Hello! This is Payke writer, yui.
Have you ever been to Fukuoka Airport?
The number of foreigners who visit Fukuoka Prefecture are gradually increasing every year.
In order to avoid the troubles of choosing a gift when visiting Fukuoka Prefecture, this time, I want to introduce you to 3 gifts that you can buy at Fukuoka Airport!

Hakata Torimon

The first item is the “Hakata Torimon”.

Among the gifts and souvenirs in Fukuoka, this one is a classic.
Now, let’s open the box and try some!

What’s illustrated on the wrappers are festival dancers called “Hakata Dontaku”.


I tried splitting it in half.
Inside is stuffed with white bean paste (shiro koshi-an).
The bread and bean paste are soft and delicious!
It’s not too sweet so its very easy to eat too.
Hakata Torimon can be purchased at the lobbies and stores inside the ticket gates at Fukuoka Airport.
This time, I introduced the set of 6 that’s 730 yen (tax included).
There are other sets of 8, sets of 12, and sets of 16 sold as well.
They last for about 1 month.

Menbei

The next item is “Menbei: Plain Flavor”.

The name “Menbei” originated from “mentaiko＋senbei” (“pollock roe＋Japanese rice cracker
Just like its name, they are Japanese rice crackers with mentaiko inside.
Now, let’s try them!

There are 3 packets inside the box.

Inside a packet, there are 2 rice crackers inside.
There’s a little bit of redness from the spicy pollock roe (karashi mentaiko).
Though the Menbei are thin, they have a nice crispy texture.
The spicy pollock roe adds a nice kick of spiciness to the snack!
You can really smell a scent of seafood too.

I tried a sample of this new cheese flavor at the airport and it was delicious, so I decided to feature it!
Now, let’s try them!


I put it out on a plate.
It’s a crescent-shaped financier!

When you open the package, you can smell a subtle scent of cheese.
The outside is a little crispy while the inside is moist.
You can really taste the sweet flavors of the butter and cheese and it’s delicious.
