I had always wanted to try the Minori Cafe. On this day, I ordered the Herb Grilled Honey Mustard Sauce with Ariake Chicken (1,309 yen) and a drink set (220 yen) with homemade lemonade. It was a weekday evening, but the place was about 70% full. The dressing was delicious, and the rice was fluffy and chewy. The chicken was also tender and tasty. The store information says it's on the 6th floor of Fukuoka Parco, but it's actually on the 6th floor of the new building. Electronic money is accepted, and I used d payment.

I often use this place when meeting friends. It's near the station and you can relax here, so I highly recommend it! You can just have coffee, or if you're feeling a bit hungry, you can have lunch too! There are sofa seats where you can stay for a long time, so it's recommended for meeting friends, dates, or having conversations with seniors!

While shopping, I stopped by because I was tired. I had decided on the "Black Sesame Milk Latte" until I saw the menu, but I hesitated while in line and changed to the "Hakata Amaou Latte" following the person in front of me... (*ﾟーﾟ)笑 It's a refreshing milk drink with just the right amount of sweetness and easy to drink. 😉

One of my daughter's favorite characters is Chiikawa. We went to "Chiikawa Restaurant & Drink Stand." When we arrived around 12 o'clock, there was a line, so we did some other things first and returned around 1:30, where there were about 8 groups waiting in line. We waited for about 30 minutes and were then guided to a table with Chiikawa plushies. There were also counter seats, and I noticed a few solo customers. Surprisingly, it was mostly adult women, not just children, who were fans. We placed our belongings on the table and went to order at the counter. We received a buzzer and returned to our seats. While waiting for the food, we took photos with Chiikawa. After about 7 minutes, the buzzer rang, and I went to pick up the food. Chiikawa pork bun for 660 yen was so cute, and my daughter loved it. We also ordered a lucky draw Cream Soda for 1210 yen, a Fukuoka Parco limited item. There were three flavors: Blue Hawaii, Strawberry, and Mango, and my daughter chose the Blue Hawaii. It was also very cute. The orange was from Fukuoka, and the ice cream used milk from Fukuoka and Saga, which shows their commitment to local ingredients. My daughter won a prize, and she was thrilled to receive a sticker on our way out. We also tried the Hot Almond Milk with Marshmallow for 1100 yen, where we could decorate the marshmallow ourselves. We got the rabbit design, and my daughter had fun decorating it. It was also very cute. If there are more collaborations like this in the future, I would love to bring my daughter again. "Chiikawa Restaurant & Drink Stand" at Fukuoka Parco, Fukuoka City, Chuo Ward, Tenjin 2-11-1, Shin Building 6th floor, Minori Cafe. Period: February 23, 2023 (Thu, holiday) - April 2, 2023 (Sun) 11:00-21:00 (Last order 20:30).

Matcha latte for 539 yen (tax included). The location is great because it's always empty on weekday afternoons, with seats spaced out so you can relax comfortably. They have two types of smoothies: "Amaou" and "Seasonal Fruit." Today's flavor was "Persimmon." The persimmon smoothie... definitely has that quality of JA (Japan Agricultural Cooperatives). I couldn't bring myself to try it, so I went with the matcha latte. It was delicious.

The rich persimmon parfait with black honey gelato was delicious, with a refined sweetness and a fruit-filled flavor. I felt the gentle deliciousness of the persimmon, so I think toning down or changing the surrounding flavors a bit would make it stand out even more.

This is a cafe on the 6th floor of the new building at PARCO. I was looking forward to the Peach Fair, but was disappointed to find out that the peaches were sold out. So, this time I ordered the Amaou smoothie. After placing my order, I received a number tag and when my number was called, I went to pick it up. The Amaou smoothie had a smooth texture with chunks of fruit, allowing me to enjoy the strawberry flavor. You can relax and stay for a while without worrying about time, making it a good place for a break during shopping at PARCO.

After six months, I had a business trip to Fukuoka. After finishing all the scheduled work, I went shopping at Parco and decided to have a little tea break. I found a cafe on the 6th floor of Fukuoka Parco and it felt familiar, like I had seen it somewhere before. It turns out it's the same brand as the cafe on the 9th floor of Ginza Mitsukoshi in Tokyo. This cafe is part of the JA Zennoh's "Minori Project," aiming to foster a connection between producers and consumers through food and agriculture. The cafe in Fukuoka has a relaxed and open atmosphere, making it easy to enter and comfortable to stay in. For my afternoon tea break, I had an iced coffee for ¥390 and enjoyed the vibe. Fukuoka's Tenjin area is undergoing a large-scale redevelopment project (Tenjin Big Bang), so it will be interesting to see how it changes in the coming years. With my work in Fukuoka completed, I look forward to going out on my last night here. Thank you for the meal.

I'm on a low-carb diet, but I still get hungry! It's hard to find a restaurant to go to while dieting because I make sure to eat a filling lunch. I decided to try "Minori Cafe," a place I used to frequent, and they had a salad-only menu! It had 10 types of vegetables from Itoshima, and I was completely satisfied with the amount of veggies!

