Why Koi Ice Uses Hawaiian Snow Syrups

Why It Matters to Flavor Lovers Everywhere

Whether you grew up chasing shaved ice trucks on hot summer days or you’ve traveled the world sampling ice desserts, there’s one thing every shaved ice fan can agree on: flavor matters. At Koi Ice, we don’t cut corners — and when it comes to flavor, we use only the best base syrups available in the industry: Hawaiian Snow.

What makes Hawaiian Snow special isn’t just tradition — it’s authentic taste, consistent quality, and decades of perfected flavor science. Hawaiian Snow is a brand developed by H.T.K. Hawaii Inc. specifically for the shave ice industry, and it’s been trusted by shave ice professionals for years because of the depth, clarity, and true-to-fruit essence of its concentrates.

Flavor You Can Taste, Quality You Can Trust

Unlike ordinary sweeteners or generic syrups, Hawaiian Snow bases its products on high-quality formulations developed for shaved ice and snow cone use. This means vibrant taste, brilliant colors, and a texture that holds up beautifully on fluffy ice — every time. Many traditional and specialty shaved ice purveyors around the country choose Hawaiian Snow because the syrups are designed to maximize flavor without watering down.

Some key benefits that make Hawaiian Snow the right choice for Koi Ice:

🍧 Authentic, island-inspired flavor — curated by a Hawaiian company rooted in shave ice history.

  • Formulated for shaved ice — these aren’t generic drink syrups; they’re concentrates meant to distribute perfectly on snow-fine ice.

  • Made with quality ingredients in trusted facilities — Hawaiian Snow’s formulations are ready to use and trusted by professionals.

  • Consistency you can rely on — every event, every flavor, every time.

At Koi Ice, we convert these Hawaiian Snow concentrate syrups into our own custom blends — ensuring your shaved ice tastes balanced, bold, and true to the character of the fruit or flavor you chose.

Not All Syrups Are Created Equal

Walk into any shaved ice stand and you’ll find some use cheap sugary dyes and generic syrups that are overly sweet and flat in flavor. That’s not how we do things.

This is why fans from all over rave about our flavor lineup — and why folks will travel just for the chance to enjoy a perfect shaved ice from Koi Ice.
