If you’re interested in Japanese desserts, then there are two concepts that you should check out and they happen to be located right next to each other. Over the weekend I passed by The Port food complex off the Fahaheel Expressway, it isn’t really that interesting of a place except for the fact it houses two Japanese dessert concepts, Kumori and Fuwa Fuwa.
Fuwa Fuwa
They opened up a few months back and have fluffy Japanese pancakes, Asian bubble waffles and Taiyaki ice cream cones. They offer delivery except for their ice cream items. @fuwafuwa.kw
Kumori
Unlike Fuwa Fuwa, Kumori has actually been around for some time now. Previously they were simply called Japan Bakery and I had posted about them back when Kuwait was going through a cheesecakes phase. They eventually rebranded to Kumori and opened up a location at The Port. Their cheesecake is still my favorite fluffy Japanese cheesecake but they also have other items like sweet and savory baked goods, bubble tea and some other fun-looking drinks with cotton candy. They also deliver. @kumori.kw
If you want to check both places out, here is the location to The Port: Google Maps
There are a number of other Japanese dessert concepts in Kuwait just not at The Port, for example, Kane Mochi and Kotton. I should probably put a comprehensive list together of all the Japanese dessert concepts since there can’t be that many, so if you know of ones I haven’t mentioned, let me know about them in the comments.

What’s the utility of calling a place a concept vs calling it a cafe/ restaurant? If there’s no utility then I hope this terminology dies cuz “concepts” are lame. Sort of like when I make a reservation and someone goes “how many pax?”. Excuse you. We are persons not PAX. Keep your restaurant lingo behind the scenes.

The word concept isn’t a restaurant lingo but it’s funny that someone who uses the word utility like you do is complaining about the word concept. Also, where are you making reservations? I’ve never in my whole life been asked “how many pax?” when making a reservation. Like never.
Huge fan of Japanese desserts, I hope all of these places do well
