About RIHGA Royal Hotel Kokura’s Seasonal Shaved Ice
The hotel’s Japanese sweets corner inside the Sarakura restaurant offers monthly seasonal shaved ice desserts that celebrate the transition from summer to autumn. In August, the highlight is the “Peach Shaved Ice,” which uses a whole juicy peach. The shaved ice is delicately flavored with syrup and condensed milk, topped with whipped cream at its center, and adorned with generous peach pieces and peach sauce, delivering a refreshing and richly fruity experience.
In September, the menu shifts focus to sweet potatoes with the “Kintoki Imo Shaved Ice,” featuring two types of sweet potatoes: Naruto Kintoki and Beni Haruka. This version includes steamed sweet potatoes, homemade red bean paste, whipped cream, ice cream with a honey-like sweetness inside the ice, chocolate crunch toppings, and a honey sauce on the side to enhance the flavors.
