Great to visit together with Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine! A stylish way to enjoy Fukuoka's specialty, the exquisite "Mentaiko Foam Cream Udon" (Chikushino City)

Hello. I'm Yuri and I love going out with my kids.

This time, we will introduce a wonderful cafe in Chikushino City.

A stylish cafe near Nishitetsu's Futsukaichi Station, ".png+" (Futsukaichi, Chikushino City)

".png+ (Ping Plus)" is located a 2-minute walk from Nishitetsu "Futsukaichi" Station.

It's right next to the station, so it's very accessible!

The interior of the store is a chic space with a black motif.

Original design roller curtains hang in front of the counter seats, creating a wonderful and stylish atmosphere.

There are also pop-ups in collaboration with various artists, so the atmosphere changes every time you visit, which is one of the joys of the store. On the day I visited, there was an exhibition by artist ".aN."

The hot new menu item! Chewy "Mentaiko Foam Cream Udon"

This time I ordered the new menu item "Mentaiko Foam Cream Udon" (1,500 yen), which started in April 2023. *Limited quantity, while supplies last

Roast beef was added as a topping (+300 yen)!

Although it looks like pasta, the noodles are an original thin, flat udon made from 100% Fukuoka Prefecture wheat flour.

It also looks vibrant with vibrant red onions and Spicy Fish Eggs.

The creamy sauce is made by diluting high-quality fresh cream with carefully made stock.

The cream sauce, Spicy Fish Eggs, and citrus are prepared right in front of you.

The citrus fruits that are grated right in front of you are said to be in season.

This time, Shiranui apples were used from Kumamoto Prefecture, but depending on the season, yuzu or lime may also be used. Being able to enjoy different flavors all year round may be one of the reasons why people want to buy it again and again.

The noodles have a chewy texture! The spiciness changes depending on how much Spicy Fish Eggs is dissolved in the cream sauce on top, so you never get bored of eating it until the very end.

The cream had a mild flavor, and the citrus and Spicy Fish Eggs added nice accents.

The roast beef topping is juicy and tender, and full of flavor!

As the restaurant is located near Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine, they have created a new menu item called "NEO Hakata Udon" by combining Spicy Fish Eggs a Fukuoka specialty, with udon noodles, with the hope that tourists will enjoy themselves.

I was able to enjoy the deliciousness of Fukuoka specialties in one dish.

Be sure to check out the dessert menu, which includes croffles!

The dessert menu is also noteworthy. This is the "Chocolate Crouffle" (850 yen).

It was crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, and very delicious. The rich chocolate sauce is irresistible for chocolate lovers!

The croffles matched perfectly with the chic atmosphere of the restaurant.

For drinks, I ordered a "Cafe Latte" (500 yen, left) and a "Yuzu Squash" (450 yen, right).

The illustrations on the coasters were so cute that I couldn't help but line them up and take a picture.

Speaking of udon, we tend to think of it pairing well with tea, but the Mentaiko Foam Cream Udon was a perfect match with cafe latte!

The refreshing "Yuzu Squash" has a yuzu aroma and is easy to drink with just the right amount of bitterness and carbonation.

It's only two stops from Nishitetsu's Dazaifu Station, so it would be a good idea to combine it with a visit to Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine. Why not stop by and check it out? (Text by Yuri-chan)
