Sat on the northern shore of Kyushu is Fukuoka Prefecture, a hot spot for tourists both Japanese and foreign, particularly those visiting from parts of Asia such as China, Taiwan and South Korea.
Fukuoka has its fair share of famous tourist destinations and a delicious collection of gourmet restaurants, but did you know it’s also home to lots of different cute and stylish cafes? Today, Instagrammer moe takes us on her trip around Fukuoka’s plethora of popular coffee shops and shows 5 must-visit locations.
10 Coffee Brewers
A popular coffee shop also based in in Ōita Prefecture, 10 Coffee Brewers has another branch in Fukuoka’s Daimyo district. The mouthwatering beverage you see in the photo above is a vanilla smoothie with tapioca pearls and a shot of espresso. Topped with Oreo cookies, marshmallows and cream, this crave-inducing coffee delight offers a mix of tasty treats and textures that are sure to fill you up after a cup♡
▼10 Coffee Brewers
Address: 1-10-18 Daimyo, Chuo Ward, Fukuoka
Opening Hours: 11:30-19:00
Closed: Mondays
Official Instagram Page: https://www.instagram.com/10coffee.fuk/
green bean to bar CHOCOLATE
I ordered two different mousses together with my coffee, both exclusive to this Fukuoka branch of the cafe chain. On the left is the Vietnam x Hojicha and on the right is the Tanzania With Crumble. The cacao beans in both are sourced in separate locations. You can order several different flavours to combine with your mousse. As well as hojicha there is sesame seed, mikan and more. The mousse is crafted with a beautiful spiral shape that screams Instagram-worthy at whatever angle you point your camera at. You can even order them for takeout♡

Address: Nishietsu Tenjin CLASS Floor 1F, 1-19-22 Imaizumi, Chuo Ward, Fukuoka
Opening Hours: 11:00-21:00
Closed: Wednesdays

COFFEE & CAKE STAND LULU
LULU’s beverages are served in simple and stylish cups. The drink on the left is the Houjicha Latte and the one on the right is a LULU Latte. Though the Houjicha Latte is a pure white colour it still has that proper houjicha taste to it. Their puddings are a must-try too and can be ordered for takeout but they were all sold out on this day. Their bouncy puddings are really popular, so if you see them on sale there you should definitely pick one up!
▼COFFEE & CAKE STAND LULU

Business Hours: Weekdays 9:00-18:00 / Weekends & Holidays 11:00-19:00

NO COFFEE
NO COFFEE promotes a coffee lifestyle with their contemporary decor and drinks. The drinks in the photos are the matcha latte with espresso and frozen banana mocha.
The matcha latte mixes sweet matcha latte with a shot of full-bodied espresso to create a refreshing combination. The frozen banana mocha is my personal favourite and a perfect choice for when the weather’s hot. The cafe is also a concept shop that sells a variety of miscellaneous items.
▼NO COFFEE
Address: 3-17-12 Hirao, Chuo Ward, Fukuoka
Business Hours: 10:00-19:00
Closed: Mondays (except on national holidays in which case the cafe will close on the following Tuesday)
Official Website: https://nocoffee.net/
W/O STAND
Last on the list is W/O STAND, a coffee chain that’s popular not only in Tokyo but in Fukuoka too. The hypnotic drink in the photo is a caramel macchiato. It’s common to see the illustration on the cup on Instagram in Japan. The picture is different depending on which branch you visit. Their menu is huge too so you’ll definitely want to go back more than once to get coffee.
▼W/O STAND
Address: ARKCUBE103, 1-3-5 Daimyo, Chuo Ward, Fukuoka, Fukuoka Prefecture
Business Hours: 11:00-19:00
No Fixed Holidays

COFFEE♥STORY is a video series by coffee company UCC Ueshima Coffee Co., Ltd. that shows the process by which coffee is made before it ends up in a cup between your palms.
The second video in the series was just released in YouTube and celebrates cold brew coffee, a big contender in Japan’s coffee culture. Check it out below.
The fire surrounding cold brew coffee was lit in New York and has become a popular way of drinking coffee in Japan.
Did you know that cold brew coffee was actually one of the elements that helped brew a coffee culture in Japan? After Japan’s first cafe arrived in Tokyo during the Meiji period (1868-1912), coffee spread up and down Japan in various forms. When the Showa period (1912-1926) rolled around, cafes introduced tools to make cold brew coffee served in tall glasses and it has been enjoyed ever since. American third wave coffee shop owners in Japan who knew of this method took these utensils back to their own country and reinvented what is now known as cold brew coffee.
Japan went on to establish its own cafe culture. It is said that Japanese people were not only the “world’s first” to create cold brew coffee, but instant coffee and canned coffee too.
COFFEE♥STORY#02 explores this story with footage of traditional and beautiful Japanese houses and gardens. Be sure to check it out.

