Delight in a Unique Pineapple Shaved Ice at Hotel New Otani
Tokyo's Hotel New Otani is inviting dessert lovers to experience a stunning new creation at its all-day dining venue, SATSUKI. This masterpiece, known as the "Pineapple Shaved Ice?", is available until August 31, 2026, and promises to be a feast for both the eyes and the palate.
What sets this dessert apart is not just its surprising appearance, resembling a whole pineapple, but also its rich combination of flavors and textures. Crafted from fresh, fully-ripened pineapples, the shaved ice is infused with the refreshing scent of lime, making it a perfect representation of summer.
A Taste of Tropical Paradise
The shaved ice is luxuriously made using half of a ripe pineapple, delivering not only sweetness but also a visual appeal that is Instagram-worthy. As you work your way through the dessert, you'll encounter chewy sago tapioca coated with coconut jelly, along with refreshing pineapple marinated in lime zest and honey. This multi-layered treat offers a delightful progression of flavors with every bite.
To enhance the experience, a generous drizzle of luscious pineapple sauce and creamy coconut sauce adds to its tropical essence. The combination of juicy pineapple and the gentle sweetness of coconut makes this dessert an ideal treat for the warm summer months.
Crafted with Natural Ice
The shaved ice is made using the finest Nikkō natural ice, known for its fluffy texture, created through a traditional method where fresh mountain spring water slowly freezes in nature's chill. Once harvested, the ice is carefully stored in sawdust, allowing it to mature and develop its signature qualities. The artisans from Nikkō dedicate their skill to producing this ice, known for its high transparency and low impurity levels. When consumed, it melts in your mouth like cotton candy, providing a delicate touch and refreshing coolness that elevates the overall experience of the dessert.
Quench Your Thirst with a Refreshing Beverage
Alongside the enticing shaved ice, SATSUKI also offers a limited-edition drink for summer enthusiasts, the "Elder Pine Fizz" priced at ¥2,000 (service charge extra). This delightful concoction balances the rich sweetness of pineapple with the zesty acidity of lime juice and the floral aroma of elderflower. The refreshing lime enhances the juicy pineapple flavor, while the bubbly aspect adds a pleasant finish, making it a perfect summer beverage.
