Plenty of fruit♡ "Two popular Kitakyushu restaurants collaborate" A luxurious menu only available here and now (Uomachi, Kokurakita Ward)

Hello. I'm ayu.latte, a writer who loves fruit.

We would like to introduce you to a collaboration menu offered at a very popular dining bar in Kokurakita Ward, Kitakyushu City, in collaboration with a very popular fruit store that is so well-known in Kitakyushu that it is no exaggeration to say that everyone there knows about it.

"Giraffe Monochrome" is a large dining bar with 102 seats in total, from the counter to private rooms (Uomachi, Kokurakita Ward, Kitakyushu City)

Giraffe Monochrome is located about a 5-minute walk from the Kokura Castle Exit (South Exit) of JR Kokura Station. Look for this giraffe.

Once you go up the stairs and enter the restaurant, you will see a spacious dining space on your left, lined with sofa seats and tables with chairs.

On the right, there is an atmospheric counter and private rooms, making it a perfect space for a date.

This year, we are collaborating with the popular Kitakyushu fruit parlor "Fruit factory Mooon"! The fair "Summer Fruits Festival" is now being held!

This is a collaboration menu with Fruit Factory Mooon, a popular fruit parlour with five locations in Kitakyushu City, which was a big hit last year. This year, a collaboration fair called Summer Fruits Festival will be held from August 11 to October 1, 2023, offering a menu full of fruit (serving hours: 11:30-23:00).

The menu lineup includes five varieties of "Burrata Cheese Fruit Salad," which combines carefully selected fruits with cheese that pairs perfectly with them.

This time, I tried three types that caught my eye.

"Chewy on the outside, melty on the inside" burrata cheese x a luxurious salad with plenty of fruit

This is the "Seasonal Salad of Ripe Peach and Pink Grape" (2,310 yen).

A fruit salad lavishly presented with sweet ripe peaches, juicy pink grapefruit, and Muscat grapes, drizzled with olive oil.

The sweet peach and the tart pink grapefruit go perfectly together, and the popping texture of the muscat grapes adds a fun, refreshing touch.

This is "fig and Chestnut Pork Prosciutto Salad" (2,640 yen).

A combination of figs, which are in fig from August to October, and rare prosciutto made from pork raised on chestnuts.

Sweet, soft, ripe fig and thick, moderately salted prosciutto. A simple yet luxurious taste!　 This is also drizzled with olive oil.

This is "Orange and Smoked Salmon Marinade" (2,310 yen).

A fruit salad made with very sweet marinated oranges, smoked salmon, and sliced carrots.

The salty flavor of the smoked salmon instantly adds texture to the meal.

The accompanying pineapple pulp sauce not only looks gorgeous, but also adds a slight sourness that makes it even more delicious.

Also, every fruit salad has a dollop of "burrata cheese" in the center.

It is a fresh type of cheese made by stretching well-stretched mozzarella cheese into a bag shape and then putting shredded mozzarella cheese and fresh cream inside. Just thinking about it makes your mouth water...!

When you put a knife into the soft cheese, the mozzarella cheese and cream trapped inside will flow out. It's the best moment♡

It has a rich, creamy taste like butter and goes perfectly with any fruit.

There are seven kinds of fruit sours! It's hard to decide which one to choose ♡

You can also enjoy "Fruit Sour" (1,012 yen to 1,122 yen), made with a luxurious selection of carefully selected fruits, until October 1st. I'm happy that they also offer non-alcoholic versions ♡

This time, we chose these three types from the seven available.

This is the "Lime x Pineapple" (1,012 yen), which has a beautiful contrast between blue and yellow.

A citrus blue sour with lime slices and plenty of frozen pineapple!

This is "Orange x Melon" (1,122 yen).

Orange sour, orange slices, and frozen melon!

This is "Lemon x Strawberry" (1,056 yen).

Image: ayu.latte

Sweet and sour strawberry sour, topped with slices of lemon and a heap of frozen strawberries.

All of the sours had the crunchy texture of frozen fruit, which helped cool me down from the inside!
