The last stop on my way out from The North Shore was Matsumotos Shave Ice. It seemed that almost everyone I met at the North Shore recommended I come here and when I found it on the Conde Nast Traveler I knew I had to try everything on the menu. The ice is fluffy and airy something between a cloud and cotton candy except not sticky. There are what seems a hundred flavors to pick from here are the flavors:
