When I went to "Toya" at Daikyo Value Yanaga store, I found a bakery called "Toya" with an old folk house-like structure on the adjacent site. It seems like it used to be in Yakuin. The interior of the store has a nice atmosphere with high ceilings. You can also dine in the store. The sandwich series is recommended, and the top choice is the croquette sandwich. It's 250 yen + tax, and the croquette is big, but it blends perfectly with the buns. The wiener sandwich is also 250 yen + tax, and the hamburger is 250 yen + tax. The seasoning is simple for all of them. There are probably more options in the morning. Store information: Toya 092-571-2883, 1-34-13 Yanase, Minami-ku, Fukuoka City. Business hours: 07:00-20:00.

I vaguely remembered being interviewed by a local TV station in the past, but I didn't have the opportunity to visit the place. However, I happened to be nearby and saw the store, which reminded me of it, so I decided to visit. The bakery is located right next to the third parking lot of the recently famous local supermarket "Dai Kyō Value Yanaga Store," on the side facing Yanaga Danchi. There are 3-4 parking spaces in front of the store, where I parked before entering. The store has a traditional Japanese feel, renovated from an old building. It originally opened in Yakuin in 1948 and relocated to this location about 15 years ago. Perhaps because of this history, the lineup of bread is more like that of a Showa-era bakery, featuring melon bread, cream bread, jam bread, and the like. I purchased the classic melon bread, cream bread, and walnut bread. Despite the recent increase in bread prices, the prices here are relatively reasonable, in the late 100 yen range. The next morning, I had the melon bread, which was moist and substantial, reminiscent of the old days. It seems to be the most popular item. The walnut bread was also dense, with a strong walnut flavor. Unfortunately, the cream bread disappeared into my wife's stomach before I could review it, but she seemed to enjoy it. I appreciated the feel of a bakery that has been beloved by the community for many years. Thank you for the meal.

When it seems like the local TV is running out of material, you can always count on the familiar local supermarket "DaiKyo Value Yanaga Store" located next to the P entrance/exit on the Yanaga housing complex side. Right next to it is the bakery shop "Pan to Yougashi no Tooya". This bakery is more of a traditional establishment with a calm and nostalgic atmosphere, founded in 1948. The shop moved to its current location in 2008 and is currently run by the 4th generation (possibly) of the family. The shop has a traditional Japanese house-like structure with a small grassy area in the parking lot. There are a few seats outside and a few more inside for customers to enjoy their baked goods. I visited the bakery around 1 pm and purchased three items: 1) Blueberry for 270 yen, 2) Condensed Milk France for 150 yen, and 3) Apple Pie for 180 yen. The Blueberry bread had a homemade jam with a subtle sweetness and a soft texture. The Condensed Milk France was a baguette sandwich with a unique flavor due to the generous use of butter. The Apple Pie had a flaky pastry and a balanced sweetness from the cooked apples. Overall, the bakery offers elegant and refined pastries with a touch of simplicity. It's a great place to take a break from the hustle and bustle of the nearby supermarket and enjoy some quality baked goods. Personal Eatery Rating: 3.1

The old-fashioned signboard and mascot at the entrance have a charming atmosphere. I visited this bakery when it was in Yakuin. It had the image of a traditional bakery with a wide variety of bread rolls. I bought the popular blueberry bread and walnut bread. I also got a corn bread roll, and the soft texture of the bread was delicious! I usually have bad luck with this type of bread, but this one was not dry at all. I haven't tried the blueberry bread and walnut bread yet, but the blueberry bread has a purple filling and a lovely blueberry scent. I would love to go back and try them along with shaved ice and a Daihachi Value set.

As I was wandering around, I caught a whiff of a delicious scent coming from an old traditional house. I decided to take a look inside and found "Azuma-ya Pan". The smell got even better inside. The madeleines were freshly baked and incredibly delicious! I also bought some piroshki, tonkatsu sandwich, and pudding. It was all so good!笑

This shop is located in Yahisa, Minami Ward. If you head towards the housing complex, you should be able to find it easily. It's a place you can reach smoothly by looking it up. The parking lot is right in front of the shop. It's a charming standalone building with a traditional Japanese house style. Inside, it's also lovely with the option to sit and enjoy coffee at tables. Many bread options were sold out, but I managed to choose a few from what was available. I was contemplating which bread to get, but when I touched the sample through the bag, it was so fluffy! I couldn't resist buying it. The staff was also friendly which was great. As for the taste, it was really delicious! The walnut rice flour bread was fluffy and chewy, very tasty! The corn bread was filled with corn! The melon bread had a classic taste and was consistently good. I feel like trying another type of bread next time! Thank you for the meal.

