氷こおりをこまかくけずった、夏なつのつめたいたべものがかき氷ごおりです。

お店みせではせんようのきかいで氷こおりをうすくけずります。

その上うえにイチゴやメロンなど、いろいろな色いろのシロップをかけます。

れんにゅうやあずきをのせて食たべることもあります。

昔むかしから日本にほんにあり、平安へいあんの時代じだいの本ほんにも書かかれています。

海うみの家いえでも売うられ、今いまも子こどもに大だいにん気きです。

Translation

Kakigori is a cold summer food made from finely shaved ice.

At the shop, they use a special machine to shave the ice thinly.

Then they pour many colors of syrup on top, such as strawberry and melon.

Sometimes people add condensed milk or red beans on top and eat it.

It has existed in Japan since long ago, and is even written about in books from the Heian period.

It is also sold at beach huts, and even today it is very popular with children.
