She always had it in her "ice box" when I was little and then in her refrigerator when I got older...I wish I had asked her how to make it. It was just ginger flavor with a bit of sweetening. It was practically colorless and quenched the thirst better than anything else.

Hiyashi ame is almost like cooled shoga-yu, except it has more body from the bakugato mizuame. And some people do hate hiyashi ame because of this extra body and ginger flavor. I like it maybe mostly from nostalgic feeling associated with it… the hiyashi ame instantly brings me the image of cool shade of trees on a hot summer Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8421337.post-1118337336457143862005-06-10T02:15:00.000+09:002005-06-10T02:15:00.000+09:00Hi Obachan - I don't think I've had Hiyashi Ame be...Hi Obachan - I don't think I've had Hiyashi Ame before, but it looks/sounds really refreshing.
