Enjoy luxurious sweets topped with Ukiha fruits at this traditional Japanese cafe (Yoshii-cho, Ukiha City) where you can relax.
Hello. This is Chihilog, a casual website that shares Fukuoka gourmet information.
This time, we will introduce you to a wonderful old-style Japanese-style cafe located in Yoshii-cho, Ukiha City.
Be enchanted by the nostalgic atmosphere! Old-style cafe "Ukihyoka" (Yoshii-cho, Ukiha City)
"Ukihyoka" is located about a 10-minute walk from Chikugo Yoshii Station on the JR Kyudai Main Line.
Opened on December 10, 2022, this cafe has a great atmosphere and is housed in a renovated old Japanese house.

The quaint sign is also lovely!

The restaurant has table seating, counter seating, and raised seating.

The raised seats are special seats where you can feel the warmth of the sunlight filtering in through the shoji screens.
You can enjoy a relaxing time here, as if time has stopped.

I visited on a weekday, and there were many people there, regardless of age or gender.
From here on, we will introduce the menu that we actually had!
A hearty and luxurious dessert filled with fruit: "Mala Kao and chunky fruit trifle with kiwi sorbet"
This is the "Mala Kao and Fruit Trifle with Kiwi Sorbet" (800 yen). This is a luxurious dessert made with plenty of seasonal fruits carefully selected from the Ukiha to Tanushimaru area.

The moment it was brought to me, I was surprised by how big it was!
I had always wanted to try it, so I had followed it on social media, and when I saw the photos, I was surprised at how much bigger it was than I had imagined.

Chef Kajiwara of Ukihyoka has over eight years of experience in cooking Chinese cuisine at famous hotels and other establishments, so the desserts he serves have a slight Chinese flavor.
It is also filled with chunks of "malakao," a Chinese-style steamed castella cake.

The cream drizzled on top is almond flavored, with an irresistible Asian flavor!
Of course, it also goes great with fruit.

The seasonal gelato served with it is kiwi sorbet.

To adjust the hardness, a small amount of water and sugar is added, but because they wanted to "make it using as few raw materials as possible," it is made almost 100% from Ukiha kiwi fruit.
The juicy flavor of kiwi is irresistible!

Not only the gelato, but also the flavors of the pastry and cream, and the fruits change with the seasons, making you want to come back again and again. They say that in the coming seasons, they may be introducing peaches and other flavors!
By the way, just as the name suggests, Ukihyoka is a shop that originally specializes in ice cream.
The gelato comes in a variety of flavors, mainly made with fruits from Ukiha, as well as soy sauce from Umenoya Jozojo, a soy sauce specialty store in Ukiha, and matcha from a tea shop in Ukiha.

You can choose from "single size" (400 yen), "double size" (450 yen), and "triple size" (500 yen), and take-out is also available.
I can't decide which one to choose ♡ Sweets perfect for a relaxing cafe time
There are plenty of other attractive sweets available too!
Ukiha fruit roll cake with jasmine tea gelato
This is the "Ukiha Fruit Roll Cake with Jasmine Tea Gelato" (600 yen).
On this day, it was garnished with Ukiha strawberries.

No matter what angle you look at it from, you'll be mesmerized by the beautiful presentation! It's so cute that it's almost a shame to eat it.

The fluffy sponge cake is also homemade. Depending on the season, the cake may have a coconut flavor, and the cream and fruit used also change.

The jasmine tea gelato is a flavor that is typical of Kajiwara, who comes from a Chinese cuisine background.
The subtle, sophisticated flavor goes perfectly with roll cake.

Sesame and coconut dumplings
"Sesame dumplings" and "Coconut dumplings" (150 yen each) are available for eat-in or take-out.

"Sesame dumplings" are an irresistible dish with a chewy texture and fragrant flavor.
The filling is black sesame paste, an addictive taste.

The inside of the "Coconut Dumplings" is filled with custard.
The soft and chewy dough is filled with a gentle cream filling.

There is also a wide selection of drinks on the menu!
"Ukihyoka" also has a wide selection of drinks on the menu.
This time, I ordered some coffee (hot and iced, 320 yen each) to go with the dessert.
Image: CHIHIRO
Although there is an extensive non-alcoholic menu, more than half of the drinks on the menu are actually alcoholic!
Another great thing about this store is that they offer drinks at affordable prices, such as "Lemon Sour" (380 yen) and "Lime Sour" (380 yen).
They also have a menu that is perfect for daytime drinking.
All of the sweets, which are made with plenty of Ukiha fruits and can be enjoyed in a nostalgic atmosphere, are absolutely delicious.
