If you like pizza and Danish design, look no
further than Gorm's, a new pizzeria that
opened this April in Yakuin. The owner,
interior shop proprietor Seiichiro Iwamura,
travels to Denmark several times a year. There
he met Gorm Wisweh at his eponymous piz-
zeria, and the two struck up a friendship that
led to the opening of the Fukuoka shop. What
impressed Iwamura the most about Denmark
was its comfortable yet refined atmosphere.

used in northern European cooking. You can
also enjoy a selection of wines chosen by a
famous sommelier or stop by for a cup of Kon-
tra coffee, a Copenhagen cafe co-owned by a
World Barista Champion, on the wooden deck.
Italian Pizza Meets Scandinavian Fusion
Although he got his start in the imported fur-
niture business, he says he wanted to share
his love of Denmark through food. At Gorm's,
the floor plan evokes a sense of relaxation.
Every nook and cranny is decorated with in-
teresting display items, and tasteful music
plays in the background. The menu is replete
with Gorm's original Italian pizzas and unique
Scandinavian fusion cuisine, including several
dishes flavored with dill, an herb frequently

FUKUOKAS TOP 9 KAKIGORI SHOPS:
fukuoka-now.com/kakigori
KakigoriT
emperatures are rising and the end of summer is nowhere in sight... its time to
hunt down one of Japans favorite summer sweets, kakigori for a moment of sweet
and cool relief! For the uninitiated, kakigori is a shaved ice dessert flavored with
everything from syrup to condensed milk, fruits, and more. Its a popular street
food, a staple at summer festivals, convenience stores and cafes in the hot months. In
summer, youre bound to find it everywhere (just look for the blue and red sign!) but that doesnt mean all kakigori are created equal. A good kakigori has a fluffy consistency
of freshly fallen snow, with quality toppings and flavorings. A bad kakigori can be a sick-
eningly sweet cup of crunchy ice. We want you to avoid the latter so weve short-listed 9
shops in Fukuoka where you can enjoy this icy sweet at its best. Check our website for the
full list! fukuoka-now.com/kakigori
SWEET SNOW, DAIMYOThis compact kakigori bar in Daimyo proves
that size isnt everything. It has a cool vibe,
cool tunes and a neat menu of eight origi-
nal kakigori, made expertly before your
eyes. The shop was opened this June and
the owners are already setting up a second
shop in Nishijin. So what can you expect
from Sweet Snow? Milky, soft shaved ice
with tasty toppings. Their most popular
item is the mango kakigori made from a
block of mango flavored ice AND topped
with mango. Double yum! Eat-in and take-
out menus available. The eat-in kakigori is a
larger serving and includes a cup of tea, the
takeout is a bit smaller, served in a disposal
cup, and cheaper. The shop opens at noon
and stays open until 3am serving drinks
from the bar, so if youve got a late night
craving for kakigori, you know where to go!
EAT IN: Milk 700, Cocoa 700, Matcha

New Cityscape Taking Shape in RopponmatsuFive years have passed since the Kyushu
University Ropponmatsu Campus relocated
to the Ito Campus in Nishi Ward. Some roads
and parks have been completed on the 6.5 ha
former campus site, and major construction
work is about to begin (scheduled to be com-
pleted in 2018). The Fukuoka High Court, Pub-
lic Prosecutors Office and Bar Association
will relocate to the site, and JR Kyushu will
build a multipurpose facility which will house
the Fukuoka City Childrens Science & Culture
Center (popular for its planetarium and due
to open in 2017) and the Kyushu University
Law School. Local residents will be able to un-
wind along a 10m wide greenway encircling
the entire site. Inquiries: University Reloca-
tion Coordination Section (092-711-4154)
New Anti-theft Motorcycle PatrolThis June the City began using motorcycles
with flashing blue lights for crime preven-
tion patrols in an effort to reduce bicycle
and motorcycle thefts, and other crimes.
The patrols are concentrated in Tenjin and
the areas around Hakata Station, Daiichi Uni-
versity of Pharmacy, Kyushu Sangyo Univer-
sity, Fukuoka University and Seinan Gakuin
University. The mobility of the motorbikes
makes it easier to patrol narrow side streets
as well as major roads. Inquiries: Civic Safety
Section (092-711-4054)
