Hatsuyuki is a Japanese brand that produces a variety of food service equipment, but their top-selling products by far are their shaved ice machines. Hatsuyuki sells some of the best cube and block shaved ice makers on the market, creating that smooth, creamy texture that Hawaiian Shaved Ice is known for.

In this article, we’ll discuss the most affordable Hatsuyuki ice shavers, and if buying or renting one from Real Hawaiian Ice is the right option for you.

Affordable Hatsuyuki Block Ice Shavers

Block ice shavers require a large chunk of ice from a block ice mold to create shaved ice. If you’re considering a block ice shaver, it’s important to freeze enough big molds in advance, in order to prepare for your large event or gathering.

Hatsuyuki HA-110S Manual Block Ice Shaver

The least expensive option on this list, the Hatsuyuki HA-110S Manual Block Ice Shaver, costs only $845. The reason why this machine is so inexpensive in comparison to most ice shavers is because it’s a classic model that’s powered by a hand crank, so the ice is shaved by turning the wheel. This can be a great option for customers who plan a lot of outdoor events for their school, community center, or religious organization. This Hatsuyuki ice shaver doesn’t require electricity, so it can be set up anywhere.

Even though it’s hand-cranked, this block ice shaver is still a powerful machine. It has a shaving capacity of 1.6 lbs/minute and can hold up to 2.9 pounds of ice at any given time.

Hatsuyuki HB-600A Block Ice Shaver

A fantastic industrial option, the Hatsuyuki HB-600A Block Ice Shaver was recently improved for even better design and functionality. Now, the machine is lighter at only 45 lbs and is less likely to tip over due to improved stability. The clearance for the cups is higher so that larger portions of shaved ice can be distributed, and the single-door design makes it easier to clean.

This Hatsuyuki ice shaver costs a bit more at $1,795.00, but don’t let the price tag shock you. Real Hawaiian Ice offers fantastic financing options through Clicklease, so your payment for this machine could be as low as $58/month.

Affordable Hatsuyuki Cube Ice Shavers
Cube Hatsuyuki ice shavers use small cubes to create shaved ice rather than a large block. These machines tend to be smaller and could fit on a counter or table, making them excellent choices for homes or restaurants.

Hatsuyuki HC-S32A Cube Shaver

One of the perks of the Hatsuyuki HC-S32A Cube Shaver is that it still has a large shaving capacity of 4 lbs/minute and can hold 60 cubes, even though it’s a small machine at just under 20 inches tall. This shaver is a great option for restaurants or families with small children, due to its smart safety features. As soon as the lid opens, the shaver immediately stops, preventing accidental injury.

This machine uses small cubes instead of a block and still gives the same smooth quality of shaved ice. This Hatsuyuki ice shaver comes in at a reasonable $1,395.00 for the 115V option. If you think you’ll need a bit more operating power, then the 220V version is available for $1,495.00.

Hatsuyuki HC-77B Cube Ice Shaver

Another cube shaver option, the Hatsuyuki HC-77 Cube Shaver has a fantastic shaving capacity of 5.7 lbs/minute, making it the most powerful on this list. It also has a better cube capacity of 80, which means you can make more shaved ice desserts in less time. It’s the more expensive cube Hatsuyuki ice shaver at $1,495.00, but you do receive the better capacity for shaving and ice storage.

Benefits of Buying vs. Renting a Hatsuyuki Ice Shaver

Buying a Hatsuyuki ice shaver is an investment, but it’s a great option for anyone who will use it on a regular basis. Add Hawaiian Shaved Ice to your restaurant’s menu for an exciting treat, or bring it with you to your children’s sports games for a refreshing snack.
