Shirokuma is shaved ice under condensed milk with fruit and beans on top, and it is Kagoshima's, invented at this shop in 1947 by a man named Kubo Takeshi. The name means polar bear, from the way the fruit was arranged on the original — seen from above it looked like an animal's face. It is now sold in convenience stores across Japan in cup form, which is to the original roughly what instant coffee is to coffee.

The shop is in the Tenmonkan arcade and the full-size version arrives as a dome considerably larger than a person's head, for two people or one determined one. There are more than a dozen variations from around ¥600, and a handheld bar version for eating while walking. Kagoshima is hot and humid for a long stretch of the year and this is what the city does about it.

独家私藏情报

**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.
