SCAPES THE SUITE (スケープス ザ スィート), a resort hotel in Hayama, Kanagawa, has opened reservations for its 2026 summer shaved ice lineup. Three new flavors have been added, including a special creation produced by renowned shaved ice expert Harada Asako.
Shonan Gold & Watermelon Kakigori — Produced by "Kakigori Queen" Harada Asako
The centerpiece of the new lineup is a shaved ice creation built around "Shonan Gold" citrus, a variety known for its well-balanced sweetness and acidity. The sauce made from Shonan Gold is paired with watermelon — a fruit widely grown on the Miura Peninsula — for a refreshing combination. Almond cream adds a creamy accent to round out the experience. During July, the recipe features "Miura Suika," a locally grown watermelon variety at its seasonal peak; other periods use a different variety.
An optional add-on is also available: a cocktail syrup made with Kamakura craft gin "Tsuyu" and watermelon (+¥500, contains alcohol).
Price: ¥1,800 (tax included)
Option: Kamakura craft gin "Tsuyu" and watermelon cocktail syrup +¥500 (contains alcohol)
Period: June 1, 2026 (Monday) to September 30, 2026 (Wednesday)
About Harada Asako
Born in Kanagawa in 1983, Harada Asako is known as the "Kakigori Queen" — a self-proclaimed shaved ice enthusiast who has appeared on the TBS program Matsuko's Unknown World. She has been devoted to shaved ice for around 20 years, ever since trying a premium matcha shaved ice in Kyoto. While working as a fashion magazine writer and in real estate development, she saved up to open her own shaved ice shop, Hyōsha mamatoko (氷舎 mamatoko), in 2016. She continues to research and enjoy shaved ice every day.
Coffee Tiramisu Kakigori — with Pairing Coffee from Hayama inuit coffee roaster
This creation features coffee from Hayama's "inuit coffee roaster," used generously throughout. The bitterness of the coffee pairs with the sweetness of mascarpone condensed milk for a distinctly grown-up flavor. Inside the shaved ice, coffee jelly and chocolate ice cream add further depth, keeping the taste evolving to the very end. The pairing coffee — an inuit coffee drip using Brazilian-origin beans — has been selected specifically to complement the dessert.
Price: ¥1,900 (tax included) with pairing coffee / ¥1,600 (tax included) shaved ice only
Period: June 1, 2026 (Monday) to July 31, 2026 (Friday)

Takanashi Tea Garden Yabukita Japanese Black Tea & Peach Kakigori — with Pairing Tea from Takanashi Tea Garden
This shaved ice makes full use of "Yabukita Japanese black tea" (やぶきた和紅茶) from Takanashi Tea Garden. Made from Japanese tea leaves, the tea carries a distinctive sweetness with low astringency and a clean, smooth finish. It is paired with a sauce made from fragrant red peach, topped with white peach and mint espuma. The experience is designed to engage through appearance, aroma, and texture alike. The pairing drink is also a Japanese black tea from Takanashi Tea Garden — a garden with over 70 years of history in Hadano City — allowing guests to enjoy the tea garden's rich flavor alongside the dessert.
Price: ¥1,900 (tax included) with pairing tea / ¥1,600 (tax included) shaved ice only
Period: August 1, 2026 (Saturday) to September 30, 2026 (Wednesday)
