Experience the New Autumn Delights at THE LIVELY Fukuoka Hakata

As the leaves begin to turn and the air cools, THE LIVELY Fukuoka Hakata is excited to announce the launch of their new seasonal menu featuring innovative autumn-inspired desserts starting October 6th, 2026. This boutique hotel, managed by Global Agents and located in the heart of Hakata, is set to elevate the traditional experience of enjoying seasonal flavors with their unique dining offerings, embodying the theme of "DIG MY Autumn."

The Concept of DIG MY Autumn

The seasonal initiative “DIG MY Autumn” invites guests and visitors to embrace the essence of autumn through various culinary experiences. This concept encourages guests to delve deeper into the autumn season, discovering not just traditional flavors but also new interpretations and combinations that highlight the richness of local ingredients. The phrase “dig” reflects the exploration of flavors, textures, and presentations that surprise and delight the senses.

With a focus on local produce, guests can expect to enjoy dishes that are not just about consumption but also about interaction and engagement, creating memorable moments that resonate with the essence of fall. This season's offerings promise to be both visually stunning and delicious, enhancing the hotel experience beyond standard expectations.

Introducing the DIG Mont Blanc

One of the star attractions of this seasonal menu is the "DIG Mont Blanc," a reimagined version of the classic dessert that features two distinct variations. Each serving begins with the Mont Blanc wrapped in fluffy cotton candy, hiding its delicious contents. Guests are invited to pour warm osmanthus syrup over the cotton candy, which melts away to reveal a beautifully decorated Mont Blanc underneath, reminiscent of autumn's fleeting treasures. This interactive dessert experience makes every bite a delightful surprise, adding an element of excitement as guests uncover the hidden flavors.

A Flavorful Journey

The main ingredients for the DIG Mont Blanc feature Kyushu’s sweet potato “Beni Haruka” and figs from Fukuoka, both crafted with various textures and flavors to heighten the tasting experience. This approach not only showcases autumnal ingredients but also encourages diners to appreciate the depth and variety of tastes that can be explored.

Here’s a sneak peek at the two variations available:

1. Sweet Potato and Chestnut: Highlighting the sweet potato's natural sweetness paired with seasonal chestnuts, this version comes layered with a cold sweet potato soup, fried sweet potato pieces, and sweet potato caramel. Each textural element combines harmoniously, encapsulated in a light Mont Blanc cream, and decorated with themes celebrating autumnal nights.

2. Fig and Cassis: Featuring the luxurious “Toyomitsuhime” figs, this variant incorporates a cold fig soup, fig caramel, and a unique cassis cake. The balance of sweet and tart flavors, along with visually appealing garnishes, portrays an autumn harvest festival, promising a rich and vibrant dining experience.

Seasonal Beverage Pairings

Alongside these incredible desserts, THE LIVELY BAR is introducing two fall-inspired beverage options designed to complement the autumn flavors.

- Royal Chocolate Milk Tea: A delightful mix of burdock and chocolate infused with Kyushu mascarpone and Yame Japanese black tea, creating an unexpected yet harmonious fall flavor.
- Moonlit Apple Cocktail: Infused with apple bourbon, this cocktail captures the essence of autumn evenings, garnished with caramelized apples, allowing guests to enjoy the changing hues of the drink as autumn deepens.
