On the 4th day of September 27, 2022, during my trip back to Yamaguchi and Fukuoka, I arrived at Fukuoka Airport way too early, with over 3 hours to kill before boarding my return flight on JAL. I spent my time leisurely wandering around the 1st and 2nd floors of the domestic terminal building, searching for souvenirs, sitting in the waiting area to organize my travel photos. Still having time left, I decided to stop by "Made in Pierre Herme Fukuoka Airport Store" on the 3rd floor. The store is located in a less noticeable position at the back of the atrium, with low awareness as it opened in April 2021. Known as the "Picasso of Pastry," Pierre Herme from France collaborates with excellent producers from various regions in Japan to sell food products under the brand "Made in Pierre Herme." While the main focus is on selling Western confectionery like macarons, there was an eat-in corner available. I decided to get a limited edition airport-exclusive set of 3 macarons as a souvenir for a friend before taking a break and enjoying some light drinks. Items purchased: - Macaron Airport Limited Edition Set of 3: 1566 yen - Orange Meringue: 330 yen - Chura WATTA: 495 yen - Botanical Pine Chu-Hi I chose the "Orange Meringue" and "Chura WATTA" to indulge in while enjoying a drink in a nearly private setting overlooking the atrium of the store. The "Orange Meringue" is a Halloween-colored confection combining macaron and meringue, which was cute, crispy, with a moderate sweetness, and very delicious. The "Chura WATTA" is a 250ml canned Botanical Pine Chu-Hi created in collaboration with Orion Beer, launched nationwide in January 2022. It features Okinawa-produced pineapple juice and lemongrass-derived extract, offering a tropical flavor with the gentle acidity of pineapple and the refreshing taste of lemongrass. After leisurely passing the time, I made my way down to the 2nd floor of the terminal building, headed to the security checkpoint, and arrived at Itami Airport before 5 pm on JAL. And with that, my trip to Yamaguchi and Fukuoka has come to an end. Thank you for following along on my journey. Bon appétit! (●^o^●)

It's time to pick up someone at Fukuoka Airport. After a successful meeting, I stopped by "Pierre Hermé" as a souvenir for the destination. It's a high-end confectionery shop mentioned in MyRebi's review. I knew the location but the sweets are too luxurious for myself. I decided to make a purchase as I probably won't do it otherwise. (laughs) The shop is located on the 3rd floor of the Fukuoka Airport Domestic Terminal. It's 2:30 PM. Perhaps waiting for a delayed departure? A few customers are elegantly enjoying themselves in the dining area. I was concerned about the parking fee and looked at the showcase. (laughs) I chose macarons. Intrigued by the words "Fukuoka Airport Limited," I bought a box of 6 pieces (3,078 yen, tax included). When ordering, the staff explained each macaron and even placed a cooling pack inside the box for me, showing appropriate customer service for a high-end store. I will share the purchased items one by one at the destination. The one I had was pistachio. Some members took a bite in one go, but I savored it by nibbling on it in small pieces due to its preciousness. The outer layer of the macaron is more moist than crispy, with a gentle texture. The inside is gooey. Since I haven't had many macarons for comparison, it's hard to describe. (laughs) Priced at 500 yen each, it was delicious as expected for me. Considering the cost-performance, a comprehensive rating of around 3 stars seems appropriate. (If there was a "taste" rating, it would be 3.4 stars) I wish I could afford to not worry about parking fees and just take a bite like that. Thank you for the meal.

I arrived at Fukuoka Airport early, so I used the time before boarding the plane to explore and stop by a cafe. I always stop by this cafe because the seating is spacious and comfortable. This time, I purchased an iced coffee and a limited edition Setouchi lemon macaron. The iced coffee was refreshing and delicious.

