I visited the bar during nighttime for coffee and parfait after having dinner and drinks. I was seated at the counter, where I enjoyed the aroma of coffee and ordered a variety of coffee. The parfait was artistically presented with various toppings and flavors to enjoy. The atmosphere was lively with many couples and groups of friends enjoying their desserts. The coffee was served in small cups with refills available, and you can watch the coffee being brewed at the counter. Unfortunately, they were running out of mini parfaits and baked goods for takeout. The bill was settled at the table. The Gelato Parfait Pesca was priced at 2,500 yen, and the Ethiopian Gersi Furi Washed was 850 yen. You can find more detailed information on their website.

ASAKO IWAYANAGI has stores in Tokyo (Todoroki) and Fukuoka (Akasaka). In Fukuoka, which just opened in June this year, I was able to enter without waiting in line. I ordered the Parfait En Porte (cup parfait) @1,800 yen and Gelato 3 scoops (hojicha caramel, watermelon fruit tomato, coconut hazelnut) @900 yen. The parfait was indeed like a shortcake. It was a delightful and elegant combination of various flavors and textures. Since it comes in a cup with a lid, it seems perfect for souvenirs. The gelato was quite large for one scoop, with a smooth texture. The flavors were stylish and unique, and I especially liked the watermelon fruit tomato, which was light and rich.

I visited ASAKOIWAYANAGI as they expanded to Fukuoka! The interior was quite stylish, but I could only use the spacious seating in the back with a reservation. I couldn't help but feel like I was witnessing a class divide as those without reservations were crowded in tight seats upfront (lol). The Fukuoka-exclusive financier was moist and I thought it would make a great souvenir!

Located in the commercial area of Bios Square in Fukuoka Daimyo Garden City, Asa Koiwayanagi has expanded to its fourth store in Fukuoka, skipping cities like Nagoya, Kyoto, and Osaka. The reviewer, who had already visited all three existing stores in Todoroki, felt a mysterious sense of duty to visit the Fukuoka store to complete the conquest of all locations. The Fukuoka store stood out for its spaciousness and open atmosphere, with a color scheme of gray, the signature color of the brand. The reviewer was impressed by the showcase upon entering the store, reminiscent of the main store in Todoroki. The eat-in space included a Salon de The (reservation required) and bench seating (no reservation required). The reviewer tried the specialty dessert, Parfait Bijou Fruirouge (¥5,280), which featured a refreshing and summery composition with a surprising twist at the end. The reviewer also enjoyed the tea pairing with the dessert, particularly the original Earl Grey with a well-balanced bergamot flavor. Finally, the reviewer tried the Fukuoka store exclusive sweet, Cake Daimyo, and was pleasantly surprised to meet Mr. Iwayanagi himself during the visit, making it a rare and memorable experience.

Some people may think it's a bit much to pay 6,160 yen for a parfait, but once you taste it, you'll understand. This parfait made with peaches includes ingredients like fresh wheat gluten, uguisu beans, and rose hip agar. You can't help but wonder how much time and effort went into making it. You probably have to make a reservation to try it, as it's impossible to make on the spot. I have no regrets at all (⁠≧⁠▽⁠≦⁠) I heard the contents change every three weeks, so I definitely want to try it again. It's hard to find someone to go with, but I might just go alone at the counter.

The staff guiding customers was not very good, and I was told the seating inside the store was not available. I decided to do takeout instead, but I was able to sit on a chair inside the store and eat normally. It seems that many people misunderstand and give up, so I think improvement is needed in guiding customers. The ice cream tasted delicious, but the customer service was lacking. It was disappointing.

I visited ASAKO IWAYANAGI in Fukuoka around 10 pm without knowing they had opened a branch there. The parfait was smaller than the main store's, but it was really delicious with various flavors and textures. The wine pairing was also very tasty, making it a luxurious experience.

