Kakigori or shaved ice is very delicious especially at summer season. I introduce you a very popular shaved ice shop at Kagoshima City. The shop Yanagawa Himuro is located near Yamakataya Department Store at Tenmonkan. The shop specializes in making ice and its shaved ice are really nice!

Let’s Go to Eat Shaved Ice
It is very hot and humid on that day. Shaved ice is the best thing to eat in such weather. When it comes to shaved ice, “MUJAKI” is famous, but many local people also love Yanagawa Himuro.
During the summer season, many people make a long line to get taste of the shaved ice. We avoided the busy afternoon time and came here in the morning.
Which shaved ice should I take?
Menu
There are so many kinds of shaved ice of different taste. It is very hard to choose because all of them look delicious. You can order most of shaved ice only for 250 yen. I think that the price is very resonable.

Soft Shaved Ice
Mango
I ordered Mango shaved ice with condensced milk.
The size of the shaved ice is very big but I could eat it all very quickly because ice was soft and taste was light.
Strawberry
My wife ordered the strawberry taste with condensced milk. Sweet scent of milk and sour strawberry syrup creates good harmony.
We could not stop eating it!
Berry Shirokuma
On another day I ordered the most expensive Berry Shirokuma (500 yen). Shirokuma is the representative sweets of Kagoshima.
Three berries on the top of shaved ice create the face of Shirokuma or white bear. 🙂
The shaved ice milk taste was very soft. Many kinds of berries fills the bottom of the cup.
