Swan, Compact Kakigori Ice Shaver, Black
Snow-Fine Kakigori, in Smart Matte Black
The compact Swan shaver in a sleek black finish, the same melt-in-the-mouth shaved ice as the big floor model, in a counter-top machine that happens to look the part. Turn the hand crank and ice becomes fine, dry, snow-like fluff, the texture that makes real kakigori. It takes both block and cubed ice and arrives ready to serve with an ice cup, scoop and rose ice holder. A retro, hard-wearing, genuinely capable machine for cafés, dessert counters and restaurants, with a finish that suits a smarter front-of-house.
Why Operators Choose This
- Snow-fine ice: the fluffy, melt-in-the-mouth texture true kakigori needs
- Block or cubed: flexible, runs on either type of ice
- Compact and smart: counter-friendly, in a sleek black finish
- Ready to serve: includes an ice cup, scoop and rose ice holder
Good to Know
- Cutting power: 120mm disc with an electric-grade gear drive
- Stepless texture: adjust from fine snow to coarser flakes
- Manual: no power needed, just the hand crank
- Serviceable: rust-resistant stainless blade, replaceable when worn
かき氷 — Kakigori, and why the machine matters
Kakigori is Japanese shaved ice, and texture is everything: not the wet shards of a blender but a light, dry, snow-like fluff that drinks up syrup and dissolves on the tongue. That comes from a sharp blade shaving fine ribbons off the ice at a controlled angle, which is what a Swan does. Swan is the classic name in Japanese ice shavers, and this compact, hand-cranked model brings that same snow-fine result, and a bit of retro counter theatre, in a black finish for a more modern front-of-house.
In the range: the same compact in Blue · or the large SI-3B for high volume
Black or Blue, what's the difference?
Mostly the finish. Both are the same compact Swan machine with a 120mm disc, taking block or cubed ice and shaving the same snow-fine kakigori. This black version has a sleeker, more contemporary look for a smarter counter; the blue is the classic retro colour. Choose on looks and which suits your front-of-house; both perform identically.
Product Details
| Type | かき氷機 — Compact manual kakigori (shaved ice) machine |
| Brand / Colour | Swan, Black (compact) |
| Cutting disc | 120mm effective diameter |
| Ice type | Block or cubed ice |
| Drive / texture | Manual gear drive; stepless coarseness adjustment |
| Included | 1 water tray, 1 ice cup, 1 scoop, 1 rose ice holder |
| Origin | Japan |
Can it use cubed ice?
Yes. This compact takes both block and cubed ice, which makes it practical for a kitchen that already has a standard ice machine. Block ice gives the finest, driest snow, but the ability to run on cubes means you can make kakigori without sourcing special ice.
What is included?
It comes ready to serve: a water tray, an ice cup, a scoop and a rose ice holder, the part that shapes the ice into a neat, rounded mound. So you can start making and presenting kakigori straight away.
How do I maintain it?
The blade is rust-resistant stainless steel; keep the machine clean and dry between uses. Sharpness is what gives fine snow, and the blade is replaceable, so most performance issues are solved by fitting a fresh blade. Spare blades are available separately.
