Retro, deep and interesting!
Futa went to Nishijin shopping street which is full of warm and friendly people. [Part 2]

Let's take a walk around the shopping street this time. When you go straight along the main "Nishijin Chuo Shopping Street" you will find other small shopping streets such as "Hatoya Shindo Shopping Street" and "Hatoya Street Shopping Street." Then, the main street from the intersection of Nishijin 5-chome changes to one called "Nakanishi shopping street." If you enter into a path from there, you will be in a shopping street where you feel can feel a good olden days.

Well, let's turn this corner.

Turned a corner and found a light blue cute shop just ahead! "Hanauta Zakka shop" !

Futa , let's drop in ♪

Wow! Cute outside, but cute inside too! It's full of colorful sundries. "Hanauta Zakka shop" is a shop full of handmade original children's clothes and miscellaneous goods. Children's clothing is made in a room at the back.

Furthermore, This is not only a general store. Next to the shop there is "Olympia cake shop", you can also eat it on the second floor, which is a "Café space Olympia" It's perfect when you want to feel like having a coffee time.

First of all, we buy sweets at the "Olympia cake shop" and go to the second floor. Every cakes are cute!!! Since it was in June when we visited there, they were selling "Ajisai tart." Blue jelly glitters and is very beautiful & cute & delicious!! You can enjoy the tarts which change according to each season.

Selected a cake and went upstairs. We found a cute space. Girls can not miss it out!

How cute!

This cafe is a fun space that is full of interesting things, wherever you look, you find something interesting, such as tables, chairs, and decorated toys.

They also sell baked sweets such as cookies.

In the meantime, the desserts we ordered came!

Futa , can you still eat? ?

I ordered a pistachio shortcake and a green soda. There are also raspberry-flavored red soda and lemon-flavored blue soda. This pistachio shortcake, the rich pistachio cream is irresistibly delicious~! It's just the right amount of sweetness, so even if you're full, you'll probably be able to eat just one. (Unfortunately, it was half eaten by Futa...)

Futa is going to drink my green soda, too. I don't know you get fat! !!

On the way home, we found delicious bakeries and taverns. If you have time, it is a lovely shopping street that you can enjoy by walking around.

Are you sure? Well the, the last thing we decided to do was to go to "Mucchan Manju Nishijin store"

Famous as Fukuoka's new Soul Food "Mucchan Manju". There are not only standard manju such as with "Black bean paste" and "Custard" but also special ones such as "Tonton" with stewed diced pork and "Sausage" with simmered pork sausage. The most popular one is this "Ham and egg" !

It is a very popular item with ham, cabbage, mayonnaise, and a whole egg inside. Ham and eggs are 240 yen each. Soft-boiled eggs, mayonnaise, and ham... It's a taste that will become a habit. If you come to Fukuoka for sightseeing, please try it once.

That's right (laughs)!

It's about 1.5km long. We enjoyed the Nishishin Shopping Street a lot while turning off to the side roads and entering the allies. Of course you can find delicious meals and sweets, but above all the people in stores are kind and warm. This may be the reason why Nishishin Shopping Street is so popular.

From Nishijin shopping street, across Meiji street and you will find a bus stop "Nishijin Palace Mae" on the other side of the road. It is convenient because the bus runs every 10 minutes!

Like Futa, if you stop at various shops, you will even forget about going back home ... Such a fascinating shopping street. This time we only talked about gourmet foods due to Futa's request (?), But there are other shops in various genres, so please come and visit when you coming to Fukuoka Tower .