As we approach summer, coffee shop Roasted COFFEE LABORATORY is releasing three new drinks on Tuesday May 28.
Tapioca Cherry Latte ¥600 + tax
As we’re approaching summer, the griotte cherry season is also upon us and the Tapioca Cherry Latte is making full use of this seasonal fruit! The cherry provides an element of sourness to contrast the homemade syrup, which is poured over the carefully balanced ice latte. With the first sip, you are immediately hit by the refreshing sourness of the cherry, which spreads all over your mouth. The slight bitterness of the iced latte accents the flavour. Your taste buds will be embraced by a gentle creaminess… and then surprised by the chewy tapioca pearls! It’s filling, delicious and fancy ー this is full satisfaction in a cup!
Left: Espresso Tonic (¥550) / Right: Espresso Lime Freezing (¥620)
The Espresso Tonic contains strong espresso coffee which is accented by the sharpness of the tonic water. The agave syrup creates an overall bittersweet flavour. The drink is topped with aromatic, fresh mint.
The Espresso Lime Freezing consists of ice and frozen lime which is topped with espresso for a fresh yet bittersweet flavour. This icy drink is the perfect way to combat the heat of the summer and get refreshed!
*This is not available at the Tokyu Department store (Toyoko) branch.
Roasted COFFEE LABORATORY was established in Jinnan, Shibuya in 2016 as a joint roastery and coffee shop. Holding the reputation of “MADE IN SHIBUYA” up high, Roasted COFFEE LABORATORY is a place where you can indulge in the high quality freshness of home-roasted coffee beans, homemade desserts and meals that are overflowing with originality, music, art, and events that are coloured with a mixed variety of culture. The roastery has established its roots firmly in Shibuya, the home of street culture, making it the perfect place for it to thrive. They define the culture of “today”and never fail to come up with something new daily to entice your curiosity.
This is your chance to get on top of the latest trends and enjoy a moment of supreme bliss to yourself!

alt.coffee roasters is a new coffee shop opening near Nijō Castle in Kyoto on March 16, 2019. They are set to serve hand drip coffee that bursts with the the original fruity flavour of the coffee beans and emits an unending and irresistible aroma along with a selection of vegan food made with ingredients sourced in Japan, and more.
The coffee served at alt.coffee roasters uses light roast beans which ooze a rich aroma and maintain tantalising flavours. Using the hand drip coffee method means that the great taste stays even when served cold.
The reason alt. is obsessed with light roasts is because they believe the closer the flavour is to the original bean the more delicious it is―and since the taste of every bean is completely different depending on where they are grown, they intend to bring out those flavours to the absolute max. Keeping closer to the original flavour also means the coffee can be enjoyed bitterless.
In Japan, dark roasts are the most popular. Coffee in Japan equals bitter, and so alt. wishes to provide a new way of enjoying coffee to people, hence why they also serve it in wine glasses. It is served black and has a sweet flavour even without sugar.
Pour Over Coffee: ¥500
Flat White: ¥450
The cafe is all about single origin coffee and uses fair-trade beans from Ethiopia which has a history with coffee spanning over 1,000 years. Only the best beans are selected by the farmers. A range of different coffees will be sold including flat whites.
Homemade Fruit Granola: ¥780
Homemade Open Bagel Sandwich With Domestic Vegetables: ¥780
The food menu includes a homemade and gluten-free bagel made using seasonal ingredients farmed in Japan, vegan desserts made with original recipes, and more.
Indulge in fantastic coffee and a great meal at alt.

Kobe is filled with famous sightseeing spots like the nostalgic Ijinkan neighborhood and port. The city is packed with fashionable shops and restaurants and is highly regarded for its selection of tasty sweets!
The port city, with over 150 years of history, has fostered a unique and diverse culinary culture.
Recently, Kyary Pamyu Pamyu began starring in a series of promotional videos for the Gastropolis Kobe project. The artist traveled to the city to partake in plenty of delicious treats, and MOSHI MOSHI NIPPON went along for the ride! Here are some of the singer’s favorite spots around town.
Kobe, known as a city where East meets West, is lined with sweets shops that are unique to the area.
The tea salon TOOTH TOOTH Dekoboko Sabo opened in 2019 in the Kobe City Museum and offers a menu that mixes Western food and sweets with tea and ingredients from traditional Japanese cuisine. Kyary ordered the Dekoboko Sabo Afternoon Tea Set, a collection of western sweets blended with the essence of traditional Japanese flavors. Guests are invited to enjoy their tea and sweets in a one-of-a-kind space filled with Meiji period flare and retro Western furniture. Those interested will need to make a reservation, so be sure to remember the next time you’re in Kobe.
TOOTH TOOTH Decoboco Sabo
Address: 24 Kyomachi, Chuo Ward, Kobe (Inside the Kobe City Museum)
Hours: 9:30-17:30 (Last Order at 16:30)
Closed Mondays
Official Site: https://toothtooth.com/restaurant/decoboco-sabo
The next stop was Kobe Nankin-machi, one of the three major Chinatowns in Japan. Kobe MILK is known nationwide for its Apricot Pudding, which is made with local ingredients. The raw apricot pudding is mixed with milk brought from the foot of Mt. Rokko and other ingredients from Hyogo Prefecture. Of course, Kyary ordered some, and was amazed by its fluffy texture. You can only enjoy it in Kobe–also, the shop sells other puddings mixed with seasonal fruits, so don’t miss those either!
Kobe MILK
Address: Shin-Motomachi Building 1F (1 Motomachi-dori, Chuo-ku, Kobe)
Hours: Weekdays 9:30-19:00 / Weekends 9:30-19:30
Official Site: https://kobe-milk.com
For Kyary’s final stop, the singer visited the Moore House, a cafe located in a building with over 100 years of history. Guests are surrounded by greenery, and the Western-style building is incredibly elegant. The Strawberry Mille-feuille Kyary ordered was created by an expert patissier and based on the strawberry mille-feuille recipe from the legendary French restaurant Maxim’s de Paris in Ginza. A generous amount of custard cream complements the crispy pie crust and enhances the sweetness of the fresh strawberries. We’d recommend it with a glass of champagne–if you’re of age.
Kitano Ijin-kan Moore House
Address: 2-9-3 Kitanocho, Chuo-ku, Kobe
Hours: 11:00-17:00
Closed Tuesdays
