When I bought bread from Ichimonji at Hirao, my wife had bought bread from Kogawa-ya. There are many shops that are called high-end bread, and it seems like a boom, but the boom seems to have passed. It doesn't have much moisture and is firmly inflated, so it feels light and lacks a sense of luxury. It feels like it's not worth the price.

Located along the Yuyama Kanko Street in Nagao 5-chome, Jyonan Ward, Fukuoka City. This "specialty bread shop" was opened in December 2019. The main store is in Minoshima. Fukuoka seems to be in the "specialty bread shop" boom! Starting from the best-selling "Nogami" nationwide, there are already so many like "LA・PAN," "Hoppe ga Ochimarus," "Sakimoto," "Idainaru Hatsumei," and "Ginza ni Shikawa." It seems like it might reach a saturation point, but I want to try and compare which one is the most delicious. Their commitment is to make "real" bread. The answer they came up with was "grinding." They first focused on how to grind the flour. They selected several types of flour after careful consideration and experimented with different grinding methods to pursue the best combination. They added carefully selected butter, domestic rice syrup, and pure natural water while considering the temperature and humidity of the day, kneaded it, and matured the dough. This resulted in a unique "pull" in the dough. They pursued this until they were satisfied, then baked it with the right heat. The fine texture and exquisite melting sensation born from this process can only be achieved by experienced artisans. The butter also has an elegant aroma that will captivate your taste buds. The types of bread are "Specialty Original Bread," "Grape Original Bread," and "An Original Bread," each available in 2kg (880 yen) and 1.5kg (680 yen). Currently, there are three stores: the main store in Minoshima, Nagao store, and Kurume Torimachi store. As for the "delicious way to eat," I tried the "raw bread" first – it's delicious! Moist, chewy, fluffy, with a fine texture, and it's on par with "Nogami" in quality. Drizzling honey on the "raw bread" enhances its deliciousness even more! The next day, I tried toasting it, and while the surface was crispy, the inside remained moist, chewy, and fluffy just like the raw bread. I can't go back to regular bread now! Next time, I want to try the "grape" and "an" flavors. Thank you for the meal. Enjoy Pan Life☆

Located along the Yuyama Sightseeing Road in Jyonan-ku, Fukuoka City. If you continue south from Sasao Aeon, you will see Yamaden→Uniqlo on the left. A little further ahead on the right. There seems to be no parking lot. The menu includes 2 loaves of bread for 880 yen, 1.5 loaves for 680 yen, grape bread for 880 yen, sweet bean paste bread for 880 yen, and rusk for 280 yen. The 1.5 loaf was sold out, so I got the 2 loaves. First, I tried it as it is. When I opened the bag, the scent of butter wafted out. The bread is fluffy on the outside and soft inside. It doesn't have a chewy texture, more like chiffon cake. Even when toasted, it remains soft. There are many high-end bread shops these days, but I personally prefer bread with a yeast aroma that you can sink your teeth into. It's also a nice souvenir. Thank you for the meal.

It seems that high-end shokupan specialty stores are multiplying in Fukuoka as well, but is this your first time buying from a shokupan specialty store on the street? The shokupan is 2 loaves for 880 yen. (There is also a slightly smaller option for 680 yen.) I bought it and had it for lunch at home. It must be very soft because the middle part is a bit sunken. It's so soft that it's difficult to cut into 1 cm slices. The crust is also very soft, moist, and chewy. It has a considerable sweetness and a hint of buttery aroma. The wheat aroma is a bit weak. It's quite rich, so it's best to eat it as is without any butter. The next day, I tried toasting it... The surface becomes crispy, but the inside remains moist. The rich flavor is still there, but for those who like toasted bread, it may be lacking in a toasty aroma. I had the same impression when I toasted the frozen one.

High-end Shokupan "Kogawa-ya" Another high-end shokupan from "Kogawa-ya" is now open next to Lawson in Nagao, Jonan-ku. It is sold for 880 yen (tax included) per loaf (2 pounds) and only one type, plain, is available. It is also sweet and moist. I'm starting to not be able to tell the difference anymore~

This is a high-end bread specialty store located along the Yuyama sightseeing road in Nagao. I visited the store after my daughter mentioned that a bakery had a pre-opening along the Yuyama sightseeing road at the end of the year. The store only sells bread for takeout, specializing in high-quality bread loaves. I bought two loaves of bread as souvenirs for my home and a friend's house. Each loaf of bread costs 880 yen. The bread has a fluffy texture with a moist and smooth taste. It was freshly baked, so I tried it without toasting it first. It had a sweet and rich flavor. The store is located near the traffic light at Nagao 5-chome along the Yuyama sightseeing road. If you're interested, the store name is "Kogawa-ya High-end Bread." Address: 5-31-5 Nagao, Jonan-ku, Fukuoka City. Phone: 080-3376-5088. Business hours: 12:00-18:00. Closed on: None.

On June 11, 2023, I had the specialty whole wheat bread (1.5 lbs), double cream cubes, and more at the restaurant.

I bought a lot! I came with my family, and they were happy, which was great! It's heartwarming to see my niece enjoying the food so much! It makes me feel good to see that it was a good purchase! It's also recommended for a drive date, so definitely give it a try!
