Ice Crafted from Tap Water — A Work of Art

As traditional ice suppliers continue to close their businesses, an increasing number of restaurants and hotels are facing challenges in securing a stable supply of high-quality clear ice.
“TOMIKO – Transparent Beauty Ice” is a block ice-making machine designed to address this issue.

Based on an ice-making machine originally developed by our founder approximately 40 years ago, TOMIKO has been redesigned to meet modern needs. By applying a proprietary water-flow treatment, it reduces impurities in tap water and produces high-quality block clear ice (approximately 7.5 kg / 2-kanme) in as little as 24 hours.

The ice produced is characterized by its high transparency, hardness, and slow melting properties. In bars, it enhances the flavor of whiskey and cocktails, while in cafés it can be used for premium shaved ice with a smooth texture.

In addition, because ice can be produced on-site without relying on logistics or external suppliers, TOMIKO contributes to a stable supply, consistent quality, reduced procurement burden, and improved responsiveness during emergencies.
