Shirokuma (White Bear)

A mountain of shaved ice is generously drizzled with smooth condensed milk, with colorful fruits sparkling on top. When you take a spoonful, the fluffy ice and the sweetness of the milk melt together and glide smoothly down your throat. Shirokuma is a type of shaved ice devised in 1947 at 'Mujaki' in Tenmonkan, Kagoshima. It is a summer tradition of Southern Kyushu, featuring freshly shaved ice topped with a uniquely refreshing milk sauce and diced fruits and beans. It earned this adorable name because the arrangement of toppings when viewed from above resembles the face of a white bear. When eaten on a hot day, it is a cold, sweet treat that you simply cannot stop eating. It is a magnificent serving that even adults might struggle to finish.