ASAKO IWAYANAGI FUKUOKA is a popular patisserie that has three locations in Setagaya, Tokyo, and is opening its first store outside of Tokyo in Fukuoka. The new store will be located at Fukuoka Daimei Garden City Biosquare 2B and is set to open on June 8, 2023. They will be offering a variety of baked goods, chocolates, gift items, bread, gelato, crepes, and more. The store will have a bench space for around 18 people for dine-in customers. Additionally, they will have a Salon de The at the back of the store with seating for 20 at tables and 6 at the counter, where they will serve lunch, parfaits, afternoon tea, and offer pairings with sake, coffee, and alcohol. Reservations are recommended for the Salon de The. The store will be open from 11:00 to 23:00, with varying hours for the Daytime and Bar time sections. The store has a website and Instagram for reservations through the Table Check reservation site. The reviewer visited the store and found the interior to be tastefully decorated in grey tones, with a selection of beautifully packaged sweets and pastries. They also tried the Parfait Bambi Claire and Parfait Bambi Vel Pistache, each paired with a recommended drink. The reviewer enjoyed the unique flavors and presentation of the parfaits, as well as the thoughtful service provided by the staff.

Why did I choose this title? There are several reasons, but let's go in order. First, the eat-in space. The stylish counter and table seats are all reserved for those who have pre-booked the Parfait Bijou. Those who haven't made a reservation are all relegated to the bench space near the entrance. It's a cramped and tacky space where everyone is vying for a seat, reminiscent of a game of musical chairs. Some people were even losing their minds, exclaiming that there were empty seats in the back! But this is the reality of a class-based society. However, given the high prices, especially on weekdays, the foot traffic is likely to calm down. Frankly speaking, even if you don't usually go out to eat sweets, if you hear that a trendy Tokyo shop has opened, and you invite someone on a date without doing proper research, you might end up standing for minutes and feeling cramped shoulder-to-shoulder with other couples (although some seemed more like they were attending a not-so-joyful event). Therefore, if you do go, I recommend making a proper reservation for the Parfait Bijou. However, if you end up paying for two Parfait Bijous, you will easily exceed 10,000 yen, and you might wonder if it's really worth it. Is it only self-proclaimed "food connoisseurs" or "tongue nekama" who would happily eat this? Honestly, some of you readers might be thinking the same. Honestly. Next, let's talk about the genius sweets reviewer's true prowess, which can be seen in the discussion of parfaits. Honestly, the choice between the two parfaits can significantly affect satisfaction. Honestly. In conclusion, the Pesche is recommended. It had a higher level of assembly and reproduction than expected, even after consulting a reliable acquaintance. The fact that it includes a gin for flavor variation that goes well with peaches and Japanese ingredients also contributes to its overall high quality as a parfait. Furthermore, the switch from Tropical to Fruity at this point shows that the Pesche is more refined. However, since the Pesche is 1,000 yen more expensive per piece, some may consider this in their decision-making process. Throughout the year, the Pesche is a highly satisfying parfait, so it's definitely worth booking now while it's a hot topic. Honestly.

Located on the 2nd floor of Daimyo Garden City, this patisserie opened in June and is very popular in Tokyo. It has three stores in Setagaya-ku, Tokyo, and its first store outside Tokyo is in Fukuoka. I had been curious about it for a while, and F kindly accompanied me after a yakitori lunch. The interior is stylish. Delicious pastries and mini parfaits are displayed. The open space facing a large window is reserved for those who pre-order the nearly 7,000 yen parfait. It's a bit hesitant to spend 7,000 yen on a parfait, right? Other customers can enjoy their treats in a simple eat-in space in the front. He ordered "Ethiopia (850 yen)" and "Pudding (480 yen)." I forgot to ask for his coffee feedback, but he said the pudding was delicious. I got two scoops of gelato (750 yen) - "Peach" and "Berry." Wow, the visual presentation is beautiful and eye-catching. The pie had plenty of butter, making it crispy. I was full, so he helped me with the cookies, which were also delicious. The Berry flavor was good, but the Peach had chunks of fruit and was delicious. The overall pricing, including drinks, is on the higher side, but the gelato was so delicious that I might want to try it again. Thank you, F, for accompanying this old lady. You've been working hard for two days. If you come back to Fukuoka, please feel free to contact me. The total cost for two people was 2,138 yen (tax included; credit cards accepted).

