The 9th day of the 10-day Golden Week holiday. After enjoying a sushi lunch in Nishi Nakasu to put an end to the 3-day sushi binge from the previous day, I planned to eat red meat in the evening and return to Tokyo. After enjoying a sushi lunch at Sushi Sakai as planned, and having a snack of Sag Paneer at 106 South Indian, I had some time until the evening plans. After strolling around the city for a while, I moved to Pronto near the destination to adjust the time. It's convenient as it's close to the station. I bought a large Ice Masala Chai and sat at a four-seater table. About 20% of the seats were occupied, so I could relax comfortably. The restroom is a shared one in the building, and I got a little lost coming out from the back of Pronto. The Ice Masala Chai was easy to drink with little aftertaste. I spent a leisurely hour and then it was time to move on to the final destination of the Fukuoka gourmet trip...

A few years ago, I used this place for a wedding reception after-party and this is my first time using it since then. On this day, we had a social gathering of about 20 people after a meeting of a group company. The variety course was 2,400 yen with a drink all-you-can-drink option for 950 yen, which was reserved by the organizer. Pronto is a joint venture between Suntory and UCC, so they serve Premium Malt's beer, Jim Beam whiskey, Ballantine, and more. All this for just 950 yen for all-you-can-drink is quite a good deal! They serve the Premium Malt's beer in pitchers and bring a new one even if there's some left. The butter soy sauce flavored popcorn was all-you-can-eat and everyone seemed to enjoy it. I didn't have high expectations for the food, but the whey pork prosciutto and pancetta at the beginning were surprisingly delicious. They offer Mild D Kaku Highball and Kaku Soda Highball, and when I asked the staff about the difference, they explained that the D in Mild D stands for a large D, which means it's more diluted. The Kaku Soda Highball is stronger than the Kaku Highball. I had a few of those and then finished with a Ballantine Finest Highball. The dishes like roast beef, Margherita pizza, and grilled carbonara were all flavorful and more than enough to accompany the drinks. I don't often go out at night, but considering the cost performance, it might be worth using this place again.

This time, I went to Pronto Fukuoka Denki Building Kitakan store located at 2-1-82 Watanabe-dori, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City. I decided to have a coffee as a finishing touch. I usually go for ramen, but with all the recent drinking parties, I need to cut back... I like hand drip coffee, but I also like the crema here. Thank you for the meal.

I found this place while passing by and decided to stop in because I was thirsty. It is located on the 1st floor of the Electric Building North Building, directly connected to the Subway Nanakuma Line "Watanabe-dori Station". The interior is spacious with a stylish atmosphere and a bar counter. I ordered an iced coffee (S: 250 yen) and an orange juice (S: 290 yen). The iced coffee had a light flavor. The orange juice was simply delicious. The seating is well spaced out, so you can relax comfortably. They also offer light meals such as pasta, and I would like to try their evening bar time as well.

This is Pronto, a company nearby cafe, which is also perfect for slacking off... I use it frequently for meetings and visits. The space is spacious and comfortable with air conditioning even in the summer, but be careful as some areas have time-limited smoking sections! Prices are reasonable with iced coffee (Regular) at 250 yen, hot coffee (Regular) at 240 yen. They also offer sizes (Medium) and (Large) with options like cafe latte and espresso. They serve alcohol at night and a few years ago, I even used it for a wedding after-party. Of course, they have pasta, bread, and offer takeout, making it a very convenient cafe to use.

It's been a while since I visited this cafe. It's spacious and you can relax while enjoying a cup of coffee ☕. I ordered a cake set!

The classic coffee after lunch.

I felt like eating pasta for lunch, so I went to a nearby Pronto. It was before noon, so there were only a few customers sitting around. I ordered a large serving of meat sauce pasta, and it was brought to my table after a short wait. The meat sauce had a taste similar to a ready-made one, but it was still quite delicious. This restaurant apparently has designated non-smoking times, and when I visited, it was during a non-smoking time, but there was still a faint smell of cigarettes in the air.

When I want to go to a cafe that is not too crowded, I go to Pronto here. It's a bit far from Tenjin, but it's less crowded on weekends. The menu is nothing special, but it's recommended for those who want to relax away from the busyness of Tenjin. They also have a smoking area, so smokers can feel at ease. I usually order pasta, coffee, and dessert. The staff is friendly, but I didn't like that the dirty dishes were left in plain sight on the floor for a long time.

There is a Pronto on the first floor of the Watanabe Street Electric Building. It is open from morning to night, serving meals and beverages from coffee to alcohol. It is smoke-free and accepts Edy payments. Although I couldn't confirm the availability of outlets, this is the only place that can cater to your needs all day long. It is a self-service chain store with a luxurious atmosphere. The iced coffee costs 220 yen and is a standard bitter taste. Personally, I like that they accept Edy payments as a standard feature. (Morning) Cost per person: 220 yen (Morning) Overall rating 2.5, Food 2.0, Service 2.5, Atmosphere 3.0.

There was a seminar in the basement of an office building, so my friend and I decided to check out this new place nearby. It turned out to be a great choice! The restaurant opened on July 28, 2008. Lunch for employees of Kyuden (Kyushu Electric Power Company) starts at 12:10 and lasts for 50 minutes, so it tends to get crowded during that time. It can be tough to find a seat because many people from companies nearby come here for lunch. My friend made a reservation just before we arrived (I didn't know you could reserve seats at this kind of place!). The lunch menu consists of pasta dishes, all of which looked so delicious that it was hard to choose. I ended up having the shrimp pasta, and it was really tasty. You can dine alone, use your laptop, smoke, relax, and feel comfortable here. It's affordable, and I left satisfied with my pasta lunch at Pronto. (Everyone, don't forget to bring your coupons!)

I had tea at PRONTO in the new Fukuoka Electric Building North Building. The interior space is spacious and relaxing, which is nice. The Pulp Pulp Ice Matcha Latte had blancmange (as the lady in the shop described) inside the matcha milk. It was like a soft milk jelly. I mistakenly thought there was ice cream in it when I ordered. The menu says it uses matcha from Nishio, but when I went to the Chubu region, I noticed the strong aroma of tea in the market, so it seems that Nishio matcha is famous in the Chubu region. I also had the cheesecake, which was simply delicious. The afternoon cafe time was very quiet. The interior has a chic and calming feel with a valuable dark brown color scheme. It's spacious and relaxing. I wonder if it gets crowded with office ladies during lunch on weekdays? <<Ordered Items>> Pulp Pulp Ice Matcha Latte: 380 yen New York Cheesecake: 350 yen Fukuoka Electric Building North Building Store.

Today, I had an iced coffee size M (300 yen). It's a great place where you can have a workspace for 1-2 hours. It's still non-smoking from 11:00 to 14:00, but there's a smoking area nearby so it's not too bothersome. Once again, I had some coffee while doing a little work. Thank you for the meal.

I did some nomadic work with a draft beer (590 yen) in hand. I have been using this place for a long time, but recently it seems that smoking is completely prohibited during lunchtime (11:00-14:00). However, they have a separate smoking area inside the store, so you can still smoke. There is only one power outlet in the smoking area, and someone always occupies it, so I have never been able to use it. haha. The distance from Tenjin and the atmosphere inside the store (the right distance between seats) make it a perfect space. Thank you for the meal. ---Other--- During the day, I didn't mind at all, but the service at night... It's not a hindrance to the purpose, but I felt a sense of incongruity.

When the Electric Building North Tower was renovated, Pronto opened. There are three Pronto locations in Fukuoka Tenjin area: Shintencho, Kimuraya Building, and here at Electric Building North Tower, which I think is the largest. It is clean and comfortable due to its newness and spaciousness, and the location is convenient for subway Nanakuma Line and bus users. The menu seemed to be more extensive than the Pronto I usually visit in Shintencho, but the restroom is shared with the building and a bit far.
