Matsumoto Shave Ice on the North Shore is probably the most famous, but I've heard via rumor that Disney is somehow partnered with them and actually uses the same ingredients.We love the shaved ice at Aulani but would like to try the shaved ice when we are out touring the island. Any recommendations? Are there food trucks that offer the shaved ice?
Matsumoto was apparently Barack Obama's favorite spot, if that does anything for you.Thank you. We will keep an eye out when we drive up the North Shore. This is our 3rd trip to Aulani so we want to see more of the island and try some different food and treats along the way.

Interesting, hadn't heard that before! The ingredients could be the same, but we didn't think the one at Aulani was shaved as finely. Its hard to explain, but after having a few different ones over the course of 2 and a half weeks, we learned there was an actual art to shaving the ice. Perhaps Aulani has more limited equipment or perhaps the CMs aren't as experienced, but we though Matsumoto's was the best when it came to that - probably because they are so busy and doing it all day every day. The ingredients and flavors are certainly important, but its the texture that makes it IMO.Matsumoto Shave Ice on the North Shore is probably the most famous, but I've heard via rumor that Disney is somehow partnered with them and actually uses the same ingredients.
I don't think so. Of course I have had the Dole whips at the Magic Kingdom.Very good recommendations, but have you tried the dole whip at Alani ?

There are a few locations around Oahu that serve Dole Whip besides at Aulani. Dole Plantation would be the best place to get Dole Whip since it's not just the soft serve, they also have sundaes, pineapple boats & other treats using Dole Whip. Kokoro Cafe in Royal Hawaiian Center, Waikiki would be the next fanciest version of DW. Other smaller counter service restaurants also carry DW like Oh My Grill, Leeward Drive In (when their machine is not broken) & other shops in Waikiki. Aulani's version is basic DW in a cup: pineapple, vanilla or pineapple/vanilla swirl.
