Nestled in the Tenmonkan shopping arcade, Shirokuma Kafe is renowned as the originator of Kagoshima's specialty shaved ice, Shirokuma. Soft, fluffy shaved ice is coated with house-made milk syrup, offering a gentle sweetness lighter than condensed milk that keeps you refreshed until the very last bite. Looking from above, the arrangement of raisins and cherries forms a charming polar bear face, and since the seasonal fruits change throughout the year, visitors can enjoy a different look each time. The menu offers a wide range of sizes, from baby and regular to the special size often likened to a washbasin; sharing a regular size between two people is a classic choice. Green tea and mochi White Mochi Uji Kintoki, pleasantly bitter Coffee Shirokuma, and cappuccinos decorated with a bear face are also popular, sometimes drawing lines outside. With 61 fully non-smoking seats and handy Shirokuma available for takeout, it is an easy stop for everyone from families to solo travelers.