This shop has a nostalgic atmosphere, reminiscent of a large old-fashioned candy store. When I visited in the early afternoon, most of the bread was sold out, leaving only a few options like hamburgers, fried fish bread, and red bean paste buns. There was a recommended chestnut red bean paste bun that caught my eye, but this time I opted for the fried fish bread. I had a craving for a savory bread item, but I definitely want to try the chestnut red bean paste bun next time. There is also an eat-in area where you can enjoy a coffee in a relaxed space. It was quite calming, perhaps because it was past the peak hours. Surprisingly, this time might have been the best choice. Thank you for the meal.

I went in the evening, so there were few options available. The prices were discounted. The taste was delicious. Next time, I will go earlier.

This is a handmade bread and cake shop located near Yanaidai housing complex. I stopped by to buy bread while buying drinks for heatstroke prevention at the drugstore next to the shop. The interior of the shop, which also has a café space in the back, has a retro feel. On this day, I bought some bread to have with beer for dinner at home. The teriyaki chicken bread costs 160 yen and has grilled chicken thigh meat with a light flavor. The grilled burdock bread costs 160 yen and has a crispy texture with Kinpira burdock topping. The edamame French bread costs 180 yen and has a crispy outside and moist inside with edamame and fragrant cheese. The shop is located next to Yanaidai housing complex. Bread and Western Sweets Toya, Address: 1-34-13 Yanase, Minami-ku, Fukuoka City, Tel/Reservation: 092-571-2883, Business Hours: 7:00-20:00, Closed on Sundays and holidays.

When I enter the store, I am soothed by the wonderful smell and the energetic voice of the staff. I want to savor this atmosphere for a long time, so whenever I come here, I always eat in. Today, I had an anpan melon bread and a cheese French bread. The melon bread series, all with a crispy exterior, are quite popular. There are also other flavors like red tea melon bread, but I rarely come across them, perhaps because I come in the afternoon. There is a toaster in the eat-in space, so you can warm them up and enjoy the crispy texture even more. The red tea is also generously filled and costs only 150 yen. Thank you for the delicious meal today! ☺︎

Today, I had tea time at a bakery early in the morning. It's a little hard to find, but it's a very stylish bakery! They also have a nice eat-in space. The cooking bread and sweet bread all look delicious! Today, I had a raisin sandwich and a scone. I also tried some cooking bread. The scones come in three different flavors. They also have a nice three-pack for souvenirs. When I ate in, they even gave me some whipped cream! It's definitely one of my favorite shops!

I visited "Panya no Pan" for the first time since they moved. It's so far away, I probably wouldn't have come without navigation. The old retro image remains the same, but it's more than twice as big now. The "Choco Corne" was such a nostalgic treat. The chocolate cream inside was just like the old days. The "Edamame France" and bread were delicious. The Edamame France was crispy and tasty. The "Harajuku Dog" was interesting, with custard cream inside a simple waffle.

I visited the shop in Yakuin more than 10 years ago. The atmosphere of the shop was similar, but now they have a larger seating area. There are various types of melon bread, all with a simple and nostalgic Showa-era taste. They also have bacon epi bread, but it's a bit soft. The location is a bit hard to find, but it's a bakery I would like to visit occasionally. They also sell Itoshima vegetables.

This is the oldest bakery I have ever been to. It has been around for about 60 years and they cherish traditional bread like Anpan while also incorporating modern bread like scones. They are particular about using additive-free ingredients. For example, according to a card I received at the register, they have a bread called "Black Bread Shokupan" which is made with domestically produced soybeans and wheat bran, and uses mineral-rich coconut sugar. This bread has been made since the establishment of the bakery. They also sell sweets and miscellaneous goods. The most popular item seems to be Anpan. The location is in a residential area, and although it doesn't give off a bread-buying atmosphere, the bakery may not be well-known. There is a supermarket next door, which can be a bit of a maze, so you can take a break and stop by the bakery. I live relatively close by, but the transportation is not convenient, so I have always been curious but never made it there. They open at 7 AM, so I recommend those who are nearby to visit before work or during school lunch break. The bread was good, but I was personally interested in the cafe. The back area is a cafe corner, not extremely stylish but has a very calming atmosphere. Next time, I want to buy bread and enjoy the cafe. I am curious about the "Black Bread Shokupan," so I plan to purchase it next time. Purchased bread: - Soy Milk Melon Pan: Not as sweet as regular melon pan, and the dough has a slight elasticity, which becomes even more delicious when slightly baked. - Cinnamon, Chocolate, and Walnut Scone: Large scones with plenty of cinnamon, walnuts, and chocolate. Would be even better if the inside was a bit more moist. - Walnut Scone: Another large scone with big walnuts. Like the cinnamon scone, it would be tastier if the inside was more moist. - Mont Blanc Danish: Not something I usually buy, but it was recommended this month. Topped with a large chestnut, followed by chestnut paste and cream. The natural sweetness of the chestnut was delightful. Chestnuts are delicious.

