Singapore’s dessert lovers, rejoice! Tokyo’s famous shaved ice café, Sakanoue, has opened its first permanent outlet in Singapore at Drips Bakery Café, Tiong Poh Road. After two popular pop-ups in 2023 and 2024, Sakanoue is finally here to stay from 4 April 2025.
Exclusive Kakigori Experience at Drips Bakery Café
At Sakanoue, you can enjoy Japanese kakigori—shaved ice that’s incredibly fluffy and delicious. Unlike regular shaved ice, Sakanoue uses premium imported Japanese ice from the famous Kuramoto Ice. This pure, high-quality ice melts slower and provides a unique, smooth texture that you won’t find anywhere else.
Signature Blackforest Kakigori Only in Singapore
Celebrate Sakanoue’s grand opening with the exclusive Signature Blackforest Kakigori. Inspired by Drips Bakery Café’s popular Blackforest Cake, this dessert features rich chocolate sauce, brandied cherries, cream cheese, tea caramel sauce, and crunchy cinnamon crumble cookies. Served with cherry brandy liqueur, this kakigori is an unforgettable treat priced at $19.80.