Located on the 3rd floor of Fukuoka Airport Domestic Terminal, "Made in Pierre Herme Fukuoka Airport" opened in April of Reiwa 3 as the first permanent store outside of Tokyo. "Made in Pierre Herme" is a shop where the world-renowned pastry master, Frenchman Pierre Herme, selects and shares "wonderful things in Japan" with the world, focusing on food. Not only for those boarding a plane, but anyone can stop by! I rarely visit the airport, so when passing by the airport by car on the way to work, I took the opportunity to park in the airport parking lot and stopped by this shop. I had an "orange juice" and took a break in the eat-in corner. The rich and fresh "orange juice" with a freshly squeezed feeling refreshed my mood! With Pierre Herme's signature pastry "macaron" included, it was a good deal at 600 yen. I spent a rich time watching the crowd of people who have revived beyond the pandemic from the eat-in corner overlooking the open space downstairs. I was very satisfied. I liked the comfortable space. I will visit again. Thank you for the meal. Made in Pierre Herme Fukuoka Airport 767-1 Shimousui, Hakata-ku, Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Airport Domestic Terminal Building 3rd Floor Phone: 092-260-9975 Business Hours: 9:00-20:00

The Pierre Herme in Tokyo is quite crowded, but the one at Fukuoka Airport is almost empty, like a private reservation! The cafe latte is a bit strong, but the soft serve ice cream is rich and delicious! The meringue macarons are also tasty and crispy! I will definitely go back! ♡

I had a soft serve ice cream with Pierre Hermé meringue and chocolate, topped with pistachios. The interior of the shop is stylish with a focus on white decor. There is even a white-painted cart displayed inside (which doubles as a stand for selling eco-friendly bags). In addition to macarons, they also sell bread and muffins. They offer bottled pickles and dressings that can be great gifts due to their stylish packaging. For more details, you can check out https://namiweb0703.com/pierre-herme-airport/.

This is my first visit. I went to Pierre Hermé at Fukuoka Airport, which I thought was not available in Fukuoka before. I bought a box of 10 macarons and a croissant. The store also had Bonbons Chocolat and other items available.

On the third floor of Fukuoka Airport, there is a Pierre Hermé! I was surprised to find Pierre Hermé here! This store also has a café space, which is great. I got a cold brew iced coffee, a hojicha macaron, and a pistachio meringue. The meringue with a macaron inside series of sweets are limited to around Halloween, and apparently, orange will be available. This time, I got the pistachio meringue as a souvenir. The cold brew is a refreshing and easy-to-drink coffee. The hojicha macaron has different colors on the front and back, which is fun and delicious. The way the macarons are packaged is very stylish and seems like a good souvenir, but carrying refrigerated items seems difficult, so I gave up. The seats are spacious overall, with sofa seats available, so I was able to relax until departure time. The staff also explained various limited edition items clearly, which was nice. PayPay payment is also possible.

In September 2022, a friend who visited Fukuoka gave me a gift of macarons purchased at Fukuoka Airport's "Made in Pierre Herme" line, which aims to showcase Japan's wonderful products to the world. The gift was a set of three macarons exclusive to Fukuoka Airport. The flavors included were: Chocolat Amer, Pistachio, and Rose. All of them were delicious with a great texture and rich flavors. I particularly liked the Pistachio flavor, but the Chocolat Amer and Rose were also enjoyable. Thank you for the treat!

Sometimes I enjoy having tea at a stylish cafe like this. Convenience store coffee is becoming popular, but coffee at cafes is still expensive! Thank you for the meal! I only have thoughts about how to increase the word count! Writing 100 characters is everything! 😊

This cafe at Fukuoka Airport has terrace seating available, which is nice for a quick tea break. They have made-to-order menu items, so they will bring your order to your table. The menu consists of drinks and light snacks, so if you're looking for a full meal, it's recommended to visit another restaurant.

・Smoothie Fruit Rouge 600 yen ・Pistachio Meringue 330 yen ・Roasted Green Tea 432 yen ◯ When it comes to Pierre Hermé, macarons are a must. ◯ They sell delicious Japanese ingredients from all over the country. ◯ Surprisingly less crowded than other cafe chains, making it a hidden gem. ✨

Fukuoka Airport for some reason Pierre Herme's Cafe Estaba was crowded, but this place had few customers which was strange. You order at the counter, cake and drink set for 660 yen. It feels a bit of a deal to be enjoying this at the airport. The rich chocolate cake was delicious. It was just average, but at an airport, isn't this a good deal? The last stop of my Fukuoka business trip ended with satisfaction. Thank you for the meal!

