Discover the Summer Shaved Ice at The Capitol Hotel Tokyu

As temperatures soar in Tokyo, The Capitol Hotel Tokyu is set to bring relief to both locals and visitors this upcoming summer season. From July 1, 2026, guests can indulge in some specially crafted shaved ice desserts at the hotel’s lounge, ORIGAMI, and its Chinese restaurant, Hoshigaoka. These delightful treats aim to provide a gourmet escape befitting the hotel’s reputation for quality and elegance.

A Refreshing Take on Classic Flavors

This summer, a standout addition to the menu at ORIGAMI is the new Strawberry Milk Shaved Ice. This exquisite dessert melds traditional flavors with an upscale twist, featuring rich strawberry compote and puree along with a medley of fresh and dried strawberries. Each serving is topped with airy ice, creamy vanilla ice cream, and a light strawberry foam, presenting a multisensory experience that tantalizes the taste buds. Guests are encouraged to finish with a drizzle of sweet condensed milk and fresh strawberry sauce to enhance the harmony of flavors and aromas.

The menu doesn't stop there. Another exciting offering is the Melon Frappe, a luxurious creation made from half a ripe Japanese Earl melon served in its own rind. It boasts a refreshing aroma and sweetness, elevated further by homemade vanilla ice cream and chunks of the fruit itself, assuring a uniquely refreshing taste right to the last bite.

Catering to those who prefer tradition, the hotel presents Uji Kintoki, which features the rich flavor of matcha paired with sweet red beans, arranged beautifully in two layers, bringing an authentic Japanese dessert experience that is equally refreshing in the heat.

An Unforgettable Japanese Experience

Notably popular from last year, the Persimmon Shaved Ice at Hoshigaoka is returning for another summer. This treat makes use of premium, fully frozen Saijo persimmons, known for their deep sweetness and rich texture, harmoniously blended with fluffy, snow-like ice. To amplify the flavor profile, a syrup crafted from the same persimmons is drizzled atop, enhancing every bite with an explosion of rich fruit flavor. This dessert forges a delightful connection to the Japanese summer, allowing diners to savor the natural sweetness of seasonal fruits.

For those looking for a unique drinking experience, don't forget to check out the summer-exclusive mojitos at the hotel's bar on the fourth floor and explore the pastry boutique for limited-edition cookie cans during this hot season.
