Idon't know if it's really hawaiian but in ,y country (Mexico) we have this style of shaved/rasped ice and we call it "Raspado" or "Nieve Raspada" (rasped ice cream), there are two versions:

The classical in a plastic cup with milky flavours like Pecan, Vanilla, Strawberry, Milkcandy or "Water" flavours like Lemon, Strawberry, Mango, Myrtle,Tamarindo, Chamoy (the last two are sometimes spicy) and many others... it's very common and really cheap!! (price around 1 or 1.5$).

And the other one it's the same, it's shaved ice but it has an "inverse V" form, like an inverted cone, the flavours are limited but they have nice and delicious color such as the one Ayu's eating the price depends a lot of the place you buy it but it's not that expensive.

Lately my Grandma buys it a lot for she has many cravings of sweet so she buys not only for herself but for everyone of her grandsons (we're eleven!!) but she buys them only once a week. Yukiko chan already explained how to do eat them and why the cup, the form, the syrup and the straw.

It is more solid than a snowcone for the ice is still in little blocks which you might enjoy chewing at times to have some freezing flavour experience in here they're made by hand and in some places with machines but being artcrafts these sweet treats are enjoyed much better made by hand.
