The Royal Park Hotel Iconic Naha has announced a seasonal menu of three premium shaved ice desserts, available at the hotel’s all-day dining venue, THE 7th TERRACE RYUKYU. Designed to provide a cooling respite from the subtropical heat, these creations combine the delicate texture of finely shaved ice with vibrant seasonal fruits and traditional Okinawan elements.
Seasonal Fruit and Refined Textures
The collection leads with the Shine Muscat Shaved Ice, which features the prized seedless grapes paired with a light fromage blanc cream. Hidden within the ice is a core of yogurt sherbet, providing a clean, tart finish that complements the sweetness of the fruit. For those seeking tropical flavors, the Mango Shaved Ice utilizes rich fruit pulp and a house-made mango sauce to deliver a concentrated expression of the fruit’s natural profile.
Okinawan Traditions Reimagined
Drawing inspiration from local culinary heritage, the Strawberry Milk Zenzai Shaved Ice offers a sophisticated take on Okinawa’s traditional zenzai (a chilled dessert of sweet beans). This version incorporates fresh strawberries and condensed milk alongside sweet kintoki beans (red kidney beans), balancing nostalgia with contemporary pastry techniques.
Afternoon Service in the Kumoji District
To accommodate the launch of these seasonal desserts, THE 7th TERRACE RYUKYU will operate with dedicated tea time hours from 15:00 to 18:00. Located on the 7th floor of the Ryukyu Bank Headquarters Building, the venue offers an accessible retreat for travelers and shoppers navigating Naha’s central Kumoji area during the peak temperatures of the afternoon.
