There is a steamed bun shop called Hakata Dountsu in Nakasu as well. They sell both freshly made buns and individually wrapped ones for souvenirs. Since they are steamed, the freshly made buns are fluffy and warm. The gentle sweetness of the egg stands out. It seems to be a popular souvenir from Hakata, and the taste is definitely worth the hype. I bought some as souvenirs and they were well received. You can also purchase Hakata Torimon in Fukuoka Mitsukoshi, so why not get them together? Thank you for the meal!

After being impressed by the freshly baked ones in Kagoshima, I found them in Fukuoka and bought some. I had already eaten the freshly baked ones, so I wasn't expecting much from the room temperature ones, but they were still delicious even without heating them up. Haha

I returned to Fukuoka and had the opportunity to eat Satauma Steam Shop's baked donuts after a long time! I was happy to see that they have opened a shop at Tenjin Mitsukoshi, as before they were only at Hakata Station and Nakasu. I went on a Saturday afternoon and was able to buy the donuts without waiting in line. I bought the donuts and ate them with my children on a bench at Maizuru Park. It was the beginning of April, so the cherry blossoms and flower beds were beautiful. The donuts were warm and fluffy since they were freshly baked, and they were delicious. I hope to try their castadon next time!

Delicious baked donuts. The price will go up from December, but they are so good that I don't mind. My daughter loves them, so I always buy them when I come to Tenjin. The moist dough, simple sweetness, and lightness because they are not fried. It tastes like a classic Old Fashioned donut. Goes perfectly with milk. It's a taste that everyone, young and old, would enjoy. They also keep their shape well, making them a perfect souvenir to bring back in your bag. I might buy some for my colleagues at work.

I think many people nationwide have received this as a souvenir. A famous souvenir from Hakata is the popular product "Karukan" from a confectionery store based in Kagoshima. The main store sells "Karukan" and "Castella Donuts", but I don't think they sell these donuts at the main store. As a souvenir from Hakata, these donuts are not fried but baked, especially popular among women who think it's healthy and won't make them gain weight. Some people let their husbands go to cheap barber shops, but they themselves go to expensive beauty salons in Fukuoka's Tenjin area every month. When they go, they enjoy buying something at the department store to bring back home. These donuts cost around 100 yen each, and the person bought about 10 of them. The taste is said to be not too sweet, moist, and with a hint of egg sweetness. They would eat 3 at once and warm up the leftovers in the microwave the next day. After eating, they always lie down and rest as a habit. It seems like they often buy these as souvenirs. Despite their love for them, they don't lose weight at all because they eat too much, according to the person who doesn't eat them.

This shop sells famous Kagoshima sweets "Karukan" and "Kasutadon", but "Hakata Donatsu" is especially recommended. It is not fried, so it is not too heavy, and has a sweet aroma that is simple and very delicious. The plain flavor is also delicious, but I recommend the rum raisin flavor. You can buy it hot and fresh, and it is also delicious when it cools down. There was also a unique chocolate flavor with a special package for Valentine's Day.

Repurchase Hakata Dounatsu - freshly baked - 80 yen + tax It's strange that the freshly baked ones are cheaper! So plump Saigoudon - 74 yen + tax The big, big round bread has too much eating satisfaction!!! Due to Corona, Fukuoka is quiet, and Mitsukoshi also had few customers. Maybe that's why? The expiration dates are shorter than usual (because they're not selling well?) and I had trouble finding souvenirs to buy...

At Mitsukoshi, there is a shop demonstrating freshly baked treats. "Yakitate Dounatsu" is 86 yen for a plain one, with some made on the spot. They are cheaper than the regular ones and extra fluffy. "Dorayaki Don" and "Dojou" are both 108 yen. "Hagino Tsuki" is a soft manju with agar jelly for 120 yen plus tax. The "Shittori Dounatsu" is 99 yen, baked so it's not heavy and has a good shelf life. It's not incredibly delicious, but it's addictive.

There was also a Satsuma Jyukiya store on the 2nd floor of Fukuoka Mitsukoshi. I didn't know there was a store in Mitsukoshi. It's more convenient when staying in Tenjin or Nakasu. They bake inside the store, so you can buy freshly baked items. The glass windows allow you to see the baking process. I bought a freshly baked Dounatsu (80 yen). Freshly baked goods are always good, they are soft and delicious. I made sure to buy souvenirs at the airport store.

I really like the custard and caramel donuts at this shop, but the baked donuts are also quite impressive. I often end up buying them on my way home from work. Since they are not fried, I don't have to worry too much about gaining weight even if I eat them. They have added more varieties now - butter, chocolate, strawberry, black sesame, and plain. And with all of them priced under 100 yen, you don't feel guilty about indulging in these donuts at all.

I'm in Fukuoka. In the basement of Tenjin, Fukuoka Mitsukoshi, I found this shop while looking for Fukuoka souvenirs. I already got some mentaiko, so maybe I should look for something sweet next? As I was browsing, I came across this shop called "Satsuma Jokkiya"... which feels more like Kagoshima than Fukuoka. However, I couldn't resist stopping by because I love their Karukan and Castella, which I've had before. I noticed a new item called "Yaki Donatsu" that I had never seen before, so I ended up buying both the freshly baked plain one and the pre-packaged rum raisin flavor. The freshly baked one was crispy, slightly sweet, and delicious without any strong flavors. The rum raisin one had a moist and fluffy texture, and was also very tasty. The staff seemed a bit disorganized, maybe because the shop was busy, which was a bit disappointing. But if I come across this shop at another event, I will definitely want to buy from them again.

Sakurajima steamed buns and Custard Dons are popular at "Satsuma Jokkiya" in Kagoshima, and they also have a branch at Fukuoka Mitsukoshi B2F. As customers lined up one after another, I was drawn to join the queue. The freshly baked Hakata Dounatsu is cooked in a glass case, surrounded by a variety of items such as Karukan and Custard Dons. The healthy baked Dounatsu, cooked without oil, was continuously being made and looked deliciously hot. I bought three and enjoyed them right away. They were hot and had a sweet aroma, with a moist and fine texture and simple sweetness. I reheated the rest at home. It's recommended as a souvenir or a healthy snack. Thank you for the meal!

It's better fried.

Kasutadon is a famous shop known for their donuts. I've known about this shop since I was young because it's a popular souvenir from Kagoshima. But when they opened a branch in Nakasu and I tried their baked donuts, I got hooked! I've lost count of how many times I've bought them. They are affordable and delicious! They make great souvenirs as well. They are not too sweet, moist, and not fried in oil, so you can eat 2-3 without feeling guilty. Healthy baked donuts. Highly recommended!

"Sattsuma Jokkiya" located in the basement of Mitsukoshi department store. Originally a shop selling Kagoshima's karukan, and more recently a shop selling kasutadon, but now they mainly offer freshly baked donuts. One donut costs 86 yen. They are not too sweet, have a nice crunch, and are recommended to eat while still warm. I have been enjoying them since trying them in Nakasu before. They are perfect for a light snack when you're feeling a bit hungry. During lunchtime, there can be quite a line.
