This is truly art! The first latte art specialty store in Kyushu, run by a professional who has been the number one in Japan four times

Hello♪ I'm chippachapus and I love going to cafes.

This time, we will introduce a latte art specialty store that opened in Daimyo, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City on April 3, 2025!

The second store of the popular latte art specialty store in Tokyo! "LATTE ART MANIA Fukuoka" (Daimyo, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City)

"LATTE ART MANIA Fukuoka" is located a 2-minute walk from Akasaka Station on the Fukuoka City Subway Kuko Line.

This shop is run by Kenken Baba, a latte art professional who has won the national championships four times in Japan, including the FBC Latteart Championship 2018, the Japan Cafe Latte Art Championship 2018, the JAPAN MATCHA LATTEART COMPETITION 2020, and the Symmetrical Latte Art Championship 2021. This is his second shop after the one in Tokyo.

The interior of the store is mainly black with the addition of wood, creating an inorganic yet warm space.

The interior of the store has also been kept simple so that the latte art provided by the baristas can really stand out.

It's an open counter, so you can see latte art being made right before your eyes.

The designs are randomly drawn and include flowers, hearts, swans, etc.

There was so much artistic art that it was a shame to drink it.

Let me introduce the lattes and sweets that I actually tried.

"Artistic latte art" made with carefully selected beans and special sweets made by our patissier

From the front, these are "Black Latte" (980 yen), "Black Matcha Latte" (1,090 yen), and "Strawberry White Mousse Cake" (870 yen).

The coffee beans are roasted in-house and are the highest quality specialty coffee used.

There are several types of beans to choose from.

The "Black Latte" is made with bamboo charcoal. The taste of the bamboo charcoal is not strong, and it goes well with the coffee.

The "Black Matcha Latte" is a combination of matcha from Kyoto's popular matcha specialty store, "Hatoya Ryoyosha," and bamboo charcoal.

It has an authentic taste that really brings out the flavor of matcha. It's not too sweet, so it goes well with sweet desserts.

The sweets are original creations made by the pastry chef, and the "Strawberry White Mousse Cake" is a limited edition menu item only available at the Fukuoka store (scheduled to be on sale until early June 2025).

The smooth, melting texture was accented by the sweet and sour berry sauce and the salty and crunchy texture of the crumble at the bottom.

It was so delicious that I finished it in no time.

By the way, after the strawberry flavor is sold out, they plan to switch to cakes made with a different fruit.

Lattes and sweets made with tea leaves from matcha specialty shop "Yasohachi Ryobasha" are also available.

These are the "Matcha Latte" (890 yen) and "Matcha Terrine Affogato" (980 yen), made with tea leaves from matcha specialty store "Yasohachi Ryobasha," which are also used in the black matcha latte.

The Matcha Latte is made with freshly made matcha, which is made after an order is placed.

The richness of the matcha directly brought out its original flavor and was irresistible.

"Matcha Terrine Affogato" is a homemade matcha terrine made with plenty of tea leaves and topped with matcha sauce.

Image: chippachapus

The terrine is made with tea leaves and white chocolate, giving it a creamy sweetness. The matcha sauce on top was freshly made, and the rich matcha sauce went perfectly with the ice cream.

The lattes and sweets were all delicious.

In the future, they plan to add sofa seating inside the store and further improve it.

Please come and enjoy a cup of coffee that you can only get at this popular restaurant. (Text by chippachapus)
