[New and popular in the Tenjin area] A stylish cafe with glittering, jewel-like sweets perfect for your favorite idols
Hello. I'm ayu.latte, a writer who loves cafes.
This time, we will introduce you to some shops in the Tenjin area that are perfect for your favorite idol activities.
"Jewelry and Black Cat" (Imaizumi, Chuo Ward, Fukuoka City), a cafe designed to resemble a "jewelry box" located in a room in a building along Kokutai Road.
About a 7-minute walk from the south exit of Nishitetsu Fukuoka (Tenjin) Station. The cafe "Jewels and Black Cats" opened in June 2023 on the second floor of the KG Building in Imaizumi, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City, along Kokutai Road. This shop offers sweets and drinks that are like "jewels."
Take the stairs to the second floor.
The interior of the store is decorated in monochrome to resemble a "jewelry box," creating a chic and mature atmosphere. The chandeliers are gorgeous.
When there are no customers inside the store, it is like an empty "jewel box." The idea is that the store is complete only when the sweets and drinks are lined up on the tables.
In addition to table seats, there are also counter seats that are convenient for single diners.
The sofa seats here, lined with silver cushions and bathed in natural light, are apparently the most popular.
Drinks and sweets made by a patissier
The best thing about this place is the colorful desserts and drinks! You can choose the one that matches your favorite member's color.
What's more, each one is handmade by a pastry chef, giving it an authentic taste.
Gemstone Drink
The most popular item is the "Jewelry Drink" (847 yen to 968 yen)! From the left in the photo below, there are pink sapphire, purple zoisite, red beryl, mandarin garnet, yellow diamond, blue spinel, green tourmaline, white pearl, and black opal. There are nine different types in total.
What's more, they can also customize colors that are not listed here as much as possible!
The soda is topped with whipped cream, vanilla ice cream, and jewel jelly.
I chose the "Black Opal" (847 yen) and "White Pearl" (968 yen) to match the atmosphere of the shop. The black one was based on cola, and the white one was based on a lactic acid bacteria drink.
Snow White Pearl
The new product "Snow White Pearl" (1,200 yen) is only available for the winter season. It's so cute that I ordered it.
The base is a pistachio and raspberry tart, topped with whipped cream that looks like a snowflake.
The small pieces are white pearl crackers made of cereal coated in white chocolate, with a crunchy texture that adds a nice accent to the snack.
The round things with gold leaf on top are yogurt balls! They were super soft and squishy.
It was full of cream, but had a refreshing sweetness that made me eat it all in no time.
Please check Instagram for the sales period.
Onyx Mini Parfait
"Onyx Mini Parfait" (1,400 yen) is available in two flavors: black and white.
The "Black Onyx Mini Parfait" is a cool-looking parfait made with black ice cream made from bamboo charcoal, Oreos, and chocolate flakes. It is finished off with a candy decoration as thin as a hair.
The taste is guaranteed to be great ♡ The different textures of each part are also fun.
The "White Onyx Mini Parfait" is a pure white parfait made with yogurt gelato, fresh cream, white mousse, white chocolate, and more.
The texture of the white pearl crackers adds an accent! The gentle sweetness is irresistible.
Large Gem Macaroon
The "Large Gem Macaron" (1,650 yen) is several times the size of a regular macaron. Just like the gem drinks, there are nine different flavors to choose from.
It is filled with plenty of buttercream and is recommended for those who love sweet things!
You can choose from two types: an "experience type" where you decorate the gold leaf and jewel jelly yourself, or a "finished product" type.
I tried the "experience-based" version and it was a lot of fun being able to customize it to my liking.
Witch's Jewel Apple
This is the "Witch's Jewel Apple" (1,500 yen), available only in winter. A whole homemade apple compote is served on a plate.
Pour the accompanying purple caramel sauce over the apples...
It looks just like the poisoned apple that the witch gives to Cinderella!
When I cut it open with a knife, I found the pudding inside the compote. The apples had a nice crunchy texture and the cinnamon added a nice kick to it.
What's more, it tastes even more delicious when eaten with tea crumble cookies!
Please check Instagram for the sales period.
Birthday plates of such high quality you wouldn't believe they were free
It's the perfect place to celebrate your favorite idol's birthday! Don't miss out on the "Birthday Plate" that they also have available, where you can have your favorite illustration drawn on it.
And it's free!
However, reservations must be made at least three days in advance (one week in advance during peak seasons), excluding the day of your visit. There are conditions such as the number of drinks and food orders, so be sure to check the highlights on their official Instagram before making a reservation.
Of course, you can also order for other purposes besides oshikatsu.
