Starting June 1, 2026, "Terrace and Table," the all-day dining restaurant at Hotel Metropolitan Kawasaki, will be serving "Kawasaki-gori" — an artisan shaved ice created by the hotel's pastry chef — daily from 3:00 PM to 5:00 PM.
The ice is sourced from Miyashita Seihyo Reizou, a company founded in 1900, and is made from deep natural spring water drawn from an underground aquifer in Shinshu. It is shaved into a light, snow-like texture. Three original sauces with sophisticated, adult-oriented flavor profiles are available, each finished with a fluffy Hokkaido condensed milk cream topping. The pairing of ice, sauce, and condensed milk cream makes for a luxurious and refreshing experience.

Menu Details
Fragrant Peach Kakigori with Earl Grey Sauce
A concentrated peach sauce is brightened with lemon juice for a refreshing finish. The separately served Earl Grey sauce, known for its floral aroma, is best enjoyed by adding it gradually to the bowl and savoring the shift in fragrance with each sip.
Red Fruit Kakigori
The sweet-tart intensity of raspberry sauce pairs with the rich, creamy sweetness of condensed milk cream. The result is a visually vibrant bowl that brings out the fruity character of three berries: raspberry, strawberry, and blueberry.
Hojicha Kakigori
Hojicha (roasted green tea) leaves are carefully steeped to draw out their aroma fully into fresh cream and milk. The mellow, deeply fragrant flavor is reminiscent of a hojicha latte — a refined yet approachable take on a Japanese ingredient reimagined in Western dessert form.
