Hotel New Otani Osaka will offer a special limited-time dessert, the 'Shin-Edo Shaved Ice,' at its two restaurants—'Men-dokoro NAKAJIMA' and Kisetsu 'Ichigo'—from now until late September 2026 (planned). This unique treat combines rare natural ice from the Southern Alps and Yatsugatake with premium ingredients selected by the hotel's pastry chefs.

The Ultimate Shaved Ice, Featuring Signature Sauces Crafted by Trendsetting Pastry Chefs

The 'Shin-Edo Shaved Ice,' a summer favorite that draws loyal fans every year, returns once again. The 'natural ice,' carefully crafted by artisans and shaved paper-thin, delivers an elegant texture and a refreshing aftertaste. Paired with the hotel pastry chefs' signature kuzu (arrowroot) sauces and jellies, this is the ultimate shaved ice—an indulgent experience that fulfills every dessert lover's dream.

No Brain Freeze? Experience the Natural Wonder: 'Yatsugatake Natural Ice'

For the shaved ice, we use rare 'natural ice' formed by slowly freezing spring water from the Southern Alps and Yatsugatake using natural winter cold. Carefully stored in traditional ice houses, this ice becomes incredibly soft and fluffy when shaved—resembling cotton candy. Its exceptionally smooth mouthfeel minimizes the typical brain freeze associated with shaved ice, allowing a pleasant coolness to gently spread throughout the body.

Luxurious Flavors: Matcha and Mango Varieties

Shin-Edo Shaved Ice Matcha

Generously layered with a rich 'matcha kuzu sauce' that enhances the aromatic flavor of high-grade matcha. Hidden within the ice are 'small-sized daifuku' and 'anko (red bean) jelly,' creating a delightful evolution of taste with every bite—an intricate, signature creation unique to Hotel New Otani Osaka.

Shin-Edo Shaved Ice Mango

Abundantly featuring mango, a quintessential fruit of early summer. The ice encapsulates 'mango jelly' with real fruit pieces and a rich 'kuromitsu (black sugar) jelly.' Finished with a refreshing 'mango kuzu sauce,' this flavor bursts with summery vibrancy.
