A flake ice-making apparatus includes a cylindrical refrigerant evaporator having a cylindrical evaporator chamber surrounding a cylindrical ice-forming bore surface. A water-flow distributor for introducing water to be frozen against the ice-forming bore surface is located at the top end of the cylindrical refrigerant evaporator so that the water flows downwardly in a thin sheet over the ice-forming bore surface and is frozen on the ice-forming bore surface. An elongated ice-scraping blade is located at the ice-forming bore surface. An ice-scraping blade moving device moves the ice-scraping blade in a rotary motion over the ice-forming bore surface to remove the ice from the ice-forming bore surface and to form ice flakes.
