Finally! The winter is over and it’s time to set sail on Hakata Bay for a fresh air adventure! This month we learn about sailing in Fukuoka from Linda Saza, a long-time Fukuoka resident who brings us up to speed on clubs, schools, how to get a license, and more. We also introduce Fukuoka Sunset Sailing’s skipper Jaap Mulder. He can take you and your friends out on his gorgeous 10.75 meter catamaran for a spectacular sunset in Hakata Bay – or way beyond! Jaap is also the subject of our regular interview column. Learn why he and his wife prefer to live on boat (permanently!) Our restaurant pick this month is also related to the sea; we report on Minato-cafe Breath, a very unique cafe with a view of a shipbuilding yard. Not only a cool location, but tasty food and drinks too! Speaking of food, finding halal or Muslim friendly foods in Fukuoka has never been easy. So we’ve posted a guide to over 20 such establishments. Next, we began a new column called “Fukuoka Kau Kau”. Each month we ask a resident foreigner to select items within a set budget from a shop. This month Ali Khan takes the shopping challenge at Don Quijote Nakasu. That’s it! – now download the PDF or access the Fukuoka Now website www.fukuoka-now.com and enjoy Fukuoka!
