Discover a New Texture with dari K's Summer Delight

This summer, the renowned chocolate brand dari K is set to bring a refreshing twist to your traditional desserts with their limited-edition "Crunchy Cacao and Cashew Milk Shaved Ice." Launching on June 5, 2025, at the dari K Marunouchi Oazo store, this unique dessert is designed to offer an exhilarating experience with its signature crunchy texture.

A Unique Experience!

The "Crunchy Cacao and Cashew Milk Shaved Ice" is crafted by drizzling 100% cacao chocolate paste over finely shaved ice made from sweet cashew milk. The magic happens when the warm cacao hits the cold ice, transforming instantly into a crunchy texture that accentuates the fluffy shaved ice beneath. This year, guests will have the opportunity to experience the transformation themselves at the store, making it a true interactive dessert experience.

Observed with astonishment, the cacao begins to solidify upon contact with the cool ice, making every serving a captivating visual treat.

Quality Ingredients

Dari K prides itself on sourcing high-quality ingredients for its creations. The fluffy shaved ice is derived from homemade cashew milk, made from meticulously selected cashew nuts harvested in Indonesia. Not only do they import the nuts directly, but they also roast them to intensify their flavor before blending them with cane sugar instead of white sugar. This process results in a rich and aromatic cashew milk that perfectly complements the natural bitterness and acidity of the cacao paste. The contrast between the crunchy cacao mass and the sweet and soft cashew milk ice will surely tantalize your taste buds.
