The soy latte is popular for its rich soy milk flavor, while staying easy to drink without the distinctive beany off notes that soy can have.
It also has a great balance with the deep coffee, and is said to go down smoothly with a gentle aftertaste.

When you want a little snack, the Tonyu An Donut (soy milk red bean paste donut) is recommended.
It is served freshly fried, and this great treat has an irresistible texture that is crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside. The soy milk flavor and the sweetness of the anko (red bean paste) are said to go perfectly together, making it delicious.

・Matcha soy latte
I really liked how the bitterness and aroma of the matcha (green tea) came through clearly, followed by the mellow richness of the soy. I think this would really hit the spot for people who do not like sweet drinks.

They are the best sweets, just a little less guilt-inducing, gentle on the body, and so good‼️ This is a recommended spot where you can enjoy an elegant time on the riverside terrace with tofu sweets and lattes‼️

The restaurant’s signature dish is the “ricotta pancakes,” said to be so good they impress you no matter how many times you eat them.
They pair well with the fresh butter and honeycomb butter served on the side, and while they have a light texture, they are also quite filling and satisfying.

The Breakfast plate "Full Aussie Breakfast" is also very popular.
The buttery scrambled eggs have a soft and creamy texture. The assortment of chorizo, bacon, and mushrooms is all said to be delicious.
The signature menu item, "ricotta pancakes," has a one of a kind fluffy texture that feels amazing no matter how many times you eat it. The honeycomb butter on the side melts right in, and it goes perfectly with the fresh banana!

Close to Nakasu-Kawabata Station, it had an open, airy space facing the waterfront, and both the indoor area and terrace seating had a relaxed atmosphere that made it easy to unwind. Since it is a shop from Sydney, it offers a lineup of brunch-friendly dishes including pancakes, so it looks like a great place to enjoy either a meal or a cafe visit.

Since it was strawberry season, we had a strawberry-filled afternoon tea. It was fun to look at, tasted great, and came with plenty of food. Coffee and tea are All you can drink, so we ordered different ones to match each sweet and enjoyed it the whole time without getting bored.

This time, I reserved the seasonal parfait. It was a single dish made with many ingredients, including chestnuts, sweet potatoes, and hazelnuts, but once I took a bite, they came together in a surprisingly perfect harmony and tasted great.

The building faces the Nakagawa (Naka River), and on nice days the terrace seating feels especially pleasant. Since it is a little away from Tenjin, it does not get too crowded, so you can spend a relaxing time here. It is the kind of place that makes you want to stay a while longer.

This time, I ordered the "hand-kneaded Hamburger Steak." It looked nicely plump and thick, and when I cut into it with a knife, the juices just poured out! It was packed with rich meaty flavor, and the sauce matched it perfectly. Even though it was filling, it didn’t feel heavy at all, and I finished it with no trouble. This one is really high on Manzoku!

The French toast came topped with so much fruit that one person could hardly finish it, and the parfait piled high with oversized strawberries looked gorgeous. Both were not just eye-catching, but also delicious. It was also nice to be able to relax on the terrace and take in the atmosphere of Kego Jinja (Kego Shrine).

The "ricotta cheese pancakes" come recommended for dessert after a meal or for a café stop. This authentic Sydney-style dish uses plenty of house-made ricotta cheese.
The light texture melts in your mouth and keeps you coming back for more, and since it is not too sweet, people say it is easy to finish the whole plate.

・Manly Course
Everything was good, from first-time dishes like kangaroo and ostrich carpaccio and sauteed crocodile to familiar favorites like fish and chips and meat pie! You can’t help but feel grateful for these lives. My favorite was the ostrich carpaccio. It had a nice bite, was easy to chew through, and went down smoothly.

・Ricotta cheese pancakes
They are super soft and even a little gooey. As soon as you take a bite, they melt away in your mouth. The batter itself is not that sweet, which is great because you can adjust the sweetness yourself.

Perfect for when you want a light bite, the Itoshima roast ham croque monsieur.
Thick cut roast ham from Itoshima is sandwiched in rye bread, making this a filling dish that still does not feel heavy. It also comes with a generous serving of salad, so the nutritional balance looks good too.

The "ONE French Toast" is said to be amazingly moist inside, in contrast to its fragrant, crisp outside.
The egg mixture soaks in well, and each bite is said to spread a gentle sweetness. The tartness of the strawberry topping adds a nice accent.

It has a great view overlooking Hakata-wan (Hakata Bay). We ordered à la carte, and everything was delicious. The main pork dish was quite hearty. The potatoes served on the side were very sweet and tasty.

I stopped by for a quick drink before dinner. I started out drinking at the counter, but then felt like getting some fresh air, so I moved to the terrace. It was a midsummer day, but being on a high floor, a pleasant breeze was blowing through. Having a drink while looking out over the cityscape of Fukuoka as night fell was really nice.

・Matcha tea latte
My favorite customizations are “extra matcha powder” and “nonfat milk.” Adding more powder brings out more bitterness, and since I don’t like drinks that are too sweet, nonfat milk keeps the calories down and makes it just right.