In the South District of Yanase, there is a bakery called "Pan to Yougashi no Toya-san". I often pass by this area regularly because there is a hospital nearby, so I decided to go there specifically to visit the bakery this time. The bakery is not registered on my old navigation system, so I relied on the map to find it. It was located along the street, so I found it easier than I thought, although the exterior was different from what I expected, and I almost passed by it at first. The black-painted appearance reminiscent of an old folk house, with a fully glass-walled kitchen where you can see inside from the outside. When I visited, it was exactly 12 o'clock noon, and I saw an old man in the kitchen taking a lunch break with a cup ramen in hand, which made me laugh unintentionally. Everything seemed so open and not hidden, which left a good impression on me. Inside the store, jazz music was playing, creating a very stylish atmosphere that matched the old building. The friendly staff smiled and recommended their popular bread to me. The prices were mostly in the 100 yen range, making it very affordable. After much deliberation, I chose a cream anpan (110 yen), soy milk melon bread (130 yen), and a scone set (200 yen) this time. Although I wanted to try the savory items as well, I couldn't resist the melon bread! The red bean paste looked delicious! The scones were huge! Due to my own selfishness, I had to pass on the savory items this time. While in the car, I immediately took a bite of the soy milk melon bread, which had a crispy cookie-like surface and a chewy interior, providing a satisfying eating experience. Encouraged by this, I tried the cream anpan next, but it was so heavy that I couldn't finish two in a row. The texture of the red bean paste in the anpan was smooth and had just the right amount of sweetness, making me feel a sense of luxury with anpan for the first time. There are still many bread items that caught my interest, so I plan to keep going back until I try them all!

This shop offers bread made with a nostalgic texture that you don't often find in typical bakery shops in department store basements. It is located on a main street about a 5-minute walk from Yakuin Odori towards Ropponmatsu. Next to it, there is a space that sells gelato, but it was closed, perhaps due to the cold weather. Vegetables are displayed by the entrance. There is a spacious seating area at the back of the shop. They offer a wide variety of bread, with a focus on soft bread rather than hard bread. There are many types of sweet bread, followed by savory bread. Plain options are limited, with prices ranging from around 100 to 200 yen, making it a perfect everyday bakery. I bought a hot dog made with sausages from Koyaya in Nanayama Village, Saga Prefecture, priced at 500 yen and limited to 10 per day. It was slightly expensive, but I decided to try it as there were only a few left. The hot dog was made with herb pork sausage in a soft French bread with mustard, lettuce, and mayonnaise. When I got home, I grilled the sausage and enjoyed it. The Koyaya sausage was delicious, with a great texture and juiciness. It was worth the price. I also bought a potato and cheese bread, an apple pie, and a croissant with chocolate inside, which is a long-selling item. They were all delicious. The shop will be operating at its current location until February 1, 2008, and will relocate to Yanase in Minami Ward in mid-March. If you live in the city center, it is recommended to visit before the move.

Located along the Jonan Line, near Minamiyakuin bus stop, is a long-established bakery that was founded in 1952. Enticed by the smell of freshly baked cinnamon sugar bread, I initially passed by but eventually decided to go inside. The bakery is housed in an old building, with the bakery section in the front, an eat-in corner in the back, and gelato sold next door. Since Chikuyo and Futaba high schools are nearby, the shop is always filled with high school girls buying their favorite bread and chatting in the back. After some hesitation, I ended up buying the cinnamon sugar bread, cream cheese-filled bread, and a cream bread with oranges using Seven Mountains eggs, all for 350 yen. This shop emphasizes using natural ingredients whenever possible, including Seven Mountains eggs. They also offer pudding made with Seven Mountains eggs. The cinnamon sugar bread remained soft and fluffy with a hint of cinnamon even after some time. The cream bread with oranges was similarly fluffy, with a rich orange aroma. However, I felt the cream filling was a bit lacking. The bread with cream cheese had a subtle sweetness and a fluffy texture, but I wished there was more cheese inside. The bread itself remained fluffy and chewy over time, with a gentle natural sweetness. The cozy and inviting atmosphere of the simple shop makes it a comforting place to enjoy delicious bread.

This is a shop near Miyae Post Office. I purchased an apple pie, a kiwi Danish, and a black bread loaf. The apple pie had a crispy crust but I wished it was a bit sweeter. The kiwi Danish had sliced kiwi on top of whipped cream and was just the right amount of sweet and delicious. The black bread loaf was made with bran and had a simple, rustic taste. Also, the bread from the previous day is discounted, so it's recommended to go early in the morning.

I visited this bakery when it was still in Yakuin over 10 years ago, and I recently revisited after it moved. Despite the relocation, it still retains a retro feel. There were about two parking spaces in front of the shop. This time, I bought corn bread, black tea cream bread, spinach bread, bean cheese bread, and condensed milk French bread. The dough was chewy, and the flavors were simple and rustic.
