Hotel New Otani Makuhari Offers 3 Varieties of ‘New Edo Shaved Ice’

Hotel New Otani Makuhari is offering three varieties of “New Edo Shaved Ice” at their Japanese restaurant “Senbazuru.”

The three flavors are the mildly sweet “Wasambon,” the fruit-filled “Strawberry,” and the tropical-scented “Mango.” “Wasambon” features white bean paste, yokan jelly, and black honey bean paste hidden inside natural ice, topped with wasambon sauce. “Strawberry” is matched with a sauce made from 100% Amaou, a select strawberry from Fukuoka. “Mango” is elaborately crafted with mango jelly containing fruit pieces and black honey jelly inside, and generously topped with mango kudzu sauce. All three varieties are finished with a topping of meringue in four flavors: vanilla, strawberry, mint, and mango.

The ice used is “Nikko Natural Ice” made at a long-established ice chamber in Nikko. Spring water is drawn to ice fields in the mountains, left to freeze naturally without interference in the harsh winter cold, a traditional method that takes time and patience. The slow freezing process results in ice that is low in impurities, high in transparency, and offers a smooth texture that doesn’t numb the head.

The period for this offering is from July 1 to September 15. It will be suspended from July 18 to 21 due to the Ebisu “Sanpi Ryoron” fair. The hours are weekdays from 11:30 AM to 2:00 PM last order (LO), and from 5:00 PM to 8:30 PM LO. On weekends and holidays, from 11:30 AM to 2:30 PM (last order) and from 5:00 PM to 8:30 PM. Prices are 2,800 yen for “Wasambon” and “Mango,” and 2,500 yen for “Strawberry,” tax included, service charge excluded.
