AI summary of what 1 dish mentions say about the food
Meigudo’s Torimon is the clear standout, praised for its rich, comforting depth. Reviewers describe the overall vibe as warm and satisfying, perfect for a cozy meal.
“This is a typical sweet from Fukuoka, a sort of cross between a mochi and a dorayaki. Inside it has sweetened white bean paste, butter, and some unidentified cream. I bought one each for 150 yen. I can really taste the butter, the richness — it's better than the bean paste version. When I read 'butter cream' I knew I had to have it. Franci was pleasantly surprised too. Really good.”
