Opening July 1, 2024! "Kooriya Takara Daimyo Store" (Daimyo, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City)

"Kooriya Takara" is a shaved ice specialty shop that is only open during the summer and lunch hours at the izakaya "Washoku to Sake Robata Aoki (formerly Aoki's Second Floor Meat Dishes and Broth Takara)" located about a 5-minute walk from JR Kokura Station.

They offer a variety of striking shaved ice made with seasonal fruits, and are very popular every year.

Now "Kooriya Takara" has appeared in Fukuoka city!

It is about a 5-minute walk from Nishitetsu Fukuoka (Tenjin) Station, and is located inside the izakaya restaurant "Tsuchi wo Kū Yakitori Aoki" near "MUJI Tenjin Daimyo" on July 1, 2024. It is open only during the summer (scheduled to be open until the end of August in 2024) from 11:00 to 16:00.

As a fan of "Kooriya Takara," I'm happy that people in Fukuoka city can enjoy this flavor!

The shop has an open kitchen at the counter, so you can see how the shaved ice is made up close.

New products have also been released! A taste review of four exquisite shaved ice varieties packed with special care

The defining feature of Kooriya Takara's shaved ice is its rich and flavorful "milk ice."

Takara, the manager of the Kokura main store, ordered over 30 types of milk from all over the country and made numerous prototypes before creating this drink.

You'll be amazed by the texture as it gently melts in your mouth.

This year, you can enjoy four different flavors based on this "milk ice" flavor.

The long-awaited new product! "Nitabal Bee Farm Honeycomb and Greek Yogurt Shaved Ice"

I've been looking forward to this year's new product, "Nitabara Bee Farm Honeycomb and Greek Yogurt Shaved Ice" (2,380 yen). It's available in limited quantities.

Image: CHIHIRO

The hugely popular "Greek Yogurt" is made from carefully selected Kagoshima yogurt with just the right amount of acidity, which is strained and finished to give it a smooth texture.

It is paired with honey and honeycomb from the Nitabara Bee Farm in Kurume City. This 100% pure domestic honey contains no food additives and has a gentle sweetness and rich flavor that is irresistible.

I was also impressed by what he said about how particular he is about the beekeeping environment.

Beneath the yogurt is a generous amount of bananas, strawberries, mangoes, blueberries, and golden kiwis! The granola is homemade.

It's fun to see the taste and texture change right up to the last bite! It was refreshing and so delicious that I could eat as much as I wanted.

The impressive "whole white peach shaved ice"

The "Whole White Peach Shaved Ice" (2,100 yen) is very popular every year.

The white peaches used are carefully selected from various regions depending on the season, mainly from Yamanashi Prefecture, and are fully ripe. They are soaked in homemade syrup for a day to bring out the maximum sweetness of the peaches.

It was surrounded by a generous amount of homemade cream made from fresh cream and condensed milk! There was even cream inside the peaches.

Served separately is a homemade sauce containing white peach pulp.

I was able to fully enjoy the deliciousness of seasonal white peaches!

Rich and delicious "Mango shaved ice with plenty of fruit pulp"

The "Mango Shaved Ice with Plenty of Fruit Pulp" (2,780 yen) is a luxurious dish made with half a ripe mango from Miyazaki Prefecture.

The rich flesh of a fully ripe mango has an irresistible melt-in-your-mouth texture.

It goes great with homemade cream or milk ice.

Top it off with our homemade mango puree sauce for an even richer flavor!

"Japanese Ice" with three different flavors

The standard menu item "Wa-gori" (1,580 yen) allows you to choose up to three flavors from among "black sesame, kinako, roasted green tea, and matcha."

The photo shows matcha, soybean flour, and black sesame.

The matcha is from Hoshino Tea Farm in Hoshino Village, Yame City, the soybean flour is Tanba black bean kinako, and the roasted green tea is lightly roasted over charcoal.

It has a sophisticated Japanese flavor and pairs perfectly with milk ice.

It is served with a sweet black sugar syrup, which makes it even more delicious when poured over the top.

Another nice thing about "Wa-kori" is that it comes with a set of zenzai and kuzu mochi (with red bean paste). The kuzu mochi is made fresh every morning.

Image: CHIHIRO

Personally, I look forward to this zenzai every year. The fragrant, freshly baked mochi is irresistible.

Image: CHIHIRO

By the way, the rice cakes used at the Kokura main store are from Iwataya Mochi Confectionery Store in Danga Market, while the Daimyo store uses ones carefully selected by the store manager in Fukuoka City.

The gorgeousness of the shaved ice itself will catch your eye, but be sure to also pay attention to the beautiful board underneath the plate. Apparently each one is handmade using washi paper!

Like the Daimyo store, the Kokura main store will start its business for the 2024 fiscal year from July 1st (scheduled to be open until the end of August).

It's really delicious, so please come and try it. (Text by CHIHIRO)