At Fukuoka Airport on the 3rd floor, I found a shop called "Pierre Hermé" known for its macarons, originally from Paris. I was looking for a gift to bring when meeting various people, and decided to check out the airport as the department stores in Tenjin and Hakata didn't have anything new. I discovered this shop, which not only sells sweets but also has a spacious eat-in area. I was considering taking a break and admiring the sweets when a kind staff member informed me that the sweets and drink set was a good deal. I ordered the orange meringue and iced tea set for 660 yen, which was cheaper than buying them separately at 770 yen. The orange meringue was delicious with a nice texture and plenty of chopped orange peel and nuts inside. The iced tea was recommended to go well with the meringue instead of coffee, and I agreed. I'm not a fan of macarons, which "Pierre Hermé" is famous for, so I didn't try them myself. I found a great shop to buy nice gifts, so I'll definitely be back. This review is based on the sweets set only. Thank you.

"Fukuoka Airport has a 'Made in Pierre Herme' shop. This brand showcases the wonderful things of Japan to the world from Tokyo Marunouchi. They sell specialty foods and products collaborated with producers, as well as Pierre Herme's macarons and baked goods. The cafe attached offers original drinks and sweets for you to enjoy. Pineapple & Hibiscus Juice - 715 yen: Made with pineapples from Ishigaki, said to only account for 1% of the total distribution in Japan. Almond Meringue - 330 yen: A large meringue with a macaron and almond on top. The perfect balance of almond's aroma and meringue's sweetness is delicious. The Fukuoka Airport shop opened in April 2021. In addition to baked goods, they also sell pickles, dressings, dashi, and other goods like shopping bags. There is an eat-in space in front of the shop, so you can also use it during your flight waiting time."

The airport is a place to rest and shop during limited hours... The lines are confusing, and when I asked a customer to line up here, they got annoyed and said, "Please go ahead of this customer." Then they apologized, saying, "Sorry for the wait," and took my order. They also asked, "Have you secured a seat?" But there were no seats available. I thought the sign was tacky with a Japanese style, and the staff's movements seemed sloppy... They should work efficiently and not waste the customers' time with constant apologies. The food from Pierre Hermé was better than the convenience store's.

After seeing off my family, I stopped by to have some tea. It's been a week since I last visited, haha. When it comes to Ladurée, it's all about the macarons, so today I had the matcha & sesame and the classic rose macarons. I paired them with an iced tea. It's nice that you can casually enjoy macarons here. It's a shame they only had strawberry iced tea, but it goes well with the macarons. Ladurée's macarons are delicious as always ♥️ They had croissants today, which they didn't have last week, so I got some to take home for tomorrow's breakfast. They also have a great deal on drink & dessert sets, so I'll definitely be back. Thank you for the meal!

Well, I've arrived at Fukuoka Airport! I have a little time, so I thought about going to the card lounge, but it's a bit far, so I'll have some café time here instead! I feel like having some carbonated drink to cool off from the heat outside! Let's quench our thirst at Pierre Hermé's café! It's a bit strange to see "Pierre Hermé" written vertically on the lanterns! And the Pierre Hermé T-shirt! Everyone ends up looking like Pierre Hermé! Well, that's not really important! So, here we go! Soda Orange & Passion! Sweet orange and refreshing passion fruit! Made with rich purée and intense soda! The fruity carbonation bursting in your mouth will soothe you from the summer heat! Lemon Meringue! A new sensation dessert with lemon-flavored macaron wrapped in baked meringue! The crispy texture of macaron and meringue! Be careful as it crumbles easily! The texture of lemon peel goes well with it! Well, this concludes the Fukuoka Business & Holiday Club! Looking forward to the next Fukuoka trip, but I guess I need to start a diet for a while!

