In the summer, you want to refresh yourself with a cool, sweet shaved ice, but you're afraid of the calorie lurking beneath the delightful sweetness... For those with a high level of beauty, satisfy your cravings at Seibu Ikebukuro Main Store (1-28-1 Minami-Ikebukuro, Toshima-ku, Tokyo)! For a limited time until August 26th, you can enjoy shaved ice made with syrup containing the much-talked-about rare sugar "D-Psicose" at "Nikko Natural Ice Yondaime Tokujiro," located in the special venue inside the Okazu Market on the first basement floor. For those unfamiliar with rare sugars, a simple explanation is that they are monosaccharides found in only minute amounts in nature. One of over 50 types of monosaccharides, "D-Psicose" is calorie-free yet boasts about 70% of the sweetness of sugar. It's also said to have benefits such as suppressing postprandial blood sugar rise and preventing visceral fat accumulation. Nikko Natural Ice Yondaime Tokujiro offers three flavors made with rare sugar-containing syrup, containing 15% D-allulose. The three flavors (908 yen)—Privert with Green Tea, a blend of green tea and iron- and calcium-rich Petit Vert, a cross between kale and Brussels sprouts; Ginger & Lemon, a combination of Setouchi lemon and domestic ginger; and Wild Grape, made with fruit harvested in Iwate Prefecture—are the perfect match for the refreshing natural ice. The airy, cotton-candy-like ice melts gently in your mouth, carrying the sweet syrup down your throat. This is the power of pure, natural ice! The highly purified water soon circulates throughout your body, washing away even the stress you've accumulated.
