Cafe SHIRAHAMA — Restaurant in Kagoshima

Very friendly staff and excellent food.

Lunch will be served from 11:30 onwards.

We got a plate full of local, seasonal (!) vegetables, arranged and prepared in a unique style. (Vegetarian friendly, with rice etc.)

For example: they served the Sakurajima raddish as „spaghetti“ with tomato sauce.

Note for international visitors: the staff doesn‘t speak a word of English. It will be hard to communicate if your Japanese skills are zero. They don‘t have an English menu. And: you can‘t choose the lunch menu. It‘s one set dish, depending on the locally grown food. If you only come for coffee or some cake/snacks, you‘ll have some choice. If you want to have lunch, say so, and then get surprized by the meal you get :)

Perfectly cosy cafe with a friendly lady owner. The cafe is large and homely.

We relaxed here on a sunny day with two iced coffees (black, but you can add your own milk, syrup and it comes with a brown sugar candy), and the kind lady served us chocolate cake.

Although we had a language barrier, she was really friendly and asked where we came from and said our teddy bear was kawaii!!! That totally made my day 😍😍

I saw on the menu that they also serve lunch, would recommend a try (we already had lunch) as it seems like the produce is grown by the owner himself.

Highly...

I stumbled upon this lovely place while cycling around Sakurajima. Here, everything is about radish and not any radish: Sakurajima Radish, the biggest you'll ever see. This family grows organic Sakurajima radish and in this homely restaurant they team up to offer a great lunch around their radish. You wouldn't believe how creative and tasty it can be! I am really happy I went there, and definitely recommend. The food was simply amazing, subtle and full of flavour. After the meal, I was smiling on my bicycle !...
