My daughter is obsessed with canelés, and she bought me matcha and hojicha flavors. The tea aroma fades when baked, but you can still taste a subtle tea flavor lingering in your mouth. The texture of the canelé is crucial, and it was perfect.

This is a sweets shop located on the second floor of Nishitetsu Tenjin Fukuoka Station called "Matcha Cafe HACHI". They offer various products made with carefully selected single-origin Uji matcha from Uji and Wazuka towns. I bought three types of canelés to take out on my way back from a regular meeting at a hotel in Tenjin. The flavors I purchased were: Plain Canelé for 180 yen, Hojicha Canelé for 260 yen made with tea leaves from Kyoto, and Matcha Canelé for 260 yen made with matcha from Uji and Wazuka towns known as "Tea Homeland". The shop is located near the north exit of Nishitetsu Fukuoka Tenjin Station. Address: 2-11-3 Tenjin TOIRO, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City. Phone: 092-894-5988. Business hours: 10:00-20:30 (Please note that prices, business hours, and holidays are as of the visit, so please confirm with the store before visiting).
