This intimate eight-seat kakigori bar is signed by One Zero Design Co. and Studio Ong and is dominated by warm wood tones, sleek counters, and natural textures, giving it a minimalist vibe. Its intimate seating, including a counter setup with rattan chairs, encourages relaxed conversations while you enjoy their signature desserts and tea. The entrance is marked with clean lines and their iconic snowflake logo.

Led by Chef Sam Constantino, AzukiToyo uses a premium kakigori machine gifted by Florilège’s Chef Hiroyasu Kawate, producing soft, snow-like ice layers that melt delicately on the tongue.

Must-try flavors include the Halo-Halo Kakigori, a refined take on the beloved Filipino classic toppwed with ube, saba, jackfruit, pandan, pinipig, and leche flan; Azuki & Merengue; and the playful Mais at Keso, which combines Quezon corn with queso de bola for a surprising savory-sweet flavor.
