Tenmonkan Mujaki

**The regular size is enormous.** It is built for sharing. Order one between two unless you have skipped a meal, or take the handheld bar version instead. **Rest days are irregular.** The shop does not keep a fixed weekly closing day and the schedule shifts by season. Check before making a special trip. **It is not the convenience store version.** The cup shirokuma sold nationally is a licensed descendant. The original has fresh fruit and shaved rather than crushed ice, and the difference is substantial. **Summer queues.** July and August in Kagoshima are hot enough that this is a genuine destination for local people, and the queue reflects it. Weekday afternoons are easier. **Upstairs is a restaurant.** The building has floors doing okonomiyaki and other food if you want a meal around the ice.
