seating immediately ahead of you. There’s table seating in the center, and sofas in front.
During this visit, there was only one female customer and the rest were men.
I was surprised to see the exact opposite of other cafes.

c00147-05-min

The female employees are all young and pretty.
Relaxing music plays in the background, and the appetizing scent of Napolitan pasta is in the air.

c00147-06-min

Checking out the menu immediately.

c00147-07-min

Drinks such as coffee and black tea, as well as cheesecake and toast. With Napolitan pasta and domestic A5 wagyu beef curry, there’s a wide variety in the menu.

c00147-08-min

Among them, what I ordered this time was shaved ice with one whole Okayama white peach (1,200 yen).

c00147-09-min

It’s a shaved ice that uses an entire fresh white peach from Okayama, as you can see from the original boxes stacked along the edge of the cafe.

c00147-10-min

The peach slices are lavishly packed all the way around, 360 degrees.

c00147-11-min

As a peach lover, my excitement keeps building.
I’m still ecstatic as I take my first bite!

c00147-12-min

First, the blended peach on the top.

c00147-13-min

The peach flavor slowly, gradually spreads out with a rich, smooth texture.
It’s delicious!!!!!!!!
It’s an excellent match with the milk-flavored ice, too.

c00147-14-min

Taste the milky ice, then taste the fresh white peach.
Being able to enjoy them one after another is so satisfying, it just brings a smile to my face.

c00147-15-min

It was a shaved ice that a peach lover might want to eat every day.
It was delicious. I’m finished!

c00147-16-min

At saq cafe, on top of food and drinks, they offer many items like original T-shirts that are irresistible to fans.

c00147-17-min

There were women’s accessories on sale too, so it’s a cafe that both male and female fans can casually drop by.

c00147-18-min

Black tea is also sold here.
You can order to-go and enjoy delicious black tea and coffee at home.

c00147-19-min

Next time, I think I’ll order the Napolitan pasta or cheesecake which looked delicious.

c00147-20-min
