At Hotel New Otani Makuhari, the Japanese restaurant "Senbazuru," where you can enjoy seasonal flavors, will be offering the ultimate shaved ice, "Shin Edo Kakigori," made with natural Nikko ice and the hotel's carefully selected ingredients, for a limited time from Wednesday, July 1, 2026, to the end of September. This year, we are offering two flavors: the newly introduced "Matcha" and the ever-popular "Mango."

The Secret to Avoiding the "Brain Freeze" Lies in the Ice. The Ultimate Melts Achieved with Natural Nikko Ice

"Natural Nikko Ice," formed when natural water freezes naturally due to the severe winter cold, is a true gift from nature, packed with the blessings of Japan's four seasons. Water from mountain streams is drawn to an ice field, and the ice, cut without artificial intervention after freezing naturally, is piled up in an icehouse and preserved with sawdust until the arrival of summer.

This natural ice, meticulously crafted by artisans, is free of impurities and, when shaved, achieves an incredibly fluffy, cotton-candy-like texture. Its texture, which defies the conventional image of shaved ice, and its clear, impurity-free deliciousness offer a special taste that only those who experience it can appreciate.

Its extremely smooth texture also minimizes the characteristic "brain freeze" sensation often associated with shaved ice, making it enjoyable down to the last spoonful.

[New Arrival] The King of "Japanese" Shaved Ice! "Matcha" Perfect for Early Summer

Shin Edo Kakigori ~Matcha~

A new addition, this item uses "Matcha" and "Anko" (sweet red bean paste), staples of Japanese sweets, making it a light and enjoyable treat even in the hot season. A lightly sweet anko jelly is layered with fluffy natural Nikko ice, with chewy mini daifuku hidden inside for an accent. Furthermore, a fragrant matcha kuzo (arrowroot starch) sauce is generously poured over, and finished with matcha powder. The rich, slightly bitter matcha flavor enhances the gentle sweetness of the anko and the delicate melt of the natural ice, creating a refreshing aftertaste perfect for early summer.

Inviting You to a Tropical Mood with the Gorgeous and Tropical "Mango"

Shin Edo Kakigori ~Mango~

This vibrant and refreshing dish is luxuriously made with rich mango pulp and mango jelly, generously drizzled with mango kuzo sauce. The fluffy, light natural Nikko ice is layered with the rich sweetness and fruitiness of mango, spreading a tropical aftertaste with every bite. Additionally, a rich yet refreshing brown sugar jelly is hidden inside, adding depth to the flavor. Enjoy this new sensation of shaved ice that fuses Japanese and tropical elements, offering more than just sweetness.
