Co-founded in 2022 by Hailley and Lino, HANO KAKIGORI is Macao’s only specialty shop dedicated entirely to the culture of Japanese Kakigori (shaved ice). Guided by a core philosophy of “artisanal craftsmanship,” the brand maintains exceptional professionalism and consistent quality across all aspects of its operations, from preparation techniques and ingredient sourcing to flavor development and visual design.
The founders have made multiple research trips to Japan and Hong Kong to refine their techniques, establishing highly standardized processes based on strict criteria: daily fresh ingredients, house-made sauces, and precise temperature and ice texture control. Every detail, from the specialized ice-making equipment to the delicate layers and expert flavor stacking, is handled with true artisan-level mastery. The menu features traditional shaved ice, snowflake ice, savory dishes, desserts, and coffee—all made fresh each day using natural ingredients, with new seasonal flavors introduced every quarter. The brand has also launched an original mascot character, “Matcha Soldier,” alongside limited-edition holiday gift boxes. Looking ahead, they plan to develop unique shaved ice flavors that integrate Macao’s rich cultural heritage, such as Portuguese dessert-inspired creations and innovative combinations featuring local ingredients.
Embracing minimalist Japanese aesthetics, soft color palettes, exquisite plating, and a photo-friendly space, HANO KAKIGORI delivers a premium dessert experience. Seamlessly blending Japanese elegance with a strong sense of Macao’s cultural identity, the brand has become a highly recognizable dessert icon for the city, offering customers a visual and gastronomic delight.
