2020.11.12

A Sarukuma writer visits “TENTE,” a beloved soft serve and fruit juice shop in Kumamoto City’s Chuo Ward. Prices start from 200 yen. We’ve also covered family-friendly tips, access information, and opening hours.
Hello there!
This is Asukarando, your Sarukuma writer.
Today, I’m excited to introduce a wonderful spot located in
Chuo Ward, Kumamoto City (inside Sakuranobaba Johsaien)โ
“TENTE”!
This soft serve and fresh fruit juice shop always has a line of eager customers!
The mouthwatering menu signs catch your eye the moment you walk up.
Located inside Sakuranobaba Johsaien!
This soft serve shop seems to have a queue every time I visit, but today I came determined to finally try it! (^-^)/
Kotsubu Mikan (Small Mandarin Oranges) – 200 yen
were also for sale! (^o^)
Here’s a peek inside the shop!
In the back, the staff were carefully peeling each kotsubu mikan (small mandarin oranges) by handโthe very ones used in their juices and soft serve.
Recommended Menu Items
This time, I tried the
Kumamoto-Grown Fruit Soft Serve – 500 yen!
You have to eat through this towering pile of fruit before you can even reach the soft serve underneath! That’s how generous the fruit portion is!
And the soft serve goes all the way down to the bottom of the cone (^o^)
A treat that satisfies both your heart and your stomach! (^-^)/
They also offer:
Whole Squeezed Kotsubu Mikan Juice – 500 yen
Guaranteed to be incredibly fresh!!!
Right now, melon seems to be their top recommendation!
Melon Festival!
It’s a celebration!
Time to dance for joy!
I wanted to try several flavors, but the soft serve portions are so massive that I had to hold back this time…
I’ll save the rest for my next visit! (^-^)/
