ABOUT · DATA · TRANSPARENCY
An independent ice guide that turns public sources into clear travel decisions without pretending a listing is live stock.
Flavor pages are checked on every visit. FamilyMart and 7‑ELEVEN store lists keep separate official snapshot dates.
Regional campaigns and machine types guide the estimate. Changeover timing can still vary by store.
When a chain does not publish live store stock, ICE MAP never turns a candidate store into a guarantee.
ORIGINAL WORK INDEX
Two official service lists, machine types and map pins are combined without presenting a candidate store as live inventory.
2,952candidate-store snapshotOpen the store map →Official flavor pages are rechecked on entry. Main, regional, limited, and store-unknown states stay separate rather than being filled with social rumors.

223published qualifying shopsChoose a city stop →Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, and Hong Kong are compared by real service format, with direct routes to official store or stock tools.

Editorial copy, source explanations, policy pages, and four-language consistency were last reviewed on this date.
1,914 FamilyMart and 1,038 7‑ELEVEN candidates · snapshot dated Sep 19, 2026.
Official product pages and tracked wording are counted separately. Stock guides never become proof of live stock at one store.
Of 254 candidates, 31 remain unpublished because they fall below 4.2 or cannot be matched exactly. Ratings snapshot: Aug 17, 2026.
Anonymous submissions never rewrite a public page automatically. Weak or conflicting evidence remains visibly unconfirmed.
The applicable consent or opt-out choice appears according to location and prior selection without interrupting readers elsewhere.
Recent updates
Every item in the current official catalog now carries an aligned English, Japanese, and Korean name and flavor description, and local-language terms work in catalog search. If the official page adds an unknown item, ICE MAP states exactly which fields are verifiable instead of showing unfinished copy or inventing ingredients.
Every monetized page now has its primary editorial review date checked again after deployment. An invalid date, one more than a day in the future, or a review older than 45 days fails the production health check, so a plausible-looking timestamp cannot quietly become stale.
The editorial guide now offers a downloadable CSV with four-language place names and explains how 2,952 candidates are recalculated from unique store IDs, address cities, chains, dual-flavor equipment, and limited flags. All 22 rows and chain subtotals must return the national totals, while live inventory is explicitly excluded.
The editorial guide recalculates chain counts, dual-flavor machines, limited candidates, and national share for all 22 counties and cities from the same 2,952-store official-candidate snapshot. Every localized row opens the matching store filter, with explicit evidence limits and a touch-friendly mobile table.
The Taiwan, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, and Macau destination pages now carry their own pre-trip limits for seasonal menus, preparation, last order, weather, moves, and branch changes. The cross-page originality gate also rises, so only actionable destination judgment counts as added depth.
Tools may assist synchronization, change comparison, translation consistency, and formatting. Their output is never treated as a factual source and cannot independently decide stock, recommendations, rankings, or corrections. Every published claim must still pass traceable-source and editorial checks.
Route introductions, independent route readings, and same-day cautions now use meaningful paragraph structure in every language without changing the concise visual hierarchy. The originality audit also excludes only the true site footer, so it can no longer miss editorial work after an internal section footer.
Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, and Macau no longer rely on one shared list template. Every four-language destination page now adds an independently written reading of local textures, city rhythm, and choosing context, with a concise single-column mobile layout.
The About page now leads with its three latest material changes and moves older records into an accessible disclosure. Every entry remains in the page for verification and discovery, while mobile readers no longer cross more than a dozen history cards before continuing.
Store, flavor, Japan, Hong Kong, and Macau entry pages now publish consistent ownership, human-review dates, free-access status, and valid localized editorial-principles links in structured data. Production checks block releases when these signals are missing.
Publisher accountability now shows 254 candidates, 223 published shops, and the excluded count directly from the current data rather than a manual claim.
The Asia convenience guide now compares Taiwan, Japan, South Korea, and Hong Kong by main format, strongest official signal, first move, and what public data still cannot prove. Mobile uses a one-column reading flow and 48px actions.
