I saw the developer's obsession and seriousness in the review of the special shaved ice machine 'Funny Shaved Ice Imuraya Azuki Bar' that can sharpen the 'Azuki Bar' that boasts hardness like a weapon.



Isn't it the

same structure as the armor material developed during World War II ? Takara Tomy Arts will introduce ' Funny Shaved Ice Imuraya Azuki Bar ,' which turns the Azuki Bar, which is famous for its weapon-like hardness, into shaved ice. I was able to rent the 'Funny Shaved Ice Imuraya Azuki Bar', which was said to be difficult to develop so much that the person in charge of Imuraya said, 'I never really thought it would be completed.' I tried to see what kind of item it was.

This is the strange shaved ice Imuraya Azuki bar package.



There are 3 items inside: the main body, the Nukurun bar, and the instruction manual.



The main body size is 120 x 190 x 75 mm.



The main body is designed to open the gearbox as follows. Gears are set inside, and the teeth that sharpen the azuki bar are metal blades.



So I prepared azuki bar. 'Funny Shaved Ice Imuraya Azuki Bar' is exclusively for Imuraya BOX Azuki Bar and Azuki Bar 65ml , so be careful not to buy an 85ml size Azuki Bar by mistake.



In addition, the Azuki bar that is actually scraped is so hard that the blade does not stand even if you try to stab it with a fork.

To set the Azuki bar, first remove the rack gear from the gearbox.



With the safety cover open ...



Gently insert the azuki bar between the covers.



After inserting the Azuki bar, insert the rack gear into the gearbox, fix the Azuki bar with the goodwill guide labeled 'Azuki', and close the gearbox.



The next thing I will use is this 'Nukerun Bar'. It is a device specialized for pulling out the stick of the azuki bar.



The other side looks like this.



Set this on the stick of the adzuki bar with the clip facing up as shown below.



Take down the clip ...



If you turn the dial slowly ...



The stick will come off.



I don't know what it is from just the photos, but if you watch the movie below, you can see how to pull out the stick in one shot.

I tried pulling out the stick using the Nukurun bar of 'Funny Shaved Ice Imuraya Azuki Bar' --YouTube


According to the special site of 'Funny Shaved Ice Imuraya Azuki Bar' , 'Funny Shaved Ice Imuraya Azuki Bar' was originally in the form of scraping only ice without pulling out the stick, but the presence of the stick resists it. It was said that it could not be scraped well due to the occurrence and repeated failures many times. So I took the plunge and changed the direction to the method of pulling out the stick, and continued development while raising the voice that 'It is difficult to sharpen, but pulling out the stick is a higher hurdle?' Even if you don't know this process, when you actually use the Nukurun bar, you can easily see the stick coming out of the ticking azuki bar. I will raise my voice.

After pulling it out, just turn the handle and shave it.



You can see how it is actually scraped from the following movie.

One thing to keep in mind when using 'Funny Shaved Ice Imuraya Azuki Bar' is 'Please use the Azuki Bar stored with the freezer temperature set to' standard 'or' medium '.' Otherwise, the Azuki bar will be too hard. The azuki bar that was left overnight with the freezer set to 'medium' was scraped relatively without any effort, but when I tried to scrape the one that had been left for a few days after that, it became too hard and a little force was applied. I needed it. The target age is over 15 years old, but it may be difficult for small children because of the size of the main body and the fact that it requires some strength.



After turning the handle for about 2 minutes, the azuki bar disappeared completely.



This is the shaved ice.



At first glance, the azuki beans are well shaved along with the ice cubes.



Compared to the Azuki bar before shaving, it looks like this.



When I try to eat it, the identity of 'hardness' disappears from that azuki bar with no trace, and it melts softly in my mouth. It does not have the crispy texture of ordinary shaved ice, but is fluffy like bubble snow. However, the solid flavor of azuki beans remains, so I got a glimpse of one side of the new Azuki bar ....



In addition, if you pour milk, it will become an azuki bar shake.



You can enjoy a smoothie-like texture by adding the mildness of milk to the sweetness of the azuki bar. This is certainly not possible with a stick-shaped azuki bar.



In addition, it is said that you can make an azuki bar shaved ice parfait by using canned sardines and fruits, so I prepared shiratama and fruits.



Serve on Morimori ……



When I tried it, the sweetness of the red bean paste in the azuki bar and the acidity of the fruit go well together. If it is normal shaved ice, there is syrup, but since the azuki bar is originally like shaved ice with red bean paste and syrup, you can make it as a parfait without sprinkling anything.



According to the side of the box, 'Funny Shaved Ice Imuraya Azuki Bar' has undergone six prototypes before the product is completed, and when you actually use it, you can feel the trial and error of development that can be said to be that obsession. I was there. The transition of development

is also published on the website, so I was really impressed when I used 'Funny Shaved Ice Imuraya Azuki Bar' while reading.



The manufacturer's suggested retail price of 'Funny Shaved Ice Imuraya Azuki Bar' is 2800 yen excluding tax, and it will be on sale in June 2017. At the moment of writing the article , you can apply for arrival information from the official website. The 'Funny Shaved Ice Imuraya Azuki Bar', which is said to have a hardness higher than that of sapphire, shatters the azuki bar, but be careful as it may be damaged if you scrape anything other than the azuki bar.
