This year marks the 70th anniversary of Daimaru Fukuoka Tenjin store.

As if to recall the original intention of the company's founding in Fukuoka, the store is returning to its roots with a focus on "art," the origin of confectionery. A wide selection of artistic Christmas cakes made with the skill of pastry chefs are lined up.

Artistic "ART cake"

These artworks are collaborations between popular stores in Fukuoka and Daimaru. They are gorgeous and perfect for brightening up a special day.

Kyushu Deep Discovery Presents Collaborative Cakes Made with Kyushu Ingredients

This collaborative cake was born as part of the "Daimaru Fukuoka Tenjin Store's" project "Discover Kyushu's Deepest Depth," which aims to uncover the unknown charms of the entire Kyushu region.

This dish was created by Chef Yoshimura Rui of Patisserie Louis using rare domestic coffee from Sakae Farm on Amami Oshima.

5. "Pâtisserie Louis" Semeur - The Sower (approx. 15 cm, 5,940 yen)

Image: Daimaru Fukuoka Tenjin store

This collaborative project commemorates two important years: 70 years since the Amami Islands were reverted to Japan by the United States, and the 70th anniversary of Hakata Daimaru's founding.

Yoshimura Rui was so impressed by a comment made by Sakae of Sakae Farm, "We are the ones who sow the seeds," that he decided to name the product after it.

This cake is made with two types of coffee cream and apple bananas and peach bananas, which are grown together with coffee.

Apparently the two types of bananas are cooked in different ways, so you can enjoy a variety of textures in things like pies!

You can fully enjoy the charm of "Amami Coffee".
