A Hideaway Dessert Café in Kamakura
Sabo Kirara is a kanmi-dokoro (a traditional Japanese dessert café ) that specializes in shiratama. The shop is located in a quiet residential neighborhood in Kamakura. It is within a 10-minute walk from the west exit of Kamakura Station. Queues will be inevitable; expect to wait two hours on weekends and one hour during weekdays.
The most-ordered menu item at Sabo Kirara is the Uji Shiratama Cream Anmitsu, which consists of four matcha-flavored shiratama, one white-colored shiratama, anko (red bean paste), matcha ice cream, apricot, agar jelly, and a cherry. The combination of the sweet anmitsu and bitter matcha syrup creates a harmonious flavor experience. Golf ball-sized shiratama is slightly warm and chewy.
