SLD Inc. (Head office: Minato-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director and President: Yuzuru Arimura; Securities Code: 3223; hereinafter "the Company"), which plans and operates various spaces and events, has started selling limited-time shaved ice (bingsu) at 8 stores, including kawara CAFE&DINING Shinjuku-Higashiguchi store.
Last summer, it was sold only at Yokohama, Kawasaki, and Yokosuka stores and was very well received, so this year the number of stores selling it has been expanded to 8. In addition to the classic flavors of "Strawberry" and "Mango" sold last year, each store's staff developed local flavors that can only be tasted at their respective stores. For example, at the Shinjuku-Higashiguchi store, the glittering night of the "sleepless city" is expressed with flames, and the "Kabukicho Burnt Meringue Orange Bitter Chocolate" is finished with bitter chocolate and orange for an overall mature taste. At the Yokohama store, in the style of the port city of Yokohama, the "Yokohama Pudding a la Mode" is luxuriously topped with pudding a la mode, which is said to have been created by a hotel pastry chef for the families of US military officers. The base is inspired by Korean fluffy shaved ice bingsu, but it has been arranged with a kawara original yogurt flavor, and a hint of white miso is added to the cheese cream on top as a secret ingredient to add depth to the flavor.
During the sales period, a stamp rally will also be held across all 8 stores. Depending on the number of stamps, benefits such as meal tickets will be available. Please enjoy the local shaved ice at kawara this summer, which is expected to be hot.