PÂTISSERIE ASAKO IWAYANAGI, which has three stores in Tokyo, has opened its first store outside the city! This time, I tried their freshly filled "Premium Chou à la Crème" for eat-in. They fill the cream after you order, so you can fully enjoy the crispy texture of the cookie choux. It goes perfectly with the rich and smooth cream! I paired it with Japanese tea. I enjoyed the rich umami and subtle floral aroma of Gyokuro tea "Tsuyuhikari" and the refreshing aftertaste of Hojicha tea "Hojicha". Both the choux and the Japanese tea were incredibly delicious, making my mouth happy all the time. I also bought some baked goods like canelés and scones to take home. They also have cup parfaits and gift items, which would be great for souvenirs.

I heard that my favorite Asako Iwayanagi cafe opened in Fukuoka, so I went to visit. The cafe is reservation-only and serves only parfait visages. I wasn't feeling up to eating a parfait visage because it's quite big, so I planned to buy something for takeout instead. However, there was a free space where you could eat what you bought, if available. When I arrived, it was full, but after exploring the area and returning, there was an open spot, so I ordered the Anporte Peche. It may seem a bit pricey for takeout, but the parfait was truly amazing, so the price is justified. Despite being a peach parfait, it was filled with Japanese elements like kudzu and azuki bean paste, creating a perfect harmony that was really delicious. I will definitely visit again when I go to Fukuoka. It's easier to get to Fukuoka than to Eno-shima when I go to Tokyo, even though Fukuoka is far away.

I loved the parfait that I got to take out, with all the different varieties like Mont Blanc, pistachio, kiwi, peach, combining sweet and sour flavors and various textures. It was delicious. I am happy that my favorite Asakoiwayanagi has opened a branch in Fukuoka.

I stopped by this place while I was nearby. It's a very popular shop, so I decided to try their takeout items. Honestly, I didn't find the taste to be as amazing as people say. The presentation is nice, but the taste... it's not something that I would be very grateful for. It's quite heavy and hard to finish. They tried to combine too many flavors into one. I often enjoy sweets from luxury hotels, and those are much tastier and cheaper than here. Fukuoka has many other delicious restaurants, so if given the choice, I would prefer to visit those instead of spending 6,000 yen on a parfait here. I don't mind spending money on good food, but I think I may have expected too much based on the reviews. The extravagant appearance may be good for social media, but that's about it.

It was an exciting and thrilling first experience. However, no matter how many times I come, there are always so many people. Someday, I want to try the rumored high-class parfait, I have to try it, no, I will definitely try it! Until then, I will be satisfied with takeout! I will definitely come back!

Overall, this is a review of a sweets shop located in Fukuoka Daimyo Garden City, which is known for having many excellent shops. This was my second visit, and this time I was able to dine in. The strawberry shortcake was priced at nearly 2000 yen, which made me hesitate as I usually don't mind dining alone. I thought to myself, "This is meant to be shared by a couple, right? Oh no." So, I opted for the cream puff instead. I also decided to pair it with a cup of coffee. Cream Puff + Iced Coffee: I was pleasantly surprised by the cream puff. Initially, I was a bit skeptical, but as I kept eating, it became more and more delicious. However, I couldn't help but think, "Don't baked goods taste better?" Honestly, I've never had a cake shop where the baked goods were tastier than the cakes. I would like to try all the baked goods they offer. Thank you for the meal.

