Honestly, one of the best sushi places I've been to lately in terms of both taste and quality! Since they have a separate kids' menu on top of the sushi, it was such a satisfying spot to visit with the kids too. Review go~*^^* - Hours: 11:30–21:00 (break time 14:30–17:30) - Closed every Sunday - Parking: 2 spots beside the shop, 2 in front ## Shirokuma's location, parking, and waiting ![Shirokuma's storefront and parking spaces in the Beomeo residential area](https://img.superchart.com/images/shirokuma-yangsan-mulgeum-sushi-kids-set/shirokuma-yangsan-mulgeum-sushi-kids-set-02-1gp4w-900.webp) Shirokuma, a Mulgeum sushi restaurant in the Beomeo residential area near Busan National University Hospital in Yangsan. There are 2 parking spots right beside the shop and 2 right in front, and apparently the Hwangsan Village public lot offers free parking from 6pm to 9am. We arrived around 12:30pm on a Saturday and luckily one spot was free, so parking was a success right away.^^ ![Shirokuma's entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/shirokuma-yangsan-mulgeum-sushi-kids-set/shirokuma-yangsan-mulgeum-sushi-kids-set-03-46og1-900.webp) ![CatchTable reservation kiosk and waiting seats inside Shirokuma's entrance](https://img.superchart.com/images/shirokuma-yangsan-mulgeum-sushi-kids-set/shirokuma-yangsan-mulgeum-sushi-kids-set-04-120cy-879.webp) Shirokuma, this Mulgeum, Yangsan sushi restaurant, is also known for its waitlist — but there's a CatchTable at the entrance where you can reserve, and then wait comfortably inside in the cool air conditioning. ## A modern, clean interior with booth seating ![Shirokuma's black and wood-toned interior](https://img.superchart.com/images/shirokuma-yangsan-mulgeum-sushi-kids-set/shirokuma-yangsan-mulgeum-sushi-kids-set-05-1did1-868.webp) ![Modern dining hall seating at Shirokuma](https://img.superchart.com/images/shirokuma-yangsan-mulgeum-sushi-kids-set/shirokuma-yangsan-mulgeum-sushi-kids-set-06-bqzyh-900.webp) The interior blends black and wood tones for a clean, modern feel. The staff greeted us so brightly that I felt good the moment I walked in.^^ I think this kind of lively, bright atmosphere feels more comfortable for ramen or sushi places somehow.ㅎ_ㅎ ![Private booth seating with partitions at Shirokuma](https://img.superchart.com/images/shirokuma-yangsan-mulgeum-sushi-kids-set/shirokuma-yangsan-mulgeum-sushi-kids-set-07-prjlv-834.webp) Since I'd called ahead to reserve, we were shown to a booth-partitioned seat where we could eat privately, which made for a much more relaxed meal with the kids. ## Shirokuma Special Sushi 10p and Premium Sushi 12p ![Cabbage salad and miso soup at Shirokuma](https://img.superchart.com/images/shirokuma-yangsan-mulgeum-sushi-kids-set/shirokuma-yangsan-mulgeum-sushi-kids-set-08-11pzf-900.webp) Cabbage salad and miso soup first. The soup is on the milder side, which goes great with sushi~ Our sushi order: Shirokuma Special Sushi 10p (₩17,000) and Shirokuma Premium Sushi 12p (₩22,000). My husband and I both gasped at how good it looked, way beyond expectations,,,,haha. I've eaten sushi at this price range many times, but this genuinely rivaled truly high-end sushi restaurants in both taste and presentation — Shirokuma, this Mulgeum, Yangsan sushi spot, was seriously satisfying. ![A full serving of Shirokuma's Special Sushi 10p](https://img.superchart.com/images/shirokuma-yangsan-mulgeum-sushi-kids-set/shirokuma-yangsan-mulgeum-sushi-kids-set-09-oeckt-900.webp) My order, the Shirokuma Special Sushi 10p, includes 3 kinds of aged sashimi, salmon, tuna belly, egg, beef, squid, eggplant, and soy sauce shrimp. Light eaters would probably be fine with the standard 8p, but for people with a normal appetite like me, this Special set is plenty filling. ![Thick-cut salmon sushi at Shirokuma](https://img.superchart.com/images/shirokuma-yangsan-mulgeum-sushi-kids-set/shirokuma-yangsan-mulgeum-sushi-kids-set-10-ng0wb-900.webp) ### Thick-cut salmon sushi Being a huge salmon lover, salmon sushi is always the first thing I reach for. Apparently Shirokuma's salmon sushi uses only fresh Norwegian Superior grade salmon! It was the thickest cut I've had in a long time. No fishy smell, just a subtle richness that spreads gently on the tongue, and a texture so soft it practically melts without chewing — genuinely a work of art. ![Shirokuma's Premium Sushi 12p spread](https://img.superchart.com/images/shirokuma-yangsan-mulgeum-sushi-kids-set/shirokuma-yangsan-mulgeum-sushi-kids-set-11-jpc8f-900.webp) My husband's order, the Shirokuma Premium Sushi 12p, includes 4 kinds of aged sashimi, salmon, tuna belly, beef, garlic shrimp, eggplant, squid, grilled salmon, and futomaki (thick sushi roll). ![The large futomaki roll included in the Premium Sushi set](https://img.superchart.com/images/shirokuma-yangsan-mulgeum-sushi-kids-set/shirokuma-yangsan-mulgeum-sushi-kids-set-12-it3d3-900.webp) Look at the size of that futomaki,,,hahaha. Not much of an exaggeration to say it's roughly the size of a newborn's face.