The night view is also amazing! "It's like a full course meal♡" Luxurious afternoon tea starting at 5pm (Haruyoshi, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City)

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

This time, we will introduce the new products of this cafe, which has been popular since its opening for its delicious and beautiful afternoon tea♡

Enjoy the night view of Nakasu! Cafe restaurant "QUON River Terrace" in an excellent location (Haruyoshi, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka)

QUON River Terrace is located on the second floor of a building next to Haruyoshi Bridge over the Naka River, about a seven-minute walk from Nakasu-Kawabata Station on the Fukuoka City Subway.

Afternoon tea is the shop's signature dish.

The interior of the store has a modern Japanese atmosphere with an abundance of wood.

The seats by the windows offer a view of Nakasu across the Naka River. The restaurant is open at night, so the night view is also very beautiful.

It's like a bite-sized full course meal! Afternoon tea from 5pm can be enjoyed with alcoholic beverages.

"Premium High Tea" (6,000 yen per person, table seating is limited to two hours) is available during dinner time from 5:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. (except Sundays).

The stand plans to change its menu every 3 to 4 months, with the bottom two shelves being devoted to savory dishes. It's a gorgeous selection with 4 types of petit fours, a choice of scone sandwiches, 1 assiette dessert, and 10 types of savory dishes.

Comes with mini-sized pasta, scone sandwiches, and a dessert plate.

In addition, you can enjoy free drinks for 90 minutes from 23 types of drinks, mainly tea, coffee, and herbal tea.

For an additional 1,000 yen you can enjoy wine, and for an additional 2,000 yen you can enjoy about 50 types of cocktails and mocktails for 90 minutes.

This time, I ordered a plan that included cocktails and mocktails, and ordered a Mojito and a Shirley Temple. The cute appearance of the drink really gets me excited.

In authentic British afternoon tea, you start from the bottom tier, but at this shop they encourage you to enjoy tea however you like.

Let me start by introducing the lower section of the stand.

On the bottom plate, clockwise from the top left, are "Kuyama Yayoi Pork Cutlet Sandwich," "Homemade Focaccia Egg Sandwich," "Black Tea Duck Brulee," "Seared Spicy Fish Eggs with Caviar," and "Quiche Arrabiata."

It also comes in sandwiches, quiches and other dishes that can be enjoyed as a meal.

Black tea duck is a duck meat from ducks raised with tea powder added to their feed. It's a rare treat.

And the mini-sized pasta was "Kyushu Wagyu Beef Bolognese." It was full of meat and had a rich flavor! I ate it all in one go, and it was very filling.

The second tier of plates, clockwise from the top left, features a diverse lineup of dishes including "White beans and chorizo stewed in tomato sauce," "Seared fresh fish and seasonal vegetable marinade," "Beef kimbap," and "Beccafico-style sardines"!

Although each dish is bite-sized, you can sample a variety of them, which makes it feel like you're enjoying a full course meal.

The top shelf is the dessert plate, which, clockwise from the left, features four desserts: "Vanilla and Blackcurrant Petit Choux," "Honey Mousse with Shikwasa Jelly," "Hojicha and Apricot Cream Sandwich," and "Butterfly Pea Jelly with Rosemary Yogurt."

The blue and purple colors of this lovely plate are reminiscent of hydrangeas and the rainy season. All the dishes are not too sweet, making them very refreshing.

Next up is the scone sandwich, which each person can choose one from five different varieties.

From the left: "Pistachio Lemon," "Caramel Chocolate," "Beetroot & Raspberry," "Walnut & Maple," and "Matcha Marron."

We chose "Pistachio Lemon" and "Beetroot & Raspberry". Moist scones sandwiched with fluffy cream! It was a scone sandwich that allowed us to enjoy the taste of the ingredients.

The dessert plate was "Fresh Mango Pineapple Sorbet." It was a cool and delicious dessert that allowed you to enjoy the subtle flavor of mango and the refreshing taste of pineapple.
