If you’re in Japan this summer and can’t bear the heat, then we’ve got a recommendation to cool you off. A fun and innovative ice cube tray made by Kyoto Ohata of Mousou Kousaku―who won the 2nd Zakka Awards―has been released at Village Vanguard.
The ice cube tray make your ice cubes look like human legs. Stick them into your drink and it’ll look like someone’s thighs, legs and feet are poking out. It costs ¥1,296.
The ice cubes are simple to make!
- Prepare the silicon ice cube tray.
- Pour lots of water into the holes at the top.
- Place in the freezer for 5-6 hours.
- Take off the seal and detach.
- Open up the silicon tray to reveal your ice legs.
- Put into your favourite drink!
You can combine the ice cubes with a bunch of different things for summer, not just drinks.
You can watch a funny example video showing how the ice cubes can be used. A male bartender makes a female customer a specially made ‘cursed’ cocktail. Be sure to check it out yourself!
Nothing’s better in summer than a nice cold beverage chilled with some ice. How about shaking things up a bit this summer with this ice cube tray?
