okay so here's what you need to know
about Fukuoka Fukuoka has more young
adult residents than anywhere else in
Japan and women outnumber men
considering this it makes sense that
Fukuoka also seems to have an
uncountable number of dessert cafes here
are three of my favorite Fukuoka City
based cafes whose popularity extends to
other parts of Japan and even other
parts of the world located on a quiet
side road in the busy shopping district
of Tenjin is Irish you can always count
on a bit of a lineup outside this place
but it isn't your average french toast
and it's definitely worth the wait
[Music]
Irish is french-toast menu is seasonal
and changes quite often so the
occasional visit is also a chance to try
something new
and although Irish was first established
in Fukuoka recently they have opened one
store in Tokyo as well now here's
something you might only see in Japan
french toast topped with Japanese
chestnuts and french toast topped with
Japanese pumpkin
[Music]
the thinly sliced Japanese pumpkin is
sweet and tastes like candy and despite
its vegetable appearance it blends
pleasantly with pear and almond slices
the French toast itself is filled with
cream cheese
you can choose to eat it as it is or mix
it with whipped cream or ice cream
served on the side the pumpkin body
daikon
and pumpkin sauce sugar good ending of
the day knockoff creamy cheese cream to
the hype demos
the chestnut french-toast offers a
similar experience with cream cheese and
chestnut puree sandwich between two
slices of bread with both Italian and
Japanese chestnuts served on top another
place that almost always has a lineup is
Campbell early Campbell early is run by
the Tokyo group which despite its name
is a brand born and raised here in
Fukuoka normally known for their popular
juice bars Campbell early draws long
line ups for its delicious and decadent
parfaits and pancakes because it's
located on the ninth floor of Huk at the
station it's very easy to access oh and
don't be intimidated by the line it
moves pretty quickly
[Music]
if you're visiting with friends grab a
picture of their fruit tea and enjoy the
natural taste of fruit this tea will
compliment anything you order here
[Music]
from winter to spring Fukuoka's famous
emmaus strawberries are in season and
you'll find them in abundance here at
Camp bowler Li these beautiful large
strawberries are sweet and full of
vitamin C they can help prevent colds
and help those recovering from fatigue
and if that doesn't convince you well
the presentation at Campbell early is
always very visually pleasing if you
have a chance to try the ML parfait
princess I promise you won't be
disappointed I could eat a hundred of
these but I probably shouldn't finish it
off with a cup of the fruit tea and feel
good knowing you've taken enough
vitamins for the day and sugar pen
calories and last but not least there's
Vito gelato which also in spite of its
name has its roots here in Fukuoka but
it's starting to expand across Japan
Vito gelato not only tastes great but
features many gelato flavors using
kyushu's unique ingredients green tea
from llame in Fukuoka Prefecture allow
strawberries also from Fukuoka sweet
potatoes from Kagoshima Prefecture and
so on
[Music]
this store location is right in the
center of tensions busy shopping
district and even the January weather
doesn't seem to stop customers from
dropping in so these are just three
places in Fukuoka that I'd like you to
try but as a season visitor or resident
of the group um I know there are plenty
more places out there do you have any
recommendations for places in Fukuoka to
eat leave a comment let everybody know
[Music]
