A New Summer Sensation: "Crunchy Cocoa and Cashew Milk Kakigori"

Starting June 4, 2026, the dari K Marunouchi Oazo store will debut an exciting new summer treat—the "Crunchy Cocoa and Cashew Milk Kakigori." Created by Lotte Co., this refreshing dessert offers a dual-texture experience, merging the delightful crunch of cocoa with the smoothness of cashew milk ice. The innovative creation features fluffy ice made from sweetened cashew milk, topped with warm cocoa paste that instantly solidifies upon contact, resulting in a uniquely crunchy experience.

When the warm cocoa hits the cold ice, it transforms in an instant, giving diners a spectacular sensory adventure. This exclusive summer product also allows customers to witness the transformation firsthand, enhancing the overall experience of enjoying kakigori.

To elevate the flavor even further, they introduced cacao nibs as a new topping this year. This addition offers a crispy texture that complements the existing crunchiness of the cocoa, ensuring that every bite provides a delightful mix of sensations. As the trend for diverse textures grows within the culinary world, this kakigori is the ideal warm-weather delicacy.
