Taken from “Ono O’ahu“:
… After our shrimp fest, Arthur & Ryoko, Ryohei & Stacy, and Ryan & I drove south to get shave ice. The newlyweds and I patronized Aoki’s while the other half of our company stood in line at Matsumoto’s. Verdict for the best shave ice in the North Shore… Aoki’s and Matsumoto. It’s a tie for me.
What I like about Aoki’s is that the line is shorter. As for taste, there were no obvious differences with the syrups both shave ice houses used. …
