No food at Sakura (Domestic) Lounge in Fukuoka?
I will fly from FUK to Haneda in fall and have One World Sapphire status. I looked up the OW lounge website and did not see food listed as a facility. Is it true that no food is served? For those who have used the domestic terminal, is there a choice of good food vendors airside? Thank you.

Yes, it's true — JAL Sakura Lounges in domestic terminals (including FUK) do not serve meals. The offerings are limited to self-serve drinks (including draft beer for beer lovers 🍺
and light snacks like rice crackers.
If you're looking for a proper meal, I recommend grabbing something landside before going through security. That said, there are also some decent food vendors airside at FUK, including local specialties, though the selection is more limited compared to landside.
Safe travels and enjoy your flight to Haneda!

There are other options as well
The domestic lounges in Japan are not exciting, but as you can really arrive at the airport 30 minutes before departure and make it fine, the need for lounges are limited.

I would agree - eat something airside - the lounges in general don't offer much.
For what it's worth - where there's a OWE lounge/Domestic First, the food offering is (generally) just onigiri and clam soup. You'd need to eat a lot of onigiris to fill up and you may disgruntle fellow passengers as there's only so many at one time.

Those are certainly not components that makes a full meal, but a quite decent snack before the flight.
