Godiva Japan launches two premium shaved ice desserts this summer.

Godiva Japan introduces chocolate-infused shaved ice desserts for summer, blending traditional flavors with gourmet ingredients at select locations.

Godiva is shaking up the summer scene in Japan with its new take on a classic: shaved ice. Known for its premium chocolate, Godiva Japan is diving into the local dessert culture by transforming this beloved summer treat. Starting July 22, you can find their Shaved Ice Chocolat Elegance, which layers chocolate whipped cream, shaved chocolate, and rich chocolate syrup over fluffy ice shavings, topped off with a Godiva chocolate square—because why not go all in?

If you're feeling a bit fancy, there’s the Shaved Ice Tiramisu Chocolat featuring mascarpone cream and coffee gelatin. With ice shaved to a feather-light texture, each spoonful promises a delightful melt-in-your-mouth experience without the crunch. Priced at just 980 yen (about $6), this is a sweet way to cool off this summer at select Mitsui Outlet Park locations across Japan. Indulgence has never been so accessible!
