KOORI — Japanese Shaved Ice Dessert Bar | Complete Guide
KOORI — Japanese Shaved Ice Dessert Bar | Complete Guide
Inside this guide
Eighteen bowls built on three ice philosophies. A dessert category most Western cafés don't even know exists — and one of the highest-margin builds in dessert retail.
KOORI is the complete architecture behind Japan's premium kakigori movement: the shops with hour-long queues, $22 bowls, and a sell-out ritual that turns scarcity into marketing. This guide documents all of it — chef-standard ice science (water quality, freeze curves, blade calibration to the millimetre), six flavour families, full costing on every signature build, service scripts, retention systems, kitchen equipment specs, staff forecasting, and a complete monthly P&L.
What's inside:
- 3 ice bases, fully documented — classic, condensed milk, and kokuto, with exact ratios and temper windows
- 6 flavour families, 18 signature bowls, each with full method and food-cost breakdown
- Service scripts and a 5-mechanism retention system built for repeat visits
- Daily prep schedule, kitchen equipment list, staff forecast, and full monthly P&L (27.6% net margin)
- Franchise pathway: fee structure, royalty model, and the IP-protection principle that makes it defensible
Built by a working Head Chef. Same rigor as the NAMA28 donut architecture — a different, lower-cost-to-build category.
