Not stopping for a shave ice while visiting the North Shore of Oahu is like not going surfing when visiting the North Shore of Oahu. Sadly our choices of the best shave ice on the planet are soon to be reduced to one when Aoki’s is forced to shutter it’s doors on July 31, 2013 so that a strip mall can be built.  Yes, this is progress on the North Shore of Oahu in the year 2013.  So sad and on top of that no one even remembers the cute candle shop that stands next to Aoki’s.
