First of all, the same store "Shokupan 428 Kurume Suwano Store" does not seem like a trendy high-end bread shop as the name suggests, but rather has a vibe more like a confectionery shop, especially since it is located next to "Oyatsuimo Yotsuya" with a connected name "428 (Yotsuya)". The interior of the store gives off a confectionery shop atmosphere with various options such as bread, sandwiches, baked sweet potatoes, and desserts. The location is within the premises of "The Big Kurume Suwano Store" along National Route 3. The parking lot used to be open for free access, but due to illegal parking issues, a new gate has been installed, although short-term parking is still free. The female staff member who assisted me was very friendly. I purchased the following items from the store this time: 1. Mixed Sandwich - 432 yen, 2. Thick Toasted Sandwich - 324 yen, 3. Coffee Honey Nut - 324 yen. The mixed sandwich had strawberries, kiwi, banana, and oranges with plenty of whipped cream, which felt a bit too much. I wished there were more fruits instead of the excessive whipped cream. The bread was dry and crumbly, but the abundance of whipped cream somewhat compensated for it. The thick toasted sandwich, while not overly sweet, had a slightly intense flavor due to the taro spread. The bread was moist, possibly due to being wrapped in a stylish English newspaper. The coffee honey nut was delicious as expected, with a light texture of coffee cream and crunchy walnuts. The sweetness was balanced with a hint of bitterness from the coffee. While I initially thought I only needed items 2 and 3, I felt compelled to buy the fruit sandwich, but in the end, it was unnecessary as it was quite ordinary. Overall, the taste did not differ much from what I could imagine based on appearance alone. Personal rating on Tabelog: 3.6
