Gugugu

Summer kakigori fix

Gugugu is a small store in Niigata City's Chuo ward that specializes in kakigori. They have a fairly simple lineup of flavors -- Echigohime strawberry (a local Niigata strawberry type), Kyoto Uji matcha, and a kuromitsu/kinako type, plus a weekly seasonal variety. Strawberry is 1000 yen, with the other two priced slightly higher at 1100 yen. You can also add condensed milk to any of the kakigori types for an additional 100 yen.
