We send out information from Fukuoka every day that will make you say,"Yeah, that's right!"

Hello. I'm ayu.latte, a writer who loves unusual and delicious things.

This time, we will introduce some rare sweets that are not often seen in Fukuoka! This is also a must-see for dog lovers ♡

Cafe Arrivederci: A relaxing cafe where pets are allowed (Hirao, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka)

Cafe Arrivederci is a lovely cafe located on Sanso-dori in Hirao, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City, where you can bring your dog. They also have a full menu for doggies, making it a must-visit for dog lovers.

When entering or leaving the store, please be sure to close the fence to prevent the dogs inside from escaping.

The store's name, "Arrivederci," means "see you later," "goodbye," or "see you again" in Italian, and is imbued with the desire to "create a store that customers will want to visit again."

You can enjoy everything from lunch (reservations required by 3pm the day before) to cafe and evening cafe. If you think, "Because it's a dog cafe, they probably don't have any special food," you're wrong! They have a delicious menu of carefully selected dishes for both owners and dogs (no reservations required for the dog menu). Of course, people without dogs are also welcome♪

The interior of the store is decorated with pale blue walls and white and wooden furniture, creating a very cute space.

It's so comfortable♡

The restaurant is small, with just three tables and a counter, but the open kitchen creates a spacious atmosphere.

By the way, they often get asked, "What size dog is OK?", but small dogs such as toy poodles and large dogs such as golden retrievers are all OK. However, they must be trained to a minimum and not bark excessively.

Our mascot dog, Perochi-kun, has a new family!

When I visited the shop before, I was greeted by the owner's pet tiny poodle, Perochi-kun. He is a lively boy who is now 1.5 years old.

In August 2021, a new teacup poodle, Ninnin-chan, joined the family.

When you enter the store, the two cats will hop around to greet you.

They are very friendly and you can pet them, hold them, hold them on your lap and play with them. They are great for people who want to have a pet but can't.

There may be days when Perochi-kun and Ninnin-chan are not there, so if you are interested, please send an inquiry via DM on Instagram.

Do you know what "nougat glacé" is?

By the way, do you know the sweet called "nougat glacé"?

It is a new ice dessert with a new texture that originated in France. It is made by cooling and hardening "nougat", which has a caramel-like texture and contains dried fruits and nuts, together with fresh cream and meringue.

The owner was so impressed by the "nougat glacé" he had at a restaurant a long time ago that he recreated it at home. Since there aren't many places in Fukuoka where you can get it, he thought, "In that case, I'll just serve it myself!" and added it to the menu.

This is the "Nougat Glacé" (700 yen).

The Italian meringue and fresh cream are stuffed with several kinds of dried fruits soaked in liqueur and sponge cake.

Although nuts are a standard ingredient, this one deliberately did not include nuts. Instead, it was topped with chopped pistachios to add some flavor.

It melts in your mouth softly. You can enjoy the different textures of pistachio, fruit, cream and sponge. It's not too sweet, and has a slightly adult taste.

Since it is a cold dessert, I paired it simply with hot tea.

This is a dessert that would go well with hot coffee or chai tea latte.

Cafe Arrivederci now has two mascot dogs, making it an even more relaxing space.

Whether you're alone or with your dog, why not drop in and be soothed by the adorable Perochi-kun and Ninnin-chan, as well as the owner? (Text by ayu.latte)
