Experience the Unique Taste of Ham Melon Shaved Ice in Machida City

Introducing Ham Melon Shaved Ice - A Unique Summer Delight

A New Take on Traditional Flavors

In an exciting culinary twist, Lincoln Ice Confectionery in Machida has launched a unique summer treat: Ham Melon Shaved Ice. For just 2,000 yen (tax included), this innovative dessert combines the sweet juiciness of melon with the savory flavors of prosciutto, Pecorino Romano cheese, and a hint of black pepper. Available starting July 29, this creation aims to elevate the typical image of shaved ice to a sophisticated culinary experience.

The Artistic Touch of Japanese Craftsmanship

Crafted by seasoned artisans from LETS Corporation, known for their expertise in shaved ice since its inception, this dish is more than just a mix of fruit and syrup. It encompasses a balance of sweetness, acidity, saltiness, aroma, and texture. The artisans meticulously consider the harmony between each ingredient, ensuring a different taste experience with each spoonful of the Ham Melon Shaved Ice.

Why Ham in Shaved Ice?

The integration of salted ham into the sweet landscape of melon is not just for novelty. By enriching the natural sweetness of melon and allowing the flavor of the sweet fruit to shine without overshadowing it, the artisans create a complex and enjoyable flavor profile. As you savor this dish, the initial refreshing sweetness of the melon is soon complemented by the umami of the ham, the richness of the cheese, and the zing of black pepper. Each bite provides a delightful crescendo of flavors that are rarely found in typical fruit-based desserts.

A Complete Shaved Ice Experience

At Lincoln Ice Confectionery, the experience goes beyond taste. For patrons enjoying Ham Melon, complimentary ‘more condensed milk’ serves as a delightful addition, while also offering a warm broth and pickles to cleanse the palate between bites. This unique interplay of temperatures and flavors provides a refreshing yet sophisticated approach to enjoying shaved ice, enriched by the shop’s background as a casual dining establishment at night.
