August 2026. First day of my trip to Fukuoka.A reviewer from Tokyo recommended that I must visit Syn while in Fukuoka, so I tried to make a reservation through Pocket Concierge for this trip.Unfortunately, it was already fully booked (what a bummer).I registered for a cancellation slot just in case, and later received a message saying I was in! Lucky me! ٩( 'ω' )وI arrived for my reservation at 6:30 PM.Upon entering, the chef greeted me on the first floor.We took the elevator to the fourth floor and headed to the dining area.The large, curved counter seats were spacious!I started with a toast over a beer (even though I was dining solo, haha).After the beer, I opted for a pairing.Among the dishes I tried, the pairing of Kishu duck with red wine and then whiskey was truly impressive.The autumn salmon from Hokkaido with horseradish sauce, the Saga beef bresaola with Itoshima corn, and the plate featuring chef Fujimoto's eel and Hokkaido's purple sea urchin, inspired by 1930s France, were also highlights for me!The travel-themed dishes were complemented by a travel-inspired alcohol pairing, including tequila, which I really enjoyed.Next to the menu, the chef included the names of places and years that inspired each dish, adding a fun riddle-like element and various ways to enjoy the experience.I would love to visit this restaurant again in a different season.It was a great meal.Here’s what I had:"Cuisine Voyages"☆Aqua Vitae Pheasant, Duck, Ukkokei, Aqua-Mineral ☆Smørrebrød Nakijin-Agu, Sourdough, Fermentation ☆Umbrella Duck-Liver, Black-pepper, Mushroom ☆Trompe-Esprit Autumn-Salmon, Wood-Fire, Horseradish ☆Stuzzicchichiniois Bresaola, White-Corn Saga beef bresaola, Itoshima corn ☆Table Sur La Terrasse Violetta di-Firenze, Hamo, Uni Chef Fujimoto's eel, Hokkaido's purple sea urchin ☆Pollo Al Pastor N&V style Ver. 2026 Pineapple, Coriander, Chili-Ancho, Allium ☆Grand Cru Green - Asparagus, Verveine ☆Canard-Étouffé Blood, Sauce-Salmis, Concentrated-Alcohol Kishu duck ☆Laap Khmer-Rabbit, Mint, Chili, History ☆Transit Syn-style duck and leek claypot rice ☆Mango á la Mode Mango-Pudding, Vanilla-Ice-Cream, Coco-Buble ☆Lounge Yukimi-Daifuku, Eclair, Tarte-au-Passion ◯Heiwa Craft WHITE ALE (Wakayama, Kainan) ◯Vejrhøj Vingård Sterling 2022 (Denmark, Zealand) ◯Ximénez-Spínola Exceptional Harvest 2024 (Spain, Jerez, Andalusia) ◯Mori no Brewery Mori no Sake 2025 (Hokkaido, Rankoshi) ◯Clase Azul Tequila Reposado (Mexico, Jalisco, Los Altos) ◯Domaine Chandon de Briailles Savigny Les Beaune Aux Fournaux 2023 (France, Burgundy) ◯Lochlea Fallow Edition third Edition (Scotland) ◯Sekinoichi Brewery Japanese Herb Ale Sansho (Iwate, Ichinoseki) ◯Kakutani Bunjiro Shoten Sanshu Yanagikage (Aichi, Hekinan) ◯Heinrich Naked Orange (Austria, Burgenland)
