The famous confectionery from Iizuka has been in business for over 100 years. ◇No seating available. ◇Menu Composition In addition to the popular Hiyoko, they also offer other Japanese sweets such as dorayaki and yokan, as well as Western sweets like jelly and baked goods. The items I ordered are as follows: - Hiyoko's salt dorayaki (195 yen) → Including tax. I realized what would happen if I collided head-on with someone who weighs 30 kilograms more than me... It turns out the damage would be quite significant. Haha, I'm getting old... Retirement is near... Sayonara. After borrowing the parking lot, I stopped by this store to shop. I had been curious about the salt dorayaki, so I bought it. It seems to be a clear change-up, but when you eat it, you can definitely taste the salty red bean paste. And it's not too strong, the subtle saltiness is nice... Yeah, not bad. It might even be good for preventing heat stroke in the summer?! ◆Strong Points It has a surprising deliciousness! ◆Customer Service Polite. ◆Summary Sometimes a change-up can be good. Thank you for the meal.

I had always been curious about the Sakura Hiyoko. It's a spring-limited treat only available in Fukuoka. But when it comes to spring, nothing beats the Sakura-flavored An from Kogedou's Gion Taiko. At Sanribu Moritsune, you can find both Hiyoko Honpo Yoshinodo and Kogedou right next to each other. I went to Hiyoko Honpo Yoshinodo to buy some greeting snacks for my former workplace, and ended up getting some for myself too. The Sakura-flavored An from Gion Taiko is rich in flavor, but Hiyoko still tends to make your mouth dry. If only they had a Sakura version of Hiyoko's Financier... But for me, spring is all about Kogedou's Gion Taiko Sakura An!

[Hakata Hiyoko] Sofull (Milk Chocolate) 98 yen [Energy 110kcal Carbohydrates 15.4g] [Hakata Hiyoko] Sofull (Fukuoka-grown Amaou) 98 yen [Energy 111kcal Carbohydrates 14.9g] Almost ended up going to the new Sunlive where Hiyoko is not present, as if I can't go home empty-handed after coming out to Mutsunaga. The two Sunlive stores in Mutsunaga are too close in location, and it's confusing. Am I the only one? I bought two different versions of Hiyoko at the Sunlive City store the other day, so I completed the collection with different colors. Both have moist texture. The Milk Chocolate is regular chocolate, while the Amaou is white chocolate. The scent and taste of strawberries are quite noticeable in Amaou. The Amaou one was more delicious.

Usually, people using the Tabelog app to find restaurants would check in order of highest ratings, but I check from the bottom. In Mobuto, there is a chiffon cake shop called "Rainbow", which officially closes at 7 pm, but whenever I go around 5 pm, it's always closed, making it a difficult shop to conquer for working people. This day, I was able to leave work early, so I checked on Instagram to confirm that there was no information about it being sold out yet, and then I used my train fare to go to Mobuto, only to find that "Rainbow" was closed again. So, I scrolled to the bottom of the app to visit the shops with 0 reviews. However, one by one, the shops were nowhere to be found. I think they may have closed down, but I didn't apply for closure as the map registration might just be wrong. However, I found one shop, which might be considered an "unwanted catch" in fishing terms, but with financial power, it's faster to count from the top here. Mobuto's only shop with "registered, 0 reviews", I stopped by to try the famous confectionery "Hiyoko". However, there weren't many snacks suitable for the company's snack time. I've been tired of Hiyoko since I was a child, so I bought only one piece of the confectionery called "Hiyoko's Love". To put it bluntly, this is a hybrid theory of confectionery where the skin of "Hakata Torimon" is Hiyoko. The filling is not as sticky as "Torimon", but instead retains a sweet potato-like taste, making this more of a traditional Japanese confectionery. In terms of the M-1 Grand Prix, it's like saying "Magical Lovely is not a comedy duo! Mitorizu should have won!" By the way, it costs 90 yen per piece. This may be the cheapest post in my Tabelog review history, but well, considering I've eaten tens of thousands of yen worth of Hiyoko since I was a child, I'll let it slide.
