Restaurant SNOW, an innovative cuisine establishment, is located a 6-8 minute walk from Watanabedori Station.This highly-rated creative restaurant is known for its bright and hospitable service. It has been recognized not only as one of the top 100 innovative restaurants in 2025 but also awarded the Tabelog Bronze in 2025 and 2026.It’s a popular spot where you can enjoy creative dishes that combine French techniques with ingredients from Kyushu. Reservations for the reasonably priced lunch course are recommended well in advance, while dinner reservations tend to be easier to secure online.Here are the dishes we enjoyed:-----------------------------◾️ Amuse-Bouche First, we were presented with an appetizer platter that creatively showcased local specialties on a plate resembling a map of Kyushu. It included Isaki and Kibi-nago from Nagasaki to Kitakyushu, a pizza topped with red beef made from the traditional Nankan-age dough from Kumamoto, and grilled goat from Okinawa that was surprisingly tender and flavorful. Each bite offered a different taste experience thanks to the variety of ingredients and seasonings.◾️ Soup A unique green gazpacho soup topped with an olive oil sorbet. The flavors of the soup were rich with the acidity of tomatoes and the sweetness of vegetables, perfectly complemented by the aromatic olive oil, making it a delightful dish.◾️ Vegetable Dish This dish featured crispy pork belly from Pineapple Agu pork paired with vegetables like loofah. The refreshing aroma of parsley was striking, and the remaining soup was perfect for dipping bread, allowing us to enjoy every last bit.◾️ Seafood Dish The seafood dish featured grouper from the Goto Islands, steamed to perfection. The delicate flavors of the grouper melted in the mouth, harmonizing beautifully with the sweetness of asparagus and a butter-based sauce enhanced with Aonori seaweed.◾️ Main Course The main dish centered around locally raised chicken from Tsushima, complemented by a foie gras sauce and pumpkin essence. The dish creatively incorporated pumpkin in various forms—puree, fritters, pickles, and sponge cake—resulting in a remarkable dish where each preparation offered a different texture and flavor, showcasing the depth of the ingredients.◾️ Dessert A stunning dessert platter featuring around 20 different items, beautifully presented. It included cream resembling espuma, cookies, fondant chocolate, and fresh fruits, all expertly flavored. The quality was so exceptional that it felt worthwhile to visit the restaurant just for the dessert platter!-----------------------------Not only is the food outstanding, but the carefully selected wines by the chef are also remarkable, making this an incredibly satisfying dining experience. I highly recommend visiting!Thank you for the meal!*Instagram Gourmet Account https://www.instagram.com/shunsuke.naka/ (Followers have surpassed 10,000!)*Gourmet Blog https://syn-gourmet.com*Comprehensive Links https://lit.link/syngourmet
