ICHIRO-san often comes to visit Dazaifu Tenmangu Shrine, and Kamado Shrine, with its wonderful gift shop designed by Masamichi Katayama of Wonderwall, is bustling with people every day as the god of marriage. Dazaifu also has many attractions as a city of history and culture, such as the Kyushu National Museum, and is a place we hope you will take your time to explore.

Fukuoka is known for its food, but I also feel like there are a lot of people who are particular about things (this is just my own impression). And there are also a lot of creative people who are attracted to Fukuoka, so why not take a tour of the shops that are unique to Fukuoka and that you can't find in Tokyo?

Itoshima City, located next to Fukuoka City, is an attractive place with both sea and mountains, and has become popular among young people in recent years. Among them, Mataichi no Shio pumps up seawater from the place where the inland sea of the Genkai Sea and the open sea collide, mixing the rich minerals of the mountains and sea, and makes salt.
It's recommended both for sightseeing and for food, and the salt pudding you eat while feeling the bounty of nature on your skin is just...

Hakata's motsunabe is full of garlic, and you might imagine it stinking on your clothes and body, but the motsunabe here is made in a light style with chicken broth and the ingredients dipped in vinegar and soy sauce. The final dish, champon, mixed with ground sesame, is excellent.

Suzukake is a long-established Japanese confectionery store in Hakata. The store's main café offers a variety of Japanese sweets, including lunches and parfaits, making it a place that can be enjoyed by people of all ages and genders.
Personally, Baba's favorites are the butter-grilled kasutera (served with caramel ice cream and roasted green tea) and the seasonal strawberry daifuku.

I've always thought it was a bit expensive, but I recommend the Tai Chazuke, which you can eat for 1,000 yen at lunchtime. It's called ochazuke, but it's still ochazuke! It's a traditional Japanese restaurant, so it's definitely a must-try dish if you come to Fukuoka. Of course, if you have some extra cash in your wallet, you can also have it for dinner.
