Experience a Refreshing Summer Treat at Shibuya Excel Hotel's Estacion Cafe

Cool Down This Summer with Estacion Cafe's Unique Kakigori

Beginning on June 20, 2025, the Estacion Cafe at Shibuya Excel Hotel will offer an exclusive selection of summer kakigori (shaved ice) for a limited time. This year, four distinct flavors are showcased, reimagined from last year's successful debut. Just as summer fully arrives in Shibuya, these delightful treats promise to cool you down and provide a refreshing respite.

The kakigori are crafted from pristine ice, carefully shaved to fluffy perfection. Each creation combines the finest ingredients and special hotel-made syrups, all featuring flavors inspired by both nostalgic and modern takes on traditional Japanese desserts. The four offerings include:

1. Strawberry Condensed Milk Kakigori

This elegant dessert begins with finely shaved pure ice, containing a hidden scoop of vanilla ice cream at its core. Topped with a concentrated strawberry confiture that bursts with sweet and tart flavors, it's accentuated by a light, airy whipped condensed milk. Each bite offers a delightful contrast of flavors that brings happiness with every spoonful.

2. Uji Kintoki Kakigori

A highlight of this collection, the Uji Kintoki features rich Uji matcha syrup layered with smooth sweetened condensed milk. It's garnished with delicate adzuki beans and mochi infused with a fragrant black syrup. As you enjoy the icy treat, you’ll discover black soybean and kinako ice cream peeking through—a dish that beautifully captures traditional Japanese tastes.

3. Tiramisu Kakigori

For coffee lovers, the Tiramisu kakigori is a luxurious option that encapsulates the deep aroma of rich coffee syrup. Light mascarpone espuma is layered throughout, revealing decadent espresso ice cream hidden beneath. This adult-oriented dessert offers a subtle balance of sweetness, perfect for savoring long after your meal.

4. HAWAIIAN Rainbow Kakigori

Visually striking, the HAWAIIAN Rainbow features vibrant syrups of strawberry, mango, melon, and blue curaçao, creating a refreshing gradient. Inside, it conceals a coconut ice cream surprise, with a swirl of mango and passion fruit sauce for an exhilarating flavor experience. This spirited treat harmonizes fruity sweetness and tang, making it the ultimate summer indulgence.
