Experience the Tropical Delight of Pina Colada Shaved Ice at Keio Plaza Hotel

Introducing a Tropical Retreat

Starting June 1, 2026, the Keio Plaza Hotel in Shinjuku will unveil a limited edition tropical shaved ice dessert inspired by the beloved Pina Colada cocktail. Available exclusively in the hotel's Cocktail & Tea Lounge, only 20 servings will be offered each day until August 31, making this a much-coveted summer indulgence. The creation is the result of a collaborative effort from talented bartenders at the hotel, who have perfected the recipe through trial and error to ensure a refreshing taste for the sweltering summer days ahead.

A Summer Sensation Inspired by the Classic Cocktail

Each summer, the Keio Plaza Hotel adds creative flair to its shaved ice offerings, and this year's highlight is the unique "Pina Colada Shaved Ice." Unlike a traditional Pina Colada, which typically combines rum with pineapple juice and coconut milk, this hotel-exclusive version introduces orange juice and mango syrup for a sweeter and more vibrant flavor profile. Diners can expect to savor the perfect harmony of pineapple, coconut, mango, and orange in this tropical delight.

An Exquisite Visual Feast

This luxurious shaved ice treat is not only a delight for the taste buds but also a feast for the eyes. The fluffy shaved ice is adorned with fresh pineapple and mango chunks, as well as crispy coconut chips, providing a refreshing combination of textures. Topped with decorative pineapple leaves and a vibrant orchid, the presentation captures the essence of a tropical paradise, making it a perfect summer dessert.

A Unique Bartender's Twist on a Classic

The shaved ice features layers of coconut milk ice, tropical espuma made from mango and pineapple, and a dollop of coconut-flavored whipped cream. To ensure the original Pina Colada essence shines through, a separately served blood orange syrup is shaken to perfection by the bartenders, adding an extra touch to this exclusive dessert.

A Harmonious Balance of Flavors

Highlighting the careful balance of flavors, the shaved ice incorporates pineapple simmered in homemade ginger syrup enhanced with spices like clove, cardamom, and cinnamon. This thoughtful addition brings warmth and complexity to the dish. Diners can drizzle the provided blood orange syrup for an uplifting citrus aroma that elevates the entire experience.

Pure Ice for the Best Experience

The shaved ice is crafted using high-quality pure ice from Shinjuku Ice Industry Co., a favorite among bartenders. This ice, meticulously created from purified water, is free from impurities, ensuring that it melts slowly and provides a perfect texture that complements the syrup and toppings.

Insight from Head Bartender Natsumi Aoyagi

According to Natsumi Aoyagi, the head bartender at the Keio Plaza Hotel, the idea behind this shaved ice creation was to offer a tropical delight perfect for summer enjoyment. Through collaboration and exploration, the bartending team worked diligently to strike an ideal balance between acidity and sweetness, guaranteeing diners a one-of-a-kind shaved ice experience. The combination of ginger syrup-infused pineapple and freshly made blood orange syrup ensures that this dessert is a unique offering only available at the hotel.
