Jacques Ohori Shop is one of the top dessert destinations in Fukuoka, celebrated for its diverse array of exquisite treats. Among its offerings, the tarts are particularly noteworthy, characterized by their thin shells that resemble flaky puff pastry, offering a delightful departure from the conventional dense tart shells. However, Jacques's acclaim goes beyond tarts, with a vast assortment of baked delights and cakes exemplifying the establishment's dedication to culinary perfection.
Jacques boasts a façade that seamlessly blends simplicity with elegance, primarily adorned in pristine white. Stepping inside, visitors are enveloped in a serene atmosphere, where chic brown hues accentuate the interiors. Immediately, one is greeted by an array of baked sweets, leading the eye to an enticing showcase filled with intricately crafted cakes.
The name 'Jacques' serves as a nod to Alsace, France, where Pastry Chef Otsuka honed his craft. With its inception in 1995 in Daimyo, Jacques further solidified its esteemed reputation by opening another store in Ohori in 2010. This presence has firmly positioned Jacques as a go-to for both residents and travelers in Fukuoka.
Every visit promises a gastronomic journey, from the captivating green cake, an artful blend of pistachios and select ingredients, to the tempting red raspberry mousse. Jacques beckons all dessert aficionados to partake in an experience that tantalizes the senses and leaves an indelible mark on the palate.
