The sound of water The sound of earth
If you find yourself wandering through the quaint, historic town of Akizuki in Fukuoka, make sure to stop by The Sound of Water, The Sound of Earth. This charming café offers more than just a cup of coffee—it invites you into a world where nature and art beautifully intertwine.
Nestled in a renovated 135-year-old building, this café is a hidden gem that radiates warmth and character. Step inside and let the delightful aroma of freshly brewed 一杯立て珈琲 (hand-drip coffee) welcome you; this intimate setting features an impressive selection of handmade pottery, lovingly crafted in on-site workshops. The atmosphere is nothing short of magical, with natural light flooding through large windows, casting soft glows over artisan ceramics and vintage decor.
The menu is simple yet profoundly satisfying. Enjoy their signature 一杯立て珈琲 for just ¥600, or indulge in the 一杯立て珈琲セット at ¥900, which pairs aromatic coffee with one of their exquisite homemade cakes. The カボチャパイ (pumpkin pie) is a must-try, consistently praised by visitors like 'Elton Sim' for its affordability and homemade touch. Another highlight is the レアチーズケーキ (rare cheesecake), which has left many patrons—including 'ten ten'—eager for seconds!
However, it’s not just the food that makes this café special; it’s the people. The warmhearted owners create an atmosphere where everyone feels welcomed and at ease, as 'Zac L' noted in his review of the pottery workshops that are regularly held on weekends. Whether you’re here for an inspiring lesson in ceramics or to simply unwind with a slice of cake, the attentive staff elevates your experience from ordinary to extraordinary.
'みみみみみ' perfectly encapsulated the essence of this haven, mentioning the artful décor that keeps you engaged even while you wait. The expanse of the interior, complemented by the soothing sounds of a nearby stream, creates an ideal backdrop for relaxation, socializing, or even quiet contemplation.
As you sip your coffee, let the peaceful ambiance transport you away from the hustle and bustle of everyday life. With a limited schedule—open only on weekends and holidays—this café embodies the essence of a hidden retreat, encouraging you to savor each moment spent within its walls.
Visit The Sound of Water, The Sound of Earth and immerse yourself in a delightful experience that balances exquisite flavors with artistic expression, creating memories you'll cherish long after you leave.
