“It’s not the destination, it's the journey.” True, but it's also the food! In this issue, we introduce three new sightseeing trains operating near Fukuoka. What could be better than watching the scenery flow by while dining on local delicacies and sweets? Meanwhile, there are heaps of events this month, from an art museum opening to an international rugby tournament, a Ghibli exhibition, a vintage car meet up, to a tall ship event and more! For this month’s restaurant pick, we chose Ristorante Incroci where fine Italian cuisine is served with a view of Chuo Park from a balcony. For spicy noodles, try Masamune Keisei Daireimen where noodles are made by a robot no less! Meanwhile, the tachinomiya (standing pub) boom continues, and at Odoru Niku Dango in Kego the food is surprisingly good. And for a cafe that harks back to Japan’s Showa-era check out Cafe Miel in Hakata. Lastly, in Itoshima we guide you to Keya no Oto boat tours and Bench & Mug for yummy and healthy cakes. Dig in!
