Kakigōri (かき氷) is a Japanese shaved ice dessert flavored with syrup and a sweetener, often condensed milk.
The origins of kakigōri date back to the Heian period in Japanese history, when blocks of ice saved during the colder months would be shaved and served with sweet syrup to Japanese aristocracy during the summer.
Kakigōri became more accessible in the 19th century, when ice became more widely available to the public during the summertime. The first kakigōri store is believed to have opened in Yokohama in 1869.
July 25 is known as kakigōri day in Japan because on that day in 1933, there was a record high temperature in Japan.
During the hot summer months, kakigōri is sold virtually everywhere in Japan, especially at summer festivals and fairs.

It was challenging to make the shaved ice material with my old pc, but I'm happy with the result.
