Perfect Weather Forever
Specialty Food Artisan
About
Perfect Weather Forever embodies a feeling. We are looking to provide the joyful experience of impossibly thin planar shavings of ice dissolving into flavor. Perfect Weather Forever is a reinterpretation of Japanese shave ice, known as Kakigōri. Our underlying philosophy originates from the unique partnership of our skills and interests which intersect around this product. With backgrounds in architecture, art, design, hospitality and fine dining we believe every aspect of a project deserves equal deliberation and care which extends to flavor profiles, textures, gracious service, beautiful ingredients, graphic identity, architecture, customer interaction and community partnerships,
Our Kakigōri is like biting into a frozen cloud which leaves behind only flavor. The foundation of the product is ice. Our ice originates from incredibly pure water which is carefully frozen and precisely trimmed to exact specifications. The ice is then hand shaved on vintage Hatsuyuki machines which operate by a crank. A mountain of snow appears before the customer. This ice provides the purest canvas for flavor while allowing us to explore infinite variations of taste, texture and appearance.
With hints of nostalgia for an endless summer, snow cones as a kid and simple pleasures, we want to provide an experience which is beautiful, fleeting and memorable.
