【Ice Making】Create “Clear Ice” from Tap Water! Want an Ice Mold that Elevates Home Drinking
It’s the season for deliciously chilled highballs and carbonated drinks. If you want to enjoy a blissful glass with a "Cool!" sound, why not pay attention to your ice too?
It seems that "home drinking" with transparent ice might change
Even though I am particular about the types of whiskey and soda, making a highball at home somehow feels off. What caught my attention was the meticulously crafted ice mold "Malt Ice."

It’s surprisingly common for ice to have a smell.... This is because home ice makers are places where mold can easily develop. Malt Ice drew inspiration from traditional ice-making techniques to create a method that thoroughly removes impurities, leading to pure, cold ice.

By slowly freezing water, a mechanism is created that allows bubbles and impurities to be expelled downwards. It produces clear ice with 99% purity even from tap water.

It's easy to use in 3 steps
The method is the same as a typical ice maker: ① pour in the water → ② place it in the freezer to freeze → ③ take out the ice. With these 3 steps, you can create the best ice.


Because it's in the form of icicles, it melts slowly
Ice made at home or convenience store ice rattles and rolls around inside the glass. However, as it rolls, the ice melts more easily and quickly becomes lukewarm.

With Malt Ice, you can also make icicle ice, which fits perfectly in the glass.

Furthermore, the special ice-making technology increases the density of the ice. It's surprising that it takes about twice as long to melt compared to regular ice.

During parties or home drinking, it stays cold even as time passes while chatting. And it's very nice that the drinks don't get diluted.
You can make a lot of ice at once.
Traditional transparent ice makers were designed to produce only one piece at a time, but the Malt Ice can freeze two pieces simultaneously.

A storage bag for keeping the ice is also included, so you can make ice during the week and enjoy it on the weekend.

Buying commercially available convenience store ice is time-consuming and costly. However, with Malt Ice, once you purchase it, you can simply add water and use it repeatedly.
Durable and compact
transparent ice is difficult to remove from the container due to its resistance to melting, which has been a drawback. To solve this issue, Malt Ice has adopted a silicone material.

It also has high durability, so there's no need to worry about it breaking or becoming unusable quickly.
Its energy-saving design allows you to place things on top, which is also great because it saves space.