The Taiwan soft-serve editorial guide now has a four-language jump path for ice types, the four checks, chain comparison, original data, regional access, city routes, and publishing rules. Mobile uses 48px targets and a swipeable row.
The 2,952-store Taiwan snapshot is recalculated across north, central, south, east, and the offshore islands, with chain counts, dual-flavor machines, and national share shown beside the reminder that quantity is not live stock.
A four-language index on the About page states what the Taiwan map, flavor checks, city picks, and Asia convenience guide each organize, interpret, and limit, then links directly to the usable work.
Destination pages compute city density and ice-style mix directly from published picks, then link back to each city or full filter. Ad order, search popularity, and below-standard candidates never enter the counts.
Routes, explanations of why each place is known, first-order notes, and data comparisons are written by ICE MAP editors. External sources verify attributable facts; reviews, social posts, marketing copy, and third-party photos are not republished.
New independently edited routes for Taipei, Kyoto, Seoul, and Hong Kong keep each plan to three stops, explain the tasting idea and pace, and state what still needs a same-day check.
City and convenience guides now state independent editing, review date, publishing standard, and the correction path beside the article itself instead of leaving that responsibility only in structured data or the footer.
Google-certified consent choices cover the EEA, UK, and Switzerland, supported US states have a Do Not Sell or Share option, and all four privacy pages now link to Google's official data-use explanation.
The 2,952-store Taiwan snapshot now supports original measures of brand share, dual-flavor coverage, and the regional spread of limited candidates, with the limits stated beside them.
Every candidate needs an independent source and a Google Maps rating snapshot. Only exact matches rated 4.2 or above remain published.
LIVE DATA HEALTH
Three public-data groups are checked again now.
Checking both official store snapshots
Checking official flavor sources
Checking official Japan product pages
ICE MAP is an independently edited public-information project for people looking for ice in Taiwan, Japan, cities across Asia, and Silicon Valley. It is not operated by a convenience-store chain or listed shop. The ICE MAP editorial team is responsible for the published wording, source hierarchy, corrections, and the clear separation between advertising and recommendations.
Each visit bypasses CDN caching when checking Taiwan flavor sources and 5 official Japan product pages. Returning to an older tab triggers another check. FamilyMart and 7‑ELEVEN store lists are synchronized separately, and a source older than 48 hours is flagged. Japan monitoring compares 35 tracked product labels with the published baseline and this device’s previous visit. A fresh request still cannot prove that one store has just restocked.
These links explain whether a chain lets visitors check a product, region, or store. They are not mixed into product-change monitoring, and an app result is never treated as a promise that stock will remain when you arrive.
Your location is used in the browser only to sort nearby Taiwan stores or open a Google Maps search. ICE MAP does not save it. Favorites, recent stores, outing plans, trip picks, tasting-passport notes and the on-device taste fingerprint from up to 12 recent cups, exchange rates, and page fingerprints stay on this device.
ICE MAP can be added to a phone’s home screen. Online visits prefer the latest page and source check. Saved information appears only when the connection fails and is labeled as offline.
ICE MAP is an independent guide. Sellouts, flavor changeovers, machine cleaning, temporary pauses, and personal app offers are not fully visible in public data. Use the official locator or call the store before traveling far.
ICE MAP uses Google AdSense to help cover operating costs. Only the four localized long-form Asia convenience guides can request ads. Home, destination, store, flavor, report, correction, about, privacy, editorial-method, and trip tools remain ad-free. Ads never decide inclusion, order, or recommendations; ICE MAP publishes no paid rankings or sponsored picks.
Routes, reasons for inclusion, first-order notes, comparisons, and risk warnings are written by ICE MAP editors from traceable sources. Scenic artwork on the home and city guides is art-directed, AI-generated editorial illustration—not documentary evidence of a shop, product, or live stock—and is labeled in context. Automation is never a factual source and cannot independently decide stock, recommendations, rankings, or corrections. Brand and shop trademarks remain with their owners.
The practical guide explains how ICE MAP turns store snapshots into travel decisions, keeps facts separate from suggestions, and refuses to present a candidate store as guaranteed stock.