Picking up my family at the airport after a long time, we safely arrived and took a break. The airport has changed a lot. There is now an Hermès cafe on the third floor. It's more like an eat-in space, with people walking by in front of you, so it's not for those who mind that. The menu is limited, and there are no extravagant Hermès cakes, which is a bit disappointing. I selected some cute sweets like macarons and meringue. Macarons are very fragile, so maybe they were originally created as a solution for broken macarons. The meringue has various fillings, so you can enjoy both the appearance and taste of each one. By the way, I find it strange that Pierre Hermé is written in katakana. There was also a T-shirt with the katakana logo, but I don't have the courage to wear it. It might look cool to people from overseas, though. I wonder if I should visit again next time I come to the airport. I want to buy a croissant. I will visit again. Thank you for the meal.

With 3 stores in Tokyo (Marunouchi, Gransta Tokyo, Kichijoji), the shop at Fukuoka Airport followed suit. I have visited a few times this summer to purchase and enjoy their sophisticated and exquisite macarons. Not only for purchasing, but also to enjoy a cold drink, I dined in at the open cafe. - Macaron: 1 piece for 300 yen (excluding tax) Treated like fresh confectionery, Herme's macarons. If you let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes before eating it refrigerated, the aroma and texture become more prominent. While sipping on a cold drink and waiting a bit, I enjoyed it. The sophisticated and exquisite sweets have an elegant appearance. The macaron cookie has a crispy outer layer and a sweet and gentle filling, creating a wonderful harmony. I also tried their croissant, considered the most delicious in Paris. It was a summer where I visited here a few times to meet friends and find solace at the airport amidst the unsettled times due to the pandemic. The store also offers gifts that are perfect for souvenirs. They collaborate with excellent producers from various regions in Japan to offer food products and miscellaneous goods. I purchased various items such as seaweed, mayonnaise, and canned goods. Among them, the mayonnaise was my favorite. - Specialty Mayonnaise from Egg Farmer: 950 yen (excluding tax) 170g Made with eggs from a farm in Aichi Prefecture that raises hens on completely plant-based feed, using the farm's pride and joy rice eggs. The ingredients include olive oil from Spain, rice eggs from Cocoteras, grape vinegar, sugar, salt, and mustard. A mayonnaise made with high-quality olive oil without any additives. It has a deep and special flavor similar to French sauce. I used half of it to make a jar of tartar sauce at home, and it turned out to be exquisite. I became curious to try the rice eggs from Cocoteras themselves. A concept shop with a focus on details. You can encounter unique and interesting items from Pierre Herme's perspective.

Made in Pierre Herme Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Airport Domestic Terminal Building 3rd Floor A fun cafe that sells delicious Japanese ingredients and sweets incorporating Japanese ingredients. Casual style that is easy to use. I came here to meet my friends at Fukuoka Airport, where the shops have been enhanced with the renovation. Made in has locations in Tokyo, Aichi, and Fukuoka/Saga. The Fukuoka Airport store initially started as an antenna shop, but now has a proper storefront. The simple style is self-service for water and oshibori (wet towels) like a food court. Pierre Herme's iconic macarons and croissants are displayed in the showcase at the reception. The display includes a unique touch with a Hakata food stall set up. The cafe menu ranges from 324 yen (takeout) to 330 yen (eat-in) for drinks. The macarons (matcha and black sesame) are 330 yen each, with a two-tone macaron offering a crispy and chewy texture with concentrated flavors. I ordered an iced coffee for 440 yen, which was rich, clear, and delicious. I also received a sample of shrimp-flavored cookies, which had a crispy texture with a savory taste reminiscent of rice crackers. The presence of Ariake seaweed at the food stall was impressive. It's interesting to see "Pierre Herme" written in katakana. It was a low-key and open atmosphere that made it easy to spend a short time chatting comfortably. It was a pleasant experience at Fukuoka Airport, which is only two subway stops away from Hakata Station. It would be fun to take out some sweets and enjoy them on the deck while watching the airplanes for a change of pace.
