Orange County-based Ryoko Rain was founded by Garrett James in 2021. Visit www.ryokorain.com
Fashion brand Ryoko Rain is bringing a taste of Hawaii to Southern California, as it partners with the legendary Matsumoto Shave Ice to celebrate their 75th anniversary. In a two-day celebration of culture, flavor, and community, this partnership is creating something truly memorable.
On Saturday, June 6, Ryoko Rain will host a historic first: Matsumoto Shave Ice will be served on the mainland U.S. for the very first time. The activation will take place inside Ryoko Rain at the Irvine Spectrum Center during normal business hours and will feature a condensed menu of the iconic shaved ice offerings.
Available while supplies last, this will be a limited and highly anticipated experience for all. A portion of net proceeds from Luau Festival will be donated to farmers in Hawaii devastated by the floods.
The celebration continues the following day, Sunday, June 7, at Tanaka Farms in Irvine with an immersive Luau Festival from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. This extended collaboration will showcase Matsumoto Shave Ice alongside a vibrant lineup of cultural activities and entertainment, including:
Fresh shaved ice served throughout the day
Exclusive collaboration merchandise
Live Polynesian dance performances and cultural entertainment by Mevina Liufau and Tavake Rereata Dance Studio
A curated selection of local food trucks
Cultural booths featuring hands-on experiences.
Entry to the event is free, but parking reservations are required and will be sold directly by Tanaka Farms, and attendees are encouraged to plan ahead. A group VIP experience will also be sold by Tanaka Farms.

The full clothing collection will be sold at Ryoko Rain in The Irvine Spectrum Center on June 6 and 7.
