Fukushima Prefecture is Japan's orchard king, producing all sorts of fruit, including apples, Asian pears, peaches and grapes. The FruiTea Fukushima is a "traveling café," created around the concept of an elegant space for enjoying uniquely crafted desserts and beverages made from local Fukushima fruit while gazing out the train windows or engaging in conversation.
Running the entire length of the car in an arc, the café counter is an excellent accompaniment to an elegant train journey. The counter has open seating, just one more way to enjoy your ride on the FruiTea Fukushima.
Car no. 2: Box seating
For those wishing to enjoy a sweet snack or conversation, the box seats include a table for a relaxing time.
On-board café service
On-board service is provided on the FruiTea Fukushima. Attendants come around, offering Sweet Sets which feature two types of sweet snacks made from Fukushima fruit and hot coffee or another beverage.
Note: As of April 2019, the Sweets Sets have been changed to a new lineup of seasonal treats.
Note: The photograph is intended as an example. As fresh fruit is used, the actual dish may differ according to the season.
