Summer Treats at Sesame Street Market: Character Shaved Ice Delight

As the heat of summer approaches, Sesame Street Market is ready to cool you down with its delectable line-up of character-themed shaved ice, launching on June 25, 2026. This unique cafe, developed by Mash Style Lab, offers a one-of-a-kind Sesame Street experience, combining a storefront, cafe, and workshops in a whimsical atmosphere.

This year's special summer menu will include eight flavors of character shaved ice, each inspired by beloved Sesame Street characters. From the vibrant Elmo to the unique new Rainbow flavor, each creation is designed to captivate both the eyes and the taste buds. Alongside classic favorites like Cookie Monster and Big Bird, the lineup brings a refreshing twist to summer with upgraded visual presentations and unique flavor combinations.

The shaved ice is crafted using pure, high-quality Shinshu deep underground natural water. This results in finely textured ice that beautifully complements the natural colors and flavors of the syrups and toppings used. Fresh fruits, creamy ice cream, and delightful sherbets create rich textures and flavors that represent the essence of each character. To add extra twists, ingredients like red bean, mochi, and coconut are incorporated, enhancing the flavors and textures of these delightful desserts.
