==History==
The origins of ''kakigōri'' date back to the [[Heian period]] in Japanese history, when blocks of ice saved during the colder months would be shaved and served with sweet syrup to Japanese aristocracy during the summer.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.scmp.com/news/asia/east-asia/article/3023286/nice-ice-baby-whats-those-pricey-kakigori-shaved-ice-desserts|title=Nice ice, baby: what's in those pricier Japanese shaved ice desserts|date=2019-08-18|website=South China Morning Post|language=en|access-date=2020-04-08|archive-date=2020-05-22|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200522050531/https://www.scmp.com/news/asia/east-asia/article/3023286/nice-ice-baby-whats-those-pricey-kakigori-shaved-ice-desserts|url-status=live}}</ref> Kakigōri's origin is referred to in ''[[The Pillow Book]]'', a book of observations written by [[Sei Shōnagon]], who served the Imperial Court during the Heian period.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.worldhistory.org/The_Pillow_Book/|title=The Pillow Book|website=[[World History Encyclopedia]]|access-date=2020-04-08|archive-date=2021-04-13|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210413143109/https://www.worldhistory.org/The_Pillow_Book/|url-status=live}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.staradvertiser.com/2019/09/26/news/natural-ice-becoming-popular-source-for-shaved-frozen-treat/|title=Natural ice becoming popular source for shaved frozen treat|first1=Nao|last1=Yako|date=2019-09-26|website=Honolulu Star-Advertiser|language=en-US|access-date=2020-04-09|archive-date=2022-08-17|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20220817024609/https://www.staradvertiser.com/2019/09/26/news/natural-ice-becoming-popular-source-for-shaved-frozen-treat/|url-status=live}}</ref> Kakigōri became more accessible in the 19th century, when ice became more widely available to the public during the summertime.<ref name=krishna>{{citation |last=Krishna |first=Priya |title=Kakigori Is an Ancient Frozen Japanese Specialty – Now It's America's Hottest Dessert, Too |newspaper=[[Grub Street]] |date=March 15, 2018 |url=http://www.grubstreet.com/2018/03/kakigori-pastry-chefs.html |access-date=September 19, 2018 |archive-date=September 19, 2018 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180919062238/http://www.grubstreet.com/2018/03/kakigori-pastry-chefs.html |url-status=live }}</ref> The first kakigōri store is believed to have opened in [[Yokohama]] in 1869.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://intojapanwaraku.com/travel/17343/|title=江戸時代は半年以上かけて氷を運んでいた。清少納言も食べていた「かき氷」の深〜い歴史に迫る ｜ 和樂web 日本文化の入り口マガジン|last=進藤つばら|website=和樂web 日本文化の入り口マガジン|language=ja|access-date=2020-04-08|archive-date=2020-05-24|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20200524131501/https://intojapanwaraku.com/travel/17343/|url-status=live}}</ref>

July 25 is known as kakigōri day in Japan because of its pronunciation sounding similar to summer ice in Japanese.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.inhamamatsu.com/recommend/japans-kakigori.php|title=Japan's kakigori or a shaved ice dessert|website=www.inhamamatsu.com|access-date=2020-04-08|archive-date=2019-12-12|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20191212203836/https://www.inhamamatsu.com/recommend/japans-kakigori.php|url-status=live}}</ref> Another reasoning for July 25 being kakigōri day is because, on that day in 1933, there was a record high temperature in Japan.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://today.jpn.org/07/25.php|title=かき氷の日 - 今日は何の日？食べ物編|website=today.jpn.org|access-date=2020-04-08|archive-date=2016-08-02|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20160802015502/http://today.jpn.org/07/25.php|url-status=dead}}</ref>
