Shangri-La Tokyo's Signature Melon Shaved Ice Returns This Summer

Melon Shaved Ice

Shangri-La Tokyo (located in Marunouchi, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; General Manager: Matthias Sutter) welcomes guests with heartfelt hospitality inspired by family values. This summer, the hotel's Lounge & Bar "The Lobby Lounge" will once again serve its popular seasonal favorite, "Melon Shaved Ice," starting July 1 (Wed).

This year, the beloved melon shaved ice returns with a fresh twist. Inspired by Shangri-La Bear, the hotel's beloved mascot, the dessert has been reimagined to maximize its charm and cuteness.

The shaved ice bear's ears are made of Earl Grey macarons filled with Earl Grey ganache. Its round eyes and nose are crafted from cocoa crumble, while the mouth area is formed with baked meringue. On top of the bear's head sits a rare cheese chantilly, known for its rich cheesecake flavor and light, creamy texture, finished with coconut fine that offers a fragrant, slightly sweet coconut aroma.

The shaved ice itself is made by freezing and shaving 100% fresh melon juice—a signature of the hotel—using nearly a whole melon for an indulgent result. Inside a halved Japanese muskmelon, almond tofu is placed and accented with white chocolate crunch and crumble for added texture. A generous scoop of rich Jersey milk ice cream is added, then topped abundantly with the melon shaved ice. The dessert delivers a harmonious blend of the melon's exquisite fragrance and rich flavor, layered with diverse textures and tastes for a deeply satisfying experience.

Served alongside the melon shaved ice is a Dubai chocolate-inspired grissini. It combines pistachio and white chocolate with crispy kadaif, coated in dark chocolate and delicately dusted with coconut fine. Rich and satisfying, it enhances the refreshing and cooling qualities of the shaved ice.

Enjoy this luxurious, limited-time summer treat made with generous portions of melon in the serene and elegant setting of the city-center hotel.