I have been here a few times. It is located in front of the elevator on the 6th floor of Parco, and it is a relatively well-rotated open cafe with sofa seats that are easy for children to use. You can enjoy meals and desserts here. It is more relaxing to use than the Starbucks on the lower floor. This time, I purchased a plate where you can choose between a hamburger and a sandwich. The hamburger costs 300 yen extra, so it is a bit pricey for lunch, but it's a taste that children like, so it's fine. The sandwich looks good and has a lot of vegetables, so the cost performance is quite good. I highly recommend the sandwich. Thank you for the meal!

I wanted to go to Roma Ken in the basement of Parco, but the shop was gone, so I came to "Minori Cafe" on the 6th floor of the new Parco building. The interior of the cafe is calm and relaxing, with mainly tables and sofa seats. I sat on a sofa seat, which was very comfortable. I ordered the healthy curry with plenty of soybeans. The salad that came with it had coriander on top, which was also good. It was also served on top of the rice. Personally, I thought it could be a little spicier, but it was gentle and delicious! Thank you for the meal.

Moved from Hakata to Tenjin. When I exited the subway ticket gate, I saw a Starbucks sign right at the entrance of Parco Annex, and since I had some time before the next store I was planning to visit opened, I decided to take a break. While looking around for other options, I came across a cafe that uses ingredients from Kyushu, so I decided to go there instead. When I got off the elevator, I thought I was inside the store, but the seating area was more like a free space. The seats along the wall a little away from the front of the store were taken by what looked like students who hadn't bought anything and were busy on their smartphones. I didn't check closely, but I could see what looked like power outlets on the large table next to my seat, so it might be a hidden gem spot. The amaou strawberry smoothie latte was okay, with a generous amount of cream and a puree-like topping. Fukuoka Prefecture-produced Amaou Strawberry Smoothie Latte.

<December 14, 2019 (Saturday)> We visited a shop for a little break after getting tired from walking around the town. There were three of us, my family. <What we ordered> *Prices listed are before tax (10% added) ◆<Husband> Black Sugar Ginger Ale \500......Please refer to the price and image only. ◆<Me> Ureshino Red Tea Ice \380......Ureshino red tea is made from "Yabukita" tea leaves and has a slight sweetness. It is easy to drink even without adding anything. ◆<Daughter> Today's Gelato Size S \350......There are 10 flavors available (milk, tea, ginger, spinach, black sugar ginger, navel orange, sweet potato, yuzu, persimmon, pumpkin) and my daughter chose "tea". It was a refreshing and mildly sweet gelato.

I visited a vegetable curry restaurant during lunchtime on a regular day. The menu includes vegetable curry, sandwiches, minced cutlet hamburg steak, and gapao rice, as well as various desserts. I was undecided but ended up choosing the vegetable curry this time. You can add a drink for an additional 100 yen. The vegetable curry is filled with plenty of root vegetables such as pumpkin, turnips, sweet potatoes, and lotus roots. It comes with a vegetable-filled soup, which is a nice touch. I chose lemonade as my drink. Feeling a bit unsatisfied, I also ordered dessert. The dessert was a spinach cake. The spinach cake was slightly sweet and had a firm texture. I was worried that it might be small based on its appearance, but in reality, the portion was generous and I ended up feeling full. I would like to try the hamburg steak next time.

Minori Cafe, located on the 6th floor of Tenjin Parco's new building, is a cafe that uses agricultural products from Fukuoka. In addition to their menu, they also sell vegetables from Itoshima at the storefront. They offer a set of Amao strawberry cheesecake for 480 yen and organic coffee for 390 yen, with a discount of 150 yen. The total with tax included is 777 yen. You order and pay at the counter, then pick up your order next to it. Despite the high foot traffic due to being located next to Parco's main building, the cafe has a relaxed atmosphere. The coffee has a slightly bitter taste, typical of organic coffee. The cheesecake is not too sweet, with a hint of Amao strawberry flavor. Overall, the food seems to be gentle on the body. I also spotted a Minori Cafe in Hiroshima Station's Ekie, which features local products from the Chugoku-Shikoku region. After a leisurely break, I headed down to the 5th floor to watch HKT48's YokaYoka live broadcast. Maari (Imamura Marii) and Aachan (Watanabe Akari), a middle school duo, were adored by teenage fans, including me and other middle-aged men. YokaYoka!

Located on the 6th floor of Fukuoka Parco in Tenjin, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City, this cafe is themed around local production for local consumption, managed by JA Zenno. You can enjoy light meals and gelato here. The atmosphere inside the cafe is nice. Since I had already eaten, I ordered gelato. I chose the flavors of Nouroku Mandarin and Milk. Nouroku is named after a variety called "Kankitsu Nakama Honpo Farm 6". It seems to be a variety from Kumamoto. It had a slightly bitter taste like the peel of a mandarin orange.

My friend came to Fukuoka to visit, so I decided to have lunch here since it was too hot to walk around. We had a stylish sandwich with lots of vegetables that looked beautiful. However, it was a bit messy to eat, with bits falling out as we ate. It was delicious.

I went to Minori Cafe with a friend during a shopping break. It is located on the upper floors of Parco, where you can eat meals as well as enjoy coffee and cake at a relaxed pace. The cafe has an open and cozy atmosphere. They serve delicious drinks like Itojima-grown strawberry yogurt and lemonade.

The fig tart was delicious. I was able to relax.

I had Demio omurice and hot lemonade. The summer vegetables were delicious and the flavors were exquisite.
