The Café Bel Amer, located within the Bel Amer Jiyugaoka store, will unveil two exquisite varieties of dessert-style shaved ice starting June 19 for a limited summer season. Each creation features layers of flavors, taking your taste buds on a delightful journey with every bite. Crafted with an expert touch, the combinations of fruits, cream cheese, chocolate, and tea showcase the individual characteristics of each ingredient, resulting in desserts that offer more than just refreshment.
Berry Fromage Shaved Ice
One option,
Berry Fromage, is a luxurious summer treat made with a blend of four berries paired with pure white cream cheese. It presents a vibrant and tangy sweetness complemented by a rich creaminess that enchants your palate. The defining feature of this dessert is its carefully constructed "luxurious layers". Hidden within the ice is a scoop of vanilla ice cream, enhanced by a sophisticated
blackcurrant sauce. Further surprises include a crunchy blend of white chocolate and lemon, complemented by silky panna cotta. As you reach the bottom of your bowl, you’ll feel as if you are enjoying a parfait, culminating in a lavish experience. Topped with a crispy blackcurrant meringue, this dessert is delightful until the very last bite. Priced at
¥1,980 (tax included).
Chocolate Earl Grey Shaved Ice
The second offering,
Chocolate Earl Grey, is a remarkable creation that beautifully marries the essence of Earl Grey tea with chocolate. From the first spoonful, you’ll be greeted by rich tea aromas fused with deep chocolate flavors. As you enjoy the treat,
Earl Grey ice cream peeks from within, further enhanced by refreshing elderflower jelly and an elegant bergamot sauce, adding an exquisite touch. While indulgent, this dessert surprises with its light and citrusy finish that captures the essence of summer perfectly. It is also priced at
¥1,980.
