For one month only, from July 1st to 31st, 2023, The Ritz-Carlton Okinawa (Address: 1343-1 Kise, Nago City, Okinawa Prefecture) will be serving a Pineapple Parfait in the Lobby Lounge & Bar on the third floor of the hotel building, made with Gold Barrel, the highest quality pineapple, registered as a recommended variety by Okinawa Prefecture.
Even though Okinawa is known for its pineapples, Gold Barrel is a rare variety grown only in a few areas of the northern part of the prefecture and the Yaeyama region. It is known for its high sugar content of 17-18% and its juicy texture. The Ritz-Carlton, Okinawa offers a limited-time "Pineapple Parfait" every summer, using generous amounts of Gold Barrel. It's a summer tradition at the hotel, and a refreshing treat essential for Okinawa's hot summers.
This year, we've further evolved last year's "Pineapple Parfait." It features a sorbet made with light and rich Greek yogurt (made with pure Okinawan milk and no additives or preservatives) from Cheesanista, a Greek cheese and yogurt shop in Okinawa City, coconut panna cotta, and lemon jelly, further enhancing the rich flavor of the fresh and juicy Gold Barrel itself.
The sweetness of the fruit and refreshing acidity create an exquisite harmony in the mouth, allowing you to enjoy different tastes, textures, and aromas with each bite. Details of the "Pineapple Parfait" are as follows.

●About The Ritz-Carlton Okinawa
Located on a hilltop rich in nature in Kise, Nago City, almost in the center of Okinawa's main island, The Ritz-Carlton Okinawa is based on the red tiles and white walls of Shuri Castle, a symbol of the Ryukyus, as well as the spring water that has been revered as a sacred place since ancient times. In Ryukyu, castles are also called "gusuku" (castles), which also mean places that warmly welcome visitors. We welcome our guests with "Keion," the spirit of hospitality cherished by the Ryukyu people, who have valued and observed courtesy since ancient times, and "Gusuku," the castle that embodies The Ritz-Carlton's traditional spirit of service.
