MONIN Brings Summer Shaved Ice to Nagoya

A limited Nagoya stop pairing MONIN syrups with fluffy shaved ice.

A limited-time shop combining the long-established shaved ice maker Kikon Chaya and French syrup brand MONIN will open at Nagoya Station on August 3. Called Kikon Chaya STAND with MONIN, it centers on airy, finely shaved ice served with MONIN syrups—a fitting treat for the lingering heat of summer.

MONIN was founded in Bourges, France, in 1912. Its range includes syrups made with fruit juices, nuts, and extracts, with flavors developed using natural ingredients wherever possible. The MONIN syrups sold in Japan are non-alcoholic, and the brand offers more than 100 varieties. The available shaved ice flavors have not been specified in the provided information, so the exact combinations will be part of the visit rather than something to assume in advance.

This is a natural stop for anyone looking for a cold sweet near Nagoya Station or a seasonal break between plans. Since the shop is a collaboration built around syrup and shaved ice, it may appeal to visitors who enjoy comparing aromas and flavor pairings as much as the dessert itself. As the offering is limited, check the official announcement before visiting for current details.
