It’s time for some hot summer fun! Use our guide to summer in Fukuoka to find 22 fireworks displays, 11 beer gardens, 19 beaches and 12 kakigori (shaved ice) joints! Speaking of kakigori, this month we highlight Oishi Koriya, a gourmet kakigori shop that uses very slowly frozen ice. Is the heat making you sluggish? Pep up at the achingly hip Écru with coffee and cake (or chill with a glass of wine). If you’re in the mood for something light but filling, try chicken meatballs (fried or steamed) at Tsukune Seisakusho - aromatic and delicious! Want to try black ramen? You can’t do better than Wakatake; they spent six years perfecting their ma-yu (black roasted garlic oil) and make fresh broth each day. We’ve also got your guide to the hottest events this summer.
