Introduction

From May 27, 2023, the Gallery & Restaurant Butaiura, managed by The Chain Museum in Azabudai Hills, Tokyo, introduces its latest culinary masterpiece: the Mango Bavarois Shaved Ice. This new addition combines gourmet artistry from a prestigious Belgian chef with a refreshing twist perfect for summertime indulgence.

Culinary Concept

Crafted by a chef who honed his skills in a two-star Belgian restaurant, this dessert goes beyond traditional shaved ice. It features a rich blend of mango flavors, paired with a luxurious homemade custard bavarois that promises an exotic and sophisticated tasting experience. As you savor each bite, the melange of lime, coconut, blue cheese, and carefully chosen spices will transport your senses to a tropical paradise.

The dessert is meticulously layered and includes:

• - Top Layer: A creamy milky sauce, mango bavarois, mascarpone whipped cream, dense mango cubes, and a hint of verbena.
• - Inner Layer: A refreshing mix of lime, mango sauce, crumbled blue cheese, coconut Riolette, coconut syrup, and three spice blends.

Every ingredient has been selected to elevate the flavor profile, making it a must-try for any dessert connoisseur. The price for this extravagant shaved ice is set at an affordable ¥1,980 (tax inclusive).