■Overall Review Continuing with the post from "ASAKOIWAYANAGIFUKUOKA," this time it's about takeout. Last time it was standard cookies and pound cake, but this time it's financiers and raspberry cookies, which ultimately resulted in baked goods being the best. I haven't tried the shortcake yet, but how can baked goods be tastier than that? By the way, I mentioned to "mento soup" that the baked goods here are incredibly delicious. ■Financiers These are insanely delicious. They're even better than Aoki's. Are the butter different? I don't understand the principle behind it. It's amazing that the ones with a shorter shelf life are tastier. The cream puffs are also outstanding. ■Raspberry Cookies I love raspberries, so naturally, these are delicious too. This is even better than the original ones. By the way, my partner prefers this one. Thank you for the meal.

It seems that a Tokyo restaurant has opened its first branch outside the city in Fukuoka. I didn't know much about it, but my wife really wanted to try it because it looked delicious. However, we were put off by the price of the parfait, which was close to 7,000 yen. When we arrived at the restaurant, there was a line outside because it was the weekend. We found out that only those who had reserved the parfait could eat inside, while others had to sit on the sofa and eat what they had purchased. The lighting inside was dim, making it hard to see the menu. We were there during the evening Bar time, and when we got to the showcase, it was foggy and hard to see the items. I ordered a pistachio mini parfait and my wife got a crepe. We thought about ordering drinks, but they were expensive, so we decided against it. My parfait looked elaborate and nice from the side, but it was too heavy for my liking and the taste didn't match the high price. After I finished mine, my wife's crepe arrived, which was like a creme brulee crepe. She liked the first bite, but then found it a bit heavy. The service was also a concern. Considering that the restaurant had been open for almost a month, I expected better. The meal was quite expensive, and I don't think I will visit again.

Fukuoka Daimyo Garden City has been completed next to the Nishitetsu Grand Hotel! The atmosphere has changed drastically, it's kind of mysterious. The Youth Center is gone too. The most intriguing thing is the "Asako Iwayanagi" where the parfait costs over 6000 yen. Of course, I can't afford such an expensive parfait, but it's still interesting. The mini parfait looks delicious. You can reserve a table at the far back to enjoy the Parfait Bijou. At the bench in the front, you can have mini parfaits and baked goods. Even though they are for takeout, the mini parfaits are quite substantial. They have multiple layers with various flavors to enjoy. There isn't anything that I wouldn't want to try, they all seem delicious! I definitely want to try all the varieties. Will I ever get to see the "Parfait Bijou"?

This is a cake shop located on the 2nd floor of Fukuoka Daimyo Garden City, which also houses the Ritz-Carlton, a favorite of the wealthy. It is a branch of a popular cake shop from Tokyo, and I must say that the quality is top-notch. I tried their baked goods to go, and they were delicious. The cookies were especially tasty, and I haven't come across such high-quality baked goods in Fukuoka before. It seems like this shop attracts some amazing talent behind the scenes. My companion also loved the pound cake, so I look forward to dining in next time.

Parfait Bijoux® Series, "Ethiopia Gelsei Light Roast" coffee was delicious. Located a 6-minute walk from Akasaka Station on the Fukuoka City Subway, the Fukuoka branch of ASAKO IWAYANAGI opened on June 8th at Fukuoka Daimyo Garden City 2F. I made a reservation and visited after 11 o'clock. I was a bit nervous as a fan to see if Parfait Bijoux® would be well-received in Fukuoka, including the pricing. However, my worries were unfounded. There were many customers waiting for the store to open. Despite just opening, it's already popular. The store has large windows, bright seating areas with counter and table seats. There are also spaces without tables where customers enjoy crepes. I was seated at the counter. I chose the "Ethiopia Gelsei Light Roast" coffee and enjoyed red shiso tea and mille-feuille as an appetizer while watching the parfait being made in front of me. Finally, the Parfait Bijoux® Series arrived. I had the cherry parfait this year which I also had at the main store, but it looked even more dazzling as if the jewels were shining brighter. Cherry and pistachio is the perfect combination. Although the Fukuoka branch does not have cakes, the mini parfaits available for takeout are tempting. Another wonderful store has been added to the list.
