FAM, a curry bread specialty shop in Higashi-Gawacho. I stopped by for a snack! They had a lot of options today! I was intrigued by the collaboration with Tachibana Udon. On weekends, they offer Tachibana Udon Dashi Curry Bread for 250 yen and Tachibana Smoked Cheese Curry Bread for 300 yen. I asked the staff and found out that the udon isn't actually inside the bread, but the dashi is kneaded into the dough, using the curry from curry udon. I decided to try it along with a regular Kurume curry bread. I also bought some Malasada with sugar and kinako. I enjoyed them at home! The curry bread was crispy and delicious. The Tachibana Udon collaboration had a nice curry flavor, although I couldn't really taste the dashi. It wasn't too spicy and was easy to eat. After the spicy ones, I had the sweet Malasada with kinako. It was a chewy fried bread that was just right for a snack. Next time, I'll try the cream-filled one! Thank you for the meal.

I finally managed to go after not being able to go for a while. I was greedy and bought all the varieties! The curry breads were all delicious with a good level of spiciness. The bread itself was tasty, so we split them in half and devoured them. The Marasada was also delicious, with a fluffy texture and creamy filling inside. Everything was so tasty that I still want to eat more.

Nearby, while shopping, I stopped by "FAM" for a snack. The location is a little off 210 Bypass, along the road south of the supermarket, Joint. The shop has a large sign saying "Curry Bread Specialty Shop", below which there are unfamiliar characters saying "Malasada" and a photo resembling Mister Donut's Angel Cream. I parked in the front parking lot and headed towards the shop. It's a takeout-only shop, with a clear view inside through the large glass door. I waited for the previous customer to leave and then entered. While I thought it was a "Curry Bread Specialty Shop", there were other products displayed as well. When I asked the staff what "Malasada" was, they said it's fried bread. My purpose was the "Spicy Curry Bread (¥300, tax included)". I took it home, warmed it up in the toaster oven, and ate it. The buns were pitch black, and the curry inside was also black. The curry meat was shredded rather than chunky. The buns were soft and crispy, and the spiciness was not as strong as I expected from the "Super Hot" label. It was flavorful, but on the smaller side for the price, more like a snack size (for men). It looked good and tasted delicious, but in terms of value for money, it was just okay. Thank you for the meal.

I visited the curry bread specialty store FAM, which I learned about from a review where Mairebi-sama lined up on the opening day. It is located in a shared tenant space in Higashi Aikawa town, next to another popular spot called "From Sea to Sky" (which unfortunately was closed on the day I visited). The location may be a bit hard to find, so it's recommended to use navigation. Nearby, you can also find "Men-an Eito" and "Fudopan Senmonten Budopan," which I have reviewed before. Each store in the shared tenant space has its own designated parking area, so make sure to park in the space with the store's name. The area is prone to flooding, so I hope there was no damage from the recent heavy rain. The store operates in a face-to-face sales style, and when I entered, a young woman, possibly the wife, apologized for only having medium spicy curry bread available. The husband, or the man in charge, could be heard from the kitchen saying it would be ready in 5 minutes. Both of them seemed friendly. I am used to spicy food, so I prefer extreme spiciness. I bought the following items: 1. Sweet Curry Bread ¥250 2. Malasada Custard ¥200 3. Spicy Curry Bread ¥300 The sweet curry bread seemed to be baked, not greasy, with fine breadcrumbs and a hint of curry flavor in the dough. It was mildly spicy, suitable for children, but lacked a surprising element. The Malasada, not typical for a curry bread specialty store, was decent but lacked the expected sweetness and richness. The spicy curry bread, the highlight of my visit, had a rich and spicy flavor, reminiscent of demi-glace sauce. It was definitely the standout item, although it may not be suitable for those who dislike spiciness. Overall, I found the store to be typical except for the spicy curry bread, which I believe should be the main focus. I hope they can further refine their offerings and specialize in their signature items. My personal Eatery Rating is 3.3 out of 5.

I visited the curry bread specialty store FAM in Higashi-aikawa, Kurume City. The store opened just this year and I heard about it from a friend. I love curry bread. Nowadays, there are many stylish bakeries. This place is also stylish and beautiful. They offer sweet, medium spicy, and spicy curry bread, with sweet and medium spicy priced at 250 yen, and spicy at 300 yen which is a bit higher. The size was smaller than I expected. Well, as long as it's delicious, it's good. The taste was like a typical curry bread. The crispy texture was also average. The medium spicy was almost the same as sweet. The spicy was slightly spicy. The filling was normal, not too much or too little. It had a slightly mature taste of curry bread. Personally, I thought the price was a bit high. Thank you for the meal.

