New Summer Delight at Cerulean Tower Tokyo
As summer approaches, the Celestial Tower Tokyu Hotel in Shibuya, Tokyo, has something special in store for ice dessert lovers. Starting from June 3, 2025, the garden lounge 'Zabou' and the garden kitchen 'Caramelo' will feature a delectable selection of four unique shaved ice creations including a highly anticipated new flavor—Royal Milk Tea.
Introduction of Royal Milk Tea Shaved Ice
The Royal Milk Tea has become a standout offering this summer, crafted with high-quality Assam tea leaves that create a rich and fragrant milk tea syrup. This syrup is luxuriously combined with vanilla ice cream to offer an indulgent treat. To enhance the experience, the dessert is topped with whipped cream and a delicate crispy wafer made from finely baked crepe. The multiple layers of flavors and textures promise a refreshing and enjoyable experience as you savor each bite.
In addition to the Royal Milk Tea, the classic favorites returning this year are Uji Matcha, Strawberry, and the tropical Mango Coconut, bringing the total to four exquisite options. Each shaved ice is generously drizzled with a subtly sweet syrup designed to accentuate the natural flavors of the ingredients. Hidden within the icy treat are also delightful surprises, like creamy ice cream and flavorful sauces that enrich the entire tasting journey.
Additionally, customers can adjust the experience according to their preferences, thanks to a special extra syrup option. They can either indulge in a thick layer for an intense treat or apply just a hint of syrup for a lighter taste, providing a customizable dessert.
Beautiful Surroundings
Shaved ice will be available at the two beautiful locations—the lush garden lounge 'Zabou' and the cozy garden kitchen 'Caramelo.' Diners will enjoy their dessert while overlooking the serene ‘Kanzatei’ garden, which has been masterfully designed by renowned Buddhist monk and garden designer Shunmyo Masuno. The carefully crafted landscape reflects Japan’s traditional rock garden aesthetic, creating a tranquil ambiance perfect for a summer retreat.
