MOTHERS Opens Fukuoka's First MORETHAN CAFÉ RESTAURANT LOUNGE

On April 20, 2026, MOTHERS Co., Ltd., based in Musashino, Tokyo, will launch the MORETHAN CAFÉ RESTAURANT LOUNGE within THE KNOT FUKUOKA Tenjin, marking a new era in Fukuoka's dining landscape. This establishment introduces the concept of a "stayable restaurant," creating a unique fusion of dining and lodging that has not been seen before in this region.

A Unique Hotel Experience Centered Around Dining

The MORETHAN experience transforms the traditional understanding of hotels, where eating and staying are typically segregated, into a seamless journey. By positioning the restaurant as the heart of the hotel experience, guests are encouraged to naturally link the time spent dining with their overall stay.

One of the highlights is the first-ever tap bar in Kyushu, featuring 15 varieties of beers and cocktails. The restaurant staff will double as front desk attendants, fostering an approachable and friendly atmosphere. This model allows for a flow of warmth and communication that extends from dining to the guest rooms, promoting a cohesive and integrated experience, from check-in to leisure time.

This innovative approach is a collaborative effort between One Five Hotels and MOTHERS, ensuring that every aspect of planning, design, and operation is thoughtfully synchronized.

Elegant All-Day Dining in Daimyo

The MORETHAN CAFÉ RESTAURANT LOUNGE aims to blend seamlessly into the vibrant Daimyo area, offering a sophisticated all-day dining option. Guests will savor focaccia baked in a wood-fired oven, with a choice of a hearty breakfast main dish and a buffet featuring seasonal local vegetables, setting a relaxing tone for the morning.

For dinner, a rich assortment of appetizers, pasta, and pizzas, baked in an Italian-imported stone oven, will delight diners. The open kitchen concept provides an engaging atmosphere that captures the energy of the city, resulting in a truly adult-oriented dining experience.

The "Farm to Pizza" Concept

A standout feature of the MORETHAN café is its commitment to local ingredients through the “Farm to Pizza” ethos. Utilizing dairy products from Kumamoto's UBUYAMA PLACE, the pizzas are imbued with flavors that evoke a sense of place. The result is a dining experience that connects guests to the rich landscape and agricultural heritage of the area, presenting a plate that feels like a small journey.

By savoring these dishes, patrons are invited to experience the essence of their surroundings, as the narrative of the ingredients plays out on their plates.
