🍜 Crushed Ice Old Shop - Thousand Days千日

Located in the center of Kume Town, Okinawa, near the Naminoue Beach and Naminoue Shrine, this well-known dessert shop has a history of about 70 years since its establishment in 1952. The shop is filled with a nostalgic atmosphere and offers a variety of dishes such as shaved ice, Okinawa soba, and taiyaki, which are beloved by the local residents. The most famous item in the shop is the "Okinawa Red Bean Shaved Ice." When it comes to Okinawa's red bean shaved ice, it consists of shaved ice topped with red beans that have been simmered in sugar. Beneath the beautifully shaped triangular shaved ice lies the carefully cooked kintoki beans, which are plump, soft, and melt in your mouth. In addition to the classic "Red Bean Shaved Ice," there are also various flavor options such as "Strawberry Red Bean" and "Milk Red Bean." Faithfully adhering to the traditional methods of simmering red beans with the right proportions of sugar, the shop attracts many customers every day with its authentic taste. Among them are long-time customers who have continued the tradition through three generations of families.

Founded in 1952, this long-established dessert shop is famous for its signature "Red Bean Ice," which features shaved ice topped with red beans. Other popular items include Taiyaki, Red Bean Pancakes, and Okinawa Soba, all of which are well-loved by both locals and tourists.
