A sweetness that melts into the night. Enjoy a sophisticated Valentine’s Day at Bar Ignis Otaru.
Valentine’s Day has long been celebrated worldwide as a day for lovers. In Japan, it evolved into a unique tradition where women give chocolates to men, but in recent years, people have started celebrating it in many different ways that break away from tradition. Whether with a partner, friends, or family, Valentine’s Day has become a day to share your appreciation with those who matter most.
This year, why not elevate the occasion with an elegant evening of cocktails and parfaits in a truly special setting? At Bar Ignis Otaru, our lobby bar, we invite you to enjoy a seasonal menu designed for the Valentine’s season within the sophisticated, calm atmosphere that only a hotel bar can provide.
■ Limited-Time Valentine’s “Shime Parfait”
Strawberry and Nut Chocolate Parfait
This exquisite dish features layers of rich chocolate cream topped with deep, flavorful pistachio ice cream. Topped with fresh strawberries, orangettes, and house-made caramelized nuts, the variety of textures and aromas perfectly balances and enhances the richness of the chocolate. It is the perfect “Shime Parfait”—a late-night dessert to elegantly wrap up a winter’s day during the Valentine’s season.

■ Limited-Time Valentine’s Cocktails
UNWIND Chocolat Chaud
A signature UNWIND hot chocolate designed to keep you company on a cold winter night. Black tea and hazelnut liqueurs add layers of fragrance and depth to the sweetness. This sophisticated hot chocolate warms you from the inside out. We recommend sipping it slowly at the end of the day or as a cozy nightcap before bed.
Antique Ruby
Winter strawberries, grown slowly in the cold, are known for their concentrated sweetness. This cocktail layers the elegant scent of dried roses with a subtle hint of bitter herbs. Using a vodka base adds a clean, sharp finish behind the strawberry’s sweetness, resulting in a fresh fruit cocktail crafted specifically for an adult palate.
White Gift
Cacao pulp is the white, sweet-and-sour fruit that surrounds the cacao bean. Contrary to the typical image of chocolate, its flavor is remarkably juicy and fresh, reminiscent of lychee or pineapple. The gentle scents of Hokkaido craft gin and bergamot highlight the natural “refreshing” quality of the cacao pulp. With the subtle bitterness of cacao nibs and the mild sweetness of agave syrup, this drink allows you to experience the cacao fruit in its entirety.
