Ice
Pond ice, fourteen days in the making, shaved to 0.5 mm.
Shirogoori shaves natural ice, frozen over fourteen days on a mountain pond. Shaved this thin, it vanishes before it can melt. Only the flavour stays.
Each morning one block comes down from the ice house. It is held at -3 °C until the moment it is shaved, and the blade is sharpened twice a day.