^^ We figured if we touched it first we wouldn't be able to eat anything else, so we saved it for last and split it in half.ㅎ_ㅎ ![A piece of Shirokuma's beef sushi](https://img.superchart.com/images/shirokuma-yangsan-mulgeum-sushi-kids-set/shirokuma-yangsan-mulgeum-sushi-kids-set-13-i96c4-900.webp) Beef sushi at a sushi restaurant is usually one of those things I don't expect much from, but wow — even the beef sushi here has an amazing texture.haha Fair warning: it's better than a lot of well-known beef restaurants. ![Shirokuma's eggplant sushi topped with a lemon-colored sauce](https://img.superchart.com/images/shirokuma-yangsan-mulgeum-sushi-kids-set/shirokuma-yangsan-mulgeum-sushi-kids-set-14-1hwsx-900.webp) ### An unexpected favorite: eggplant sushi Along with the salmon, the eggplant sushi turned out to be an unexpected favorite. At first glance I thought, is this grilled hairtail?ㅋㅋㅋ I found it curious that they had a separate eggplant sushi menu item, but one bite and I got it immediately. It was so satisfying that next time I want to order it as 5 salmon + 5 eggplant. Honestly, not many people — kids or adults — actually like eggplant, but once you try this eggplant sushi, you'll definitely discover a whole new side to eggplant....!ㅎ_ㅎ The eggplant's clean flavor combines with just the right amount of richness for a nutty taste, the texture is great, and that lemon-colored sweet sauce on top pairs perfectly with the eggplant! ![The udon chosen as the lunch special](https://img.superchart.com/images/shirokuma-yangsan-mulgeum-sushi-kids-set/shirokuma-yangsan-mulgeum-sushi-kids-set-15-jrvtx-m-900.webp) ## Lunch special udon/soba and the kids' menu Visit between 11:30–14:30 and you can choose either udon or soba as a lunch special — such great value~! ![Shirokuma's Kids' Pork Cutlet Set](https://img.superchart.com/images/shirokuma-yangsan-mulgeum-sushi-kids-set/shirokuma-yangsan-mulgeum-sushi-kids-set-16-1ea3a-900.webp) Kids' Pork Cutlet Set, ₩10,000. A truly generous set with crispy fried pork cutlet plus shrimp, fried tofu, and egg sushi, along with 2 potato croquettes! My kids can't really eat sushi except for shrimp sushi, so I always check whether there's something for them whenever we go to a sushi place, and this lineup was really satisfying.^^ ![Shrimp tempura udon ordered from the kids' menu](https://img.superchart.com/images/shirokuma-yangsan-mulgeum-sushi-kids-set/shirokuma-yangsan-mulgeum-sushi-kids-set-17-awvyu-900.webp) Shrimp Tempura Udon, ₩9,000, with chewy noodles and a cool broth that's really appealing. If pork cutlet isn't tempting, I'd recommend this udon as a solid choice for the kids' menu!^^ ![A table spread of sushi and udon together at Shirokuma](https://img.superchart.com/images/shirokuma-yangsan-mulgeum-sushi-kids-set/shirokuma-yangsan-mulgeum-sushi-kids-set-18-arbbw-900.webp) ## Would I recommend it as a top Yangsan sushi spot? It's been a while since I left a sushi place this full.ㅎ_ㅎ Freshness of the ingredients, no need to even say — the thickness of the fish cuts was just on a different level. This kind of high quality sushi at such reasonable prices — if someone asked me to recommend a Yangsan sushi restaurant, this would be my number one pick without a doubt: Shirokuma, this Mulgeum, Yangsan sushi restaurant! Such a delicious meal.^^ ## Where it is - Shirokuma (시로쿠마) - 11-5 Hwahap 4-gil, Mulgeum-eup, Yangsan-si, Gyeongsangnam-do, South Korea - 경상남도 양산시 물금읍 화합4길 11-5 1층 - 35.3287934, 129.0099705 - Google Maps: https://www.google.com/maps/search/%EC%8B%9C%EB%A1%9C%EC%BF%A0%EB%A7%88/@35.3287934,129.0099705,17z --- Superchart · https://superchart.com/en/@sip-side-trips/shirokuma-yangsan-mulgeum-sushi-kids-set/ · https://superchart.com/llms.txt
