Kagoshima is at the southern tip of Kyushu, Japan. Kagoshima is filled with charismatic and lovely people, so it only makes sense that their food would be just as great.
🍧The Birth of the Polar Bear🍧
MUJYAKI, a 4-story restaurant, cafe, and dessert shop, has a bit of everything for all tastes! The part we want to pay particular focus on is its Shirokuma shaved ice cafe!!! Shirokuma (白くま), means 'polar bear' (or literally white pear) in Japanese. Not to worry though, Shirokuma shaved ice doesn't actually contain polar bear. Shirokuma, the creation of Kagoshima, MUJYAKI to be exact, says they gave it this name due to its all white characteristic like a polar bear.
Our Recommendation ‘Polar Bear’ Food
There are plenty of souvenir available as well at MUJYAKI! Take these cute and incredibly life like bubble gum that's made to look like Shirokuma shaved ice!!🍧🍨
Although you can get the yummy Shirokuma shaved ice anywhere in Japan, JAPANKURU recommends its flagship store MUJYAKI. Locals say the best place to try one is MUJYAKI, which claims to have created the famous dish and is located in the popular Tenmonkan shopping arcade. It's always a better experience when you experience something at its 'birthplace' if you will. PLUS, we're pretty sure you can't eat a massive bowl of shaved ice anywhere else BUT MUJIYAKA! How much more convincing do you need? It's really a great and unique tourist experience. You also could make jokes to your friends saying you ate a polar bear….but we wouldn't recommend that because eating endangered animals isn't funnyⓧ
