An especially luxurious menu for a limited time only! A new menu from a popular afternoon tea shop with a luxurious view (Haruyoshi, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka)

Hello. This is Chihi Log, a casual website that provides information about Fukuoka, with a focus on gourmet food.

This time, I heard that my favorite afternoon tea specialty store had opened a seasonal stand featuring Shine Muscat grapes and peaches, so I headed over right away!

Shine Muscat and peach afternoon tea available for a limited time only! "QUON RIVER TERRACE" (Haruyoshi, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka)

QUON RIVER TERRACE is located about a 7-minute walk from Nakasu-Kawabata Station on the Subway Kuko Line or Hakozaki Line, next to Haruyoshi Bridge over the Naka River.

A rewarding space to relax on the riverside while watching the gentle flow of the river and the cityscape of Fukuoka.

Although the shop mainly serves afternoon tea, they also have a wide selection of meals and sweets on the menu.

Limited time only! Shine Muscat and Peach "Premium W Afternoon Tea"

"Shine Muscat and Peach Premium W Afternoon Tea" will be available from July 5, 2023 (7,000 yen per person, 90 minutes free flow system). *Available until October 1, 2023 (planned)

This menu is even more luxurious than the regular "Premium W Afternoon Tea," and is made with plenty of seasonal Shine Muscat grapes and peaches.

With the 90-minute free flow, you can enjoy drinks such as original blend coffee, black tea from Hanamizuki, herbal tea from Yame's Nakamura-en, and Japanese tea.

By the way, "QUON RIVER TERRACE" adds Japanese elements to afternoon tea, a British culture, and offers a stand that combines Japanese and Western styles, hence the name "WAfternoon Tea."
Now, let me introduce you to the details.

Special Drinks

The limited edition stand comes with a special drink made by the pastry chef: Shine Muscat and Lime Jelly Tonic.

It's filled with plenty of Shine Muscat pulp and lime jelly, and the fresh taste and changing textures are fun to enjoy!

Scone sandwich

What I always look forward to at this shop's afternoon tea are the original scone sandwiches.

This time, the dish is "Shine Muscat and Pistachio Scone Sandwich."

The large Shine Muscat grapes sandwiched between the scones and the mild-tasting cream are a perfect combination!

I was also thrilled by its cute looks!

The top shelf is mainly filled with Shine Muscat sweets.

On the top row of the stand, clockwise from the top left, there are sweets that primarily use Shine Muscat, such as "Shine Muscat Butter Sandwich," "Shine Muscat and Houjicha Cream Sandwich," "Tonka Bean Cream Daifuku," and "Fromage Blanc Mousse."

Among them, the "Tonka Bean Cream Daifuku Style" is an impressive dish that combines fresh Shine Muscat grapes, sparkling jelly, tonka bean cream, and chewy daifuku, with a fun variety of tastes and textures.

There are drops of water on the leaves that come with it, which adds a cute and playful touch.

The middle shelf is mainly peach sweets.

The middle shelf, clockwise from the top left, features sweets that mainly use peaches: "Lychee, Peach, Rhubarb Jelly," "Peach Rare Cheesecake," "Peach, Red Shiso, and Basil Verrine," and "Peach and Vanilla Macaroons."

One of the most recommended dishes is the "Peach, Red Shiso, and Basil Verrine."

Peaches, red shiso, and basil go perfectly together! You can enjoy the refreshing taste.

The bottom tier is savory, made with Shine Muscat and peaches.

On the bottom row, clockwise from the top left, there are dishes lined up: Shine Muscat and Fig Shiraae (Shiro-ae Dressing), Hisayama Yayoi Pork Cutlet Sandwich, Shine Muscat, Tuna and Yuzu Pepper Bruschetta, and Cold Peach, Tomato and Shiso Pasta.

All of the savory dishes made with fresh fruit were refreshing and perfect for the hot summer months.

Assiette dessert

The after-meal assiette dessert is "Peach and almond panna cotta with pech melba".

The freshness of the peaches and the almond flavor of the panna cotta made for a cool, refreshing dish. It was the perfect finale!
