Our Story
While growing up as a young boy, my mother took us to visit our grandmother in East LA. Nearby, we would stop at a small Japanese market along the way and always get shave ice. It was a special treat that we all looked forward to as the man hand cranked the blocks of ice in the Hatsuyuki shave ice machine with such care and simplicity. The menu was simple and clear. As time went on, there were fewer and fewer Japanese markets that sold the shave ice I experienced as a boy growing up. So begins the story of “Shavers Hawaiian Shave Ice.”
Our Company Philosophy
We have adopted the “Bonsai tree” as our company symbol as the Bonsai symbolizes peace, harmony, simplicity and balance. Bonsai trees require proper water, care, trimming, and food to be healthy. It has been said that the constant care required helps develop your patience and relieves stress. We strive to place that same constant care in our Shave Ice product on a daily basis. Because trees are a universally recognizable symbol which represents many things, such as life, prosperity, and strength, the Bonsai tree symbolizes the stable growth of our company, just like a tree.
Our Product
The modern
form of Shave Ice has its origins in Yokohama, Japan and due to its popularity
by the 1920’s, shave ice became a common attraction in stores throughout Japan.
It was imported to America by Japanese immigrants who brought it along with
them when they came to Hawaii to work on the sugar plantations. Shave Ice
became immensely popular and is now a part of the Hawaiian culture.
Hawaiian
Shave Ice is an ice-based dessert made by shaving blocks of ice, creating a
product of very fine ice that appears snow-like. Flavored syrups are added to
the ice, which are absorbed by the ice rather than surrounding it. A properly
made shave ice product rarely requires a straw, since the flavors are in the
ice and not at the bottom of the cup. Fresh fruit can be added as well as ice
cream at the base of the cup and condensed milk on top.
