The grand opening of the ONE Fukuoka Bldg. is set for April 24. On the 5th floor of this building, a new cafeteria will open to provide nutritious and wholesome meals for people working in Tenjin. We stopped by for a special sneak preview before the official opening\u2014and here\u2019s what it\u2019s all about.<\/span><\/p>\n

\"Tenjin<\/p>\n

As part of the redevelopment of Tenjin\u2014a district buzzing with energy and potential\u2014Tenjin Fuku\u00a0 Shokudo was created with the concept of \u201cfilling you with warmth,\u201d keeping in mind the physical and mental well-being of people who work in the area. With everything handmade except for basic seasonings, the cafeteria plans to serve over 200 varieties of set meals, rice bowls, curry, ramen, and more throughout the year\u2014all for under \u00a51,000. It\u2019s easy on both the body and the wallet.<\/span><\/p>\n

The operation is a joint effort between Nishitetsu, the building\u2019s owner, and Ringrazie, a beloved Italian restaurant in Hirao with more than 15 years of history. Combining Nishitetsu\u2019s city development vision and Ringrazie know-how (honed through managing student cafeterias like at Chikushi Jogakuen), the team is taking on this project with the mission of \u201cnurturing people through food.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n

Dishes created by Ringrazie are prepared and served by staff members from a wide variety of backgrounds, aged from their teens to their seventies. Each day at lunch, 13 different menu items are available, including both staple dishes and a rotating selection that changes every four days. Rice bowls and curry are also available for takeout.<\/span><\/p>\n

Even the dashi (broth) and consomm\u00e9 are made in-house with care, offering flavors that evoke nostalgia for Japanese diners.<\/span><\/p>\n
