A new product from a popular Fukuoka donut shop expanding into the Kanto region! Shaved ice with two luxurious mango flavors and donut sauce (Chuo-ku, Fukuoka)
Hello. I'm ayu.latte, a writer who loves sweets.
This time, we will introduce the limited-time menu of a popular donut specialty store from Fukuoka that will be expanding into the Kanto region this summer.
"ROOTH" is a popular donut specialty store from Omuta, Fukuoka.
ROOTH is a specialty store that sells 5cm diameter donuts with colorful coatings.
Currently, there are three stores in Fukuoka Prefecture, including the flagship store "ROOTH2-3-3" in Omuta City, "by ROOTH" in Uomachi, Kokurakita Ward, Kitakyushu City, and "ROOTH FUKUOKA" in Daimyo, Chuo Ward, Fukuoka City. There is also one store, "ROOTH SAGA" in Miyaki District, Saga Prefecture, for a total of four stores in Kyushu. And this August, they are expanding into the Kanto region! The fifth store is scheduled to open in the Makuhari New City area of Chiba City, making this a popular store.
Check out the limited-time interior decorations! "ROOTH FUKUOKA" in Daimyo, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City
This time, we visited "ROOTH FUKUOKA," a store located in Daimyo, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka city.
In addition to takeaway, you can also eat in the eat-in space inside the store.
The interior of the store is designed to resemble an art museum. I've been there several times since it opened in March 2022, but it seems like my impression has changed somehow.
The photo above was taken this time, and the photo below was taken on a previous visit. Can you see the difference?
In fact, the walls inside the store are made of "2D art"! It's a strange sensation, like a 3D photo in a 2D frame.
On another wall, silhouettes of girls and picture frames are painted, and the image is completed when customers and sweets are added.
Let's toast with donuts,
You can have fun taking pictures in a variety of ways, such as putting it in a picture frame.
Another wall (facing you as you enter the store) is decorated with New York-inspired art, which is also very stylish!
It feels like you've jumped into the world of manga. At this stage, the 2D art is scheduled to be available until the end of September 2023. If it's well-received, it may be extended!
Mango appears in "ROOTH SEASONAL", which uses seasonal fruits!
In addition to the standard menu, ROOTH is also popular for its seasonal series "ROOTH SEASONAL," which uses seasonal fruits. Currently, mango is available (scheduled to be available until August 7th).
The mangoes used are from Okinawa Mango Farm Mangolan, which has twice won the Excellence Award at the Okinawa Mango Contest hosted by Okinawa Prefecture. Let me introduce them to you right away.
"KING" (600 yen) is an exquisite combination of sweet mango, pineapple, banana, the moderate acidity of coconut, and a refreshing lime sauce for an added accent.
If you add the 100% mango "mango dropper" that comes with the donut, it will have an even more tropical feel and make you feel even more like summer♡
"QUEEN" (650 yen) is a gorgeous treat with mangoes decorated in the shape of roses!
The mango sauce that comes with it is an original combination of fresh cream and white chocolate, with a rich, milky sweetness that is irresistible.
By the way, the two varieties of Mango's "ROOTH SEASONAL" are also sold in "ROOTH2-3-3" and "ROOTH SAGA."
Summer only! "Cool sweets" using donut coating sauce
In addition, the "cool summer sweets" that were very popular last year, "ROOTH ORIGINAL Shaved Ice" (450 yen each), will be available again this year! It will be available for a limited time until the end of September (planned).
The ice is not covered in syrup, but in donut coating sauce. It's cute when placed next to other donuts of the same flavor.
This is the cute, vivid ruby-colored "Devil's Raspberry." The sweet and sour, rich flavor of raspberry is accented with fruity kirsch (a type of cherry brandy). This shaved ice has an addictive taste.
*It has a nice scent, but the alcohol has evaporated.
This is "Hibiscus & Rose." It has a subtle sweetness and a refined taste. You can enjoy the refreshing scent of hibiscus and noble rose.
This gently colored "R Royal Milk Tea" was my favorite of all the ones I tried ♡ The harmony of the rich flavor of the royal milk tea and the relaxing scent of bergamot is irresistible!
Currently, you can enjoy a total of five flavors, including "Berry Berry Cassis" and "Mango & Passion."
