### Featured Menu
- **Amaou Strawberry with Fresh Berries (2,500 JPY incl. tax)** This dish uses a rich confiture and generous amounts of pulp from Itoshima-grown Amaou strawberries, a renowned Fukuoka brand. It is served with sliced fresh strawberries and optional condensed milk. Note: Amaou strawberries are available until the end of May, followed by seasonal flavors like Yuzu or Coffee.
- **Matcha Kinmotsu with Yame Premium Matcha & Warabimochi (2,500 JPY incl. tax)** Featuring 100% first-harvest tea from Yame’s Hoshino Tea Garden, the matcha is whisked right in front of the customer to ensure peak aroma and texture.
