The Japanese lifestyle brand BRUNO is releasing a new kitchen appliance called the "2WAY Juicer & Shaved Ice" in late June 2026. The cordless device combines a shaved ice maker and a juicer in a single compact unit, available in two colors for 6,380 yen (tax included).
With record-breaking heat becoming a regular feature of Japanese summers, demand for easy home cooling options — alongside specialty-shop-quality desserts and indulgent "treat-yourself sweets" — has grown considerably. At the same time, shaved ice machines are often criticized for taking up storage space once summer ends. BRUNO addresses both concerns by fusing a daily-use juicer with a seasonal shaved ice function, creating an appliance designed to stay on the counter all year round.
A New Kind of Seasonal Appliance — Out Year-Round
Swapping the attachment unit transforms the machine from a shaved ice maker into a juicer. The USB-rechargeable cordless design means it can be used not just in the kitchen but also in the living room, on a balcony, or even while camping.
Point 1: Café-Style Fluffy Shaved Ice at Home
The machine produces finely shaved, melt-in-your-mouth ice reminiscent of specialty dessert shops. Beyond the standard ice made with the included ice cups, it can also shave flavored ice made from frozen juice or milk, enabling rich, indulgent dessert ice creations. Three ice cups are included, making it easy to prepare multiple flavors at once or share with family members.
Point 2: Fresh Smoothies on Busy Mornings — Powerful Blending with Auto-Off
The juicer uses stainless steel blades. Just add favorite fruits or vegetables and blend for a smooth result. The auto-stop function kicks in after approximately 40 seconds, so a fresh drink is ready quickly even on hectic mornings.
Point 3: Nuance Colors That Blend into Any Interior
The appliance comes in two colorways designed to complement a wide range of kitchen styles. "White" offers a clean, classic look that brightens any kitchen, while "Blue Gray" brings a subtly modern touch that works well in Nordic-inspired or contemporary spaces.
Simple, Smart Operation
How to Make Fluffy Shaved Ice
Set the ice made using the dedicated cup, then press the button twice — that's all it takes. The ice can be dispensed directly into any favorite bowl. A magnetic attachment system makes setup smooth and fast.
Note: Use only ice made with the included ice cups. Commercially sold rock ice and ice made in a standard home freezer in block form cannot be used.
How to Make Fresh Juice
Place bite-sized fruits or vegetables and a liquid such as water or milk into the bottle, close the lid, invert the bottle, and press the button twice. The blender runs for about 40 seconds and stops automatically — a fresh drink is ready by the time you finish getting ready.
Notes: Cut ingredients into roughly 1 cm pieces. Remove seeds, stems, thick skins, or shells before use. The juicer is designed for fresh juice only — do not use meat, nuts, ice, or other hard ingredients. Frozen fruits and vegetables must be fully thawed before use.
Your Home as a Specialty Café: 6 Recipes Made Possible by the 2WAY Cordless Design
From healthy morning routines to luxurious evening moments, here are six recipes that showcase what the 2WAY cordless design makes possible every day of the year.
Theme 1: Upgrade Everyday Favorites — Dessert Shaved Ice & Smoothies
■ Mixed Berry Yogurt Shaved Ice
A refreshing yogurt-flavored shaved ice loaded with mixed berries. A hint of honey adds a gentle sweetness. The vibrant appearance and clean flavor make it a great choice as the weather heats up.
■ Kiwi Frappe
Fresh kiwi's bright tartness pairs beautifully with sweet condensed milk, with pistachio topping adding a pleasant crunch. Using both the juicer and shaved ice functions creates a layered texture and flavor combination. A vitamin-rich treat ideal for hot days.
■ Fruit Mix Juice
A mixed juice featuring the fruity character of strawberry, banana, and apple, rounded out with milk and honey for a smooth, mellow finish. A nutritious option that even kids will enjoy.
Theme 2: A New Dimension for the Dining Table — "Savory Shaved Ice" & Adult Variations
■ Tomato Ice Colorful Cappellini
A chilled pasta dish topped with fluffy shaved frozen tomato juice. The tomato's umami melts in the mouth as it cools, weaving together with a garlic-soy dressing. The colorful vegetables make for a stunning presentation, ideal for summer entertaining or a weekend lunch. A simple extra step of "shaving" transforms everyday pasta into something special.
■ Cotton Snow Grated Daikon Sudachi Soba
Frozen grated daikon radish shaved like soft cotton snow dissolves gently on the tongue, paired with the refreshing aroma of sudachi citrus. Heating frozen soba in the microwave means the dish comes together without turning on the stove — a welcome feature in summer. Freezing the mentsuyu noodle broth is another option that prevents flavor dilution as the ice melts.
Note: This appliance does not have a grating function for daikon or similar ingredients.
■ Sunset Pine (Cocktail)
A vodka-based cocktail generously topped with shaved pineapple ice. Grenadine syrup settling into the orange juice creates a sunset-like gradient, instantly turning home time into a bar-like experience. The perfect end-of-day indulgence — or, without the alcohol, a rich frozen fruit drink for any occasion.
Note: When freezing food ingredients only, use items with high water content, pack them tightly with minimal gaps, and freeze thoroughly.