The size is small, but I felt that it was a bit small for the price. However, I could feel the thought put into it through the texture of the bread and the depth of the curry that hits you later. I was knocked out by the satisfaction that exceeded the size.

Curry Bread Specialty Shop - that's the catchphrase for "FAM" in Higashi Aikawa, Kurume City, Fukuoka Prefecture. I happened to see the new shop the day before and when I went in, the lady said, "We're having our grand opening tomorrow." She also told me that the opening time was 11:00, so I couldn't resist going. So, I arrived with determination at 10:12. Since the parking lot was small, I had to wait. (laughs) I ended up buying a snack at the convenience store in front for the first time in years. (laughs) Five minutes later, people started arriving one after another. Thirty minutes before opening, I couldn't wait any longer and lined up in front of the store. Soon, other cars started to arrive as well. (laughs) Ψ(￣∇￣)Ψ There were four of us at the front, including me, and we exchanged information about the new Mapo Tofu restaurant, ramen shop, seafood bowl shop, etc., while waiting in the cold. A few minutes behind schedule, the store opened and the four of us at the front rushed in. Oh, just to be safe, the second person asked the staff if it was too crowded. I ordered the following: Sweet Curry Bread - 250 yen, Medium Spicy Curry Bread - 250 yen, Custard Cream Malasada - 200 yen, Chocolate Cream Malasada - 200 yen. I avoided the spicy one because it seemed quite strong. (laughs) (￣∇￣*)ゞ In the meantime, others were taking lots of photos. Everyone seemed to be thinking the same thing. (laughs) (laughs) d(⌒ー⌒)! After being the first to get my order, I confidently walked out to find a decent line had formed. People really are quick with information. I went home to enjoy my food. The Sweet Curry Bread had a good curry flavor, but almost zero spiciness, with the sweetness and umami of the ingredients standing out. The Medium Spicy one had a similar aroma and flavor, with a moderate spiciness, making it an easy-to-eat curry bread. After finishing my meal, I felt that I somehow preferred the aroma and umami of the Sweet Curry Bread. I ended up liking the non-spicy curry bread. (laughs) (￣∇￣*)ゞ Also, the bread was quite firm, making it a bit difficult to cut for a clean slice. Probably because they use quality ingredients. (I felt a sense of elegance in the overall taste.) At 250 yen for this size, it might be considered slightly expensive in Kurume. If customers are satisfied with the price, I believe this product has the potential to attract repeat customers and regulars. Thank you for the meal. m(__)m P.S. The Malasada... I mean, the Malasada was offered at the Buddhist altar and remains uneaten. (laughs) (￣∇￣*)ゞI received some criticism for yesterday's review, so I completely rewrote today's content. m(__)m

The initial post was rejected, so I made a complete revision and reposted it, and it was uploaded in the original place. It's inconvenient around here. So, I will also post a review of the malasada that I hadn't tried at the time of revision. (^-^) The post-revision review that disappeared into the timeline will also be seen by others. (^-^) There are three types of malasada: ◇Plain Sugar for 150 yen, ◆Custard Cream for 200 yen, and ◆Chocolate Cream for 200 yen. I bought the custard and chocolate ones along with a curry bread. I had the curry bread as a snack, but I offered these as an offering on the Buddhist altar and had them as a late-night snack. (^-^) When I tried them, they were surprisingly heavy, maybe because they were cold, and the dough felt ordinary compared to the delicious cream. The curry bread had quite an impact, so it was a bit underwhelming, but it's a cream-filled donut with delicious cream. Thank you for the meal. m(__)m

My spouse and I had to wait quite a bit because there were only two people running the shop. Some items were sold out within 30 minutes of opening. They offer three types of curry bread: sweet, medium spicy, and spicy, each with different fillings and bread colors. The sweet one is not spicy at all, the spicy one is moderately spicy, but it doesn't taste as good when it's cold. The taste seems to diminish when the ingredients (filling) cool down, as they are mainly assembled with freshly fried ingredients. I think it's best to lightly heat them up in the microwave. I will go back when they start selling freshly fried ones again.
