Indulge in a Summer Treat: Melon Shaved Ice at Shangri-La Tokyo
As summer blooms, Shangri-La Tokyo, located in the heart of Marunouchi, is excited to unveil its renowned Melon Shaved Ice at the Lobby Lounge. This beloved summer delight makes its debut on July 1st and is set to enchant guests until September 30th.
A Refreshing Innovation
This year, the Melon Shaved Ice takes inspiration from the hotel’s beloved mascot, the Shangri-La Bear. The dessert captures its adorable likeness, making it not just a treat but a whimsical experience for both the eyes and the palate.
The bear's ears are crafted from Earl Grey macarons, which house a delicious Earl Grey ganache. Its charming face features cocoa crumble for the eyes and nose, while the mouth is beautifully encircled with baked meringue. Sitting atop this delightful creation is a layer of rich rare cheese shanty, boasting a creamy texture that melts in the mouth, adorned with a sprinkle of toasted coconut for a hint of sweetness.
Utilizing nearly an entire fresh melon, the shaved ice is prepared from lush, 100% fresh melon juice frozen and finely shaved. A hollowed-out domestic musk melon is filled with silky almond tofu, adding a delightful crunch with white chocolate and crumble accents. To complete this extravagant treat, a scoop of rich Jersey milk ice cream is generously piled atop the melon shaved ice, culminating in a harmonious blend of flavors and textures that envelops the senses.
A Perfect Pairing
To accompany the Melon Shaved Ice, guests are presented with grissini inspired by Dubai chocolate. This treat combines pistachios and white chocolate with crispy kadaif, all elegantly dipped in dark chocolate and finished with delicate coconut flakes. This addition enhances the refreshing experience of the shaved ice, providing a satisfying crunch and depth.
This summer, Shangri-La Tokyo invites you to enjoy this luxurious take on a seasonal classic within an urban oasis that balances elegance and comfort. The Lobby Lounge, located on the 28th floor, serves as the perfect backdrop for this delightful summer treat, providing stunning views while offering a calming atmosphere.
