It’s spring in Fukuoka and fields of bright yellow nanohana are everywhere, and soon the cherry blossoms will bloom too. We’ve published guides on our website to viewing spots for both. This month’s restaurant pick is Ginmi where the dashi is made right before your eyes. For a comfort-food noodle experience, we introduce Pikamatsu. Try either their champon or sara udon served in a folksy setting. Alternatively, for creative and exceptional tasting cocktails in a chill yet classy lounge with a counter bar, check out The Roam Bar in Shirogane. Finally, in a city already filled with awesome independent cafes, do we need more? Well, Doug Weber and partners at Kamakiri Coffee think so! Read about their new cafe in Yakuin where a cortado and yummy sourdough toast can be enjoyed. However, our big scoop this month is our guide to a recently discovered power spot in Itoshima called Shinseki, or God Stone. Read all about that and eight suggested events on our website, or download the PDF.
