Today, I'm going to introduce you to some must-visit cafes in Japan that offer a unique Japanese food and atmosphere! I'll only introduce two cafes, so think about the cafe you want to visit.
Mutsukado (むつか堂) Cafe
Japanese desserts are known for being cute and dainty. What comes to mind when you think of famous Japanese desserts? Royce Chocolate, Parfait, Wagashi, etc. There's no way we can leave out "Fruits Sando (フルーツサンド)" which is popular for its beautiful and cute appearance!

Fruits Sando is a "sandwich" filled with whipped cream and fruit, so it's true that it originated in Western countries. However, "Fruits Sando" can be considered Japanese food. Surprisingly, this is a fact that is relatively unknown even in Japan. The reason why it's considered Japanese food is because Fruits Sando is said to have been first made in the early Showa era (昭和時代), around 1930. At that time, whipped cream cake was expensive and difficult to eat, so people at home made a similar version, which is what became the Fruits Sando we know today.
I would recommend Mutsukado (むつか堂) Cafewhich is famous in Fukuoka. Mutsukado means "freshly baked bread". The famous branch in Fukuoka is located in the Hakata Station Ayu Plaza. Since this place is a bread specialty store, they sell various menu items using bread.

There are various menus such as the famous Fruits Sando, An Butter Toast, and more. When you order bread or dessert, you can also order a drink and salad set to eat with it.
This place is also known for its long waiting times, so it's best to visit during less busy hours.
The second cafe I recommend is Kōhisha Noda, a cafe with a 57-year tradition, that reminds me of the movie "Patisserie Coin de Rue".
Naver Movie
Do you know the Japanese movie "Patisserie Coin de Rue" released in 2011? It's a famous movie starring Yuu Aoi, a famous actress in Korea. It's a story about Natsume, the protagonist who comes from the countryside to Tokyo and starts working at a popular pastry shop "Patisserie Coin de Rue" in Tokyo to find her boyfriend.
The cafe I'm going to introduce in Fukuoka reminds me of this movie. It's a cafe called Kōhisha Noda.

Not only the exterior of the cafe but also the desserts that come out have an atmosphere that makes you think of this movie.
Kōhisha Noda is one of the famous Fukuoka Kissaten (喫茶店, teahouse or cafe) that has been running for 57 years since it opened in 1966. It is famous for its siphon coffee. Siphon is one of the coffee brewing methods. As you can see in the photo, water is sucked up when pressure builds up in the lower glass container, which wets the coffee grounds and extracts the coffee.
It is a place suitable for enjoying Japanese style dark roast (strong roasted) coffee in a classic space where you can feel the passage of time. When you enter, you will notice the signature horseshoe-shaped counter table, so if possible, I recommend sitting there. You can see how they carefully make coffee in a row. Especially, this place gives you a more Japanese atmosphere than regular tables. The menu is full of coffee menus made with directly roasted beans, and one special thing is that if you order hot coffee, cream comes with it. Kōhisha Noda is also famous for its firm pudding, so you should try it (the pudding is in the picture above). It is not too sweet and goes well with coffee. Also, they offer a Korean menu, so you can easily choose your menu.
