Seika Foods Kagoshima Nangoku Shirokuma Ice Cream

Shaved ice is a popular summertime dessert with many people making long trips to Kagoshima, a prefecture located in southern Japan, to eat the local specialty Shirokuma Ice. Very lovingly called “shirokuma”, this Kagoshima shaved ice is topped with condensed milk, mandarin orange, pineapple, and sweet azuki red bean to mimic the appearance of a polar bear.

Higashimaru Samurai Ramen Aka(Red)

Spicy vegan ramen can be extremely difficult to find. Luckily, Higashimaru Samurai Ramen comes in both original and spicy for ramen lovers and is made with no animal ingredients or chemical additives. If you are craving the taste of authentic ramen, your search is over! The soy miso soup base is flavorful, rich, and spicy.

Made with yuzu juice and honey from Soo City in Kagoshima Prefecture, this yuzu drink concentrate will enhance any drink or dish. The fragrant aroma and mildly tart flavor of yuzu adds a refreshing zesty kick to any cocktail, water, dessert, salad dressing, and whatever else you can think of! 

Kyowa Food Industry co.,LTD. Shake de ChaChaCha Rich Baked Tempura Snack
