#FukuokaItinerary "Drink tea when you have free time", the Yorozu teahouse I encountered in Sakai City, Fukuoka, is directly enshrined in the world! It is no exaggeration to say that this was the biggest surprise I had in Fukuoka. As soon as I opened the door of the tea room, the elegant fragrance of tea wafted in, instantly calming the restlessness in my heart. The interior decoration is in a strong Japanese Zen style, with wooden tables and chairs set off by soft lighting. The calligraphy and paintings hanging on the wall and the flower arrangements in the corner complement each other, exuding an elegant atmosphere everywhere. Every detail has been done to perfection, making it a natural location for taking photos. Whether it is portraits or objects, every photo exudes a strong Japanese atmosphere. The tea room has a rich tea menu, ranging from classic green tea and oolong tea to various special teas. I ordered a cup of matcha. The tea master used his superb skills to beat the matcha into a dense foam. The first sip was a rich tea aroma, followed by a slight sweetness. The taste was unforgettable. The accompanying Japanese sweets are as exquisite as works of art, and every bite is filled with a delicate and soft taste that complements the taste of tea. Moreover, the service here is also very thoughtful. Even if I didn't make a reservation in advance, I could easily get a seat if I walked in during weekdays. Here, time slows down, and you can feel the leisure and freedom of Fukuoka at every moment. Next time I come to Fukuoka, I will definitely come here again to savor this rare and beautiful time. #Fukuoka #FukuokaTeahouse #DrinkingTeaInFukuoka
