Since then, ice has become a relatively easy to get. Although shaved ice has a certain popularity, it is still a relatively advanced product. In the late Meiji period, mechanical ice-making technology developed rapidly, and ordinary people can usually eat shaved ice.
Invented an ice planer using a plane, and shops selling shaved ice began to hang shaved ice flags. It was at this time that the most primitive shaved ice was widely seen. In the early Showa, shaved ice was more widely used, so it was more popular with the public.
