INTERSECT BY LEXUS - TOKYO's summer-only menu, "Cotton Ice," is a playful new shaved ice experience

Jun 8, 2022
INTERSECT BY LEXUS - TOKYO (hereinafter INTERSECT) will begin serving shaved ice, a summer staple, from June 8th. This summer, INTERSECT will be serving "Cotton Ice," characterized by fluffy cotton candy on top of the ice.


While we've been spending a lot of time at home this summer, unable to go out as much as we'd like, we want everyone to enjoy summer to the fullest this year, so we've created a shaved ice that is both visually and tastefully pleasing, encapsulating the essence of summer.

The first thing that catches your eye is the large, fluffy cotton candy on top of the ice. This cotton candy, made with a blend of Kyoto-grown roasted green tea and Hokkaido-grown peppermint, is delicious on its own. The fragrant, pleasant bitterness of the roasted green tea is followed by a refreshing peppermint flavor. Whether served with sauce or shaved ice, the flavors were developed through repeated trial and error to ensure a harmonious overall taste.

For the sauce, essential to shaved ice, we offer the classic strawberry and condensed milk. The strawberry sauce is made with 4-5 domestic summer strawberries, creating a luxuriously rich sauce. The distinctive tartness and sharp flavor of summer strawberries enhance the flavor of the cotton candy and pairs perfectly with the condensed milk sauce made from milk produced in Tokyo. The condensed milk ice cream served with the shaved ice is made with the same milk as the condensed milk sauce, so whether eaten alone or with shaved ice, the rich, milky flavor fills your mouth. This year, we're using natural ice from Karuizawa. Fluffy, pure white ice is served in a double-walled, vacuum-sealed titanium container.

The strawberries and condensed milk sauce in a beaker, and the condensed milk ice cream served in a scoop-shaped container, are reminiscent of the classic summer vacation project, independent research. This is a playful dish that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways, depending on how you enjoy it.

We want you to enjoy summer to the fullest this year. With this desire as its starting point, "Cotton Ice" shaved ice was born from Lexus' manufacturing philosophy of meticulously selecting each ingredient and never compromising on even the smallest details. Come to INTERSECT to experience a new and moving experience unique to this summer.
