Fukuoka’s specialty-coffee standard-bearer, in the Tenjinminami neighborhood. Rec roasts with precision and pours with care — the kind of cafe where the flat white arrives exactly as it should. A necessary reset between Fukuoka’s food adventures.

Fukuoka is surprisingly big. It has its own style of food stalls too. But the airport is super close to the city and the bullet train takes you very close.
Just watch the DIRT video and you’ll be convinced to spend your whole vacation there.
