I saw a post on Tabelog and decided to stop by on my way back from Yume Town. I bought grape juice, bacon cheese bread, sweet potato bread, and mixed berry bread. They were all fluffy and delicious. The grape juice didn't taste like grapes.

When I came to Kurume, I finally got to visit Budpun, which I had always wanted to go to! The exterior and interior of the shop exuded a love for grapes, which made me feel warm and cozy. I went in the evening, so there were hardly any bread left in the showcase, and I was worried that they might be sold out. However, it turned out that you had to order at the register. I bought the popular No. 1 salt Budpun and bacon cheese. They also had drinks, so I ordered 100% grape juice. While my bread was being wrapped, I noticed Budo curry bread at the corner of the showcase and got curious, so I bought it. They said the curry bread would take a little time, so I sat in the eat-in space, sipping grape juice and taking photos of the bread I bought. The owner apologized for making me wait, but I was soothed by the lovely atmosphere of the shop, and I actually enjoyed waiting. It was a wonderful shop that I definitely want to visit again!

After eating a seafood bowl, I stopped by a nearby bakery called "Budopan" (laughs). I looked it up and found that a few MyRebi users have visited. The staff took my order and I liked the personal touch. I bought grape bread for 150 yen, pineapple bread for 150 yen, and cheese bread for 150 yen. The bread dough seems to be the same, with different fillings inside. I was worried if they only had large sizes, but they seemed to anticipate customers like me and offered smaller sizes. Of course, they also had big ones, the size of a slice of bread, and some customers bought those. But I prefer smaller portions, so I got the three mentioned above. The image of the terrible grape bread I was forced to eat in elementary school disappeared instantly. The grape bread after many years was delicious. The pineapple bread and cheese bread were also tasty. Thank you for the meal. m(__)m

I was feeling a bit hungry, so I got a snack. I had a bacon cheese bread for ¥200 and a salmon cream cheese sandwich for ¥400. It was a face-to-face style bakery, like a cake shop. Even though I went to a grape bread specialty store, I didn't buy any grape bread, but they were selling grape bread there (lol).

I came across this local bakery while on my way to Komeda Coffee, and decided to stop by as it seemed popular with many cars in the parking lot. I initially thought it was a take-out bakery, but they also had a small dining area. I was looking for a regular bread like sandwich bread or French bread, but they were all too big. Instead, I chose their new item, the "Shine Muscat Fruit Sandwich for 600 yen," which was more like a fruit sandwich than what I had in mind. It was my first time trying a fruit sandwich. The sandwich was neatly packaged on a cute wooden tray, which I took to the counter to pay using my digital wallet. I then enjoyed it in their dining area. The packaging was a bit tricky to open due to its neat wrapping. The soft bread had almost no presence, with a generous amount of mildly sweet cream. The Shine Muscat grapes were cut in half, with 3 pieces on the top and 1 on the bottom, totaling 2 grapes. They were delicious, but the quantity was too little to make a strong impression. In the end, it felt like I had just eaten a lot of cream. If I have the chance next time, I would like to try a bread-like grape sandwich to see the specialty of this bakery.

Recently, various specialty stores have been opening, and it is clear that there are quite a few otaku customers. One such unique store that has opened is the "Grape Bread Specialty Store Budopan" (Budo Pan). After seeing positive reviews from MyRebi, I, who am not particularly a fan, became intrigued and decided to visit the store. Personally, I lean more towards disliking grape bread, especially during my childhood when I couldn't even eat it. I still have a slight aversion to dried fruits, and I don't understand why fresh fruits are dried. Additionally, when I ate dried fruits as a child, my chest would feel uncomfortable and I would feel dizzy, which made me want to run away just by looking at them. However, the problem was that dried fruits would often appear in school lunches, and I vividly remember desperately picking out the raisins. Looking back, it was a form of harassment, but most teachers believe that teaching the importance of food is part of education, even though forced consumption is pointless and could potentially make the situation worse. However, as one grows older, taste preferences often change, and eventually, dislikes disappear. I began to be able to eat dried fruits and eventually found grape bread tolerable, but I never actively sought it out. Nevertheless, I believe that overcoming food aversions can make life more enjoyable, so I wanted to learn to like grape bread. This led me to the perfect store for someone like me, the "Grape Bread Specialty Store Budopan." The store is located near Komeda Coffee on the south side of National Highway 210, likely in the former location of a 100-yen bread shop. The parking lot is on the left side of the entrance, with only one sign displayed, but I was informed that it was okay to park on either side. The opposite side has a sign for the neighboring store, so it's unlikely to cause confusion. Apart from sandwiches, the store sells bread from a display case in a clean and charming interior decorated with cute characters and grape colors. They also offer eat-in options, where you can enjoy freshly made grape bread with mascarpone. "Is this your first visit? In that case, I recommend our grape bread," said the friendly female staff member, who was not pushy at all. However, the recommended grape bread was a large one priced in the 400-yen range, which I couldn't eat, so I opted to try four smaller items from the display case, priced at 150-200 yen each. I purchased the following items to start with: 1. Grape Bread (150 yen) 2. Pineapple Bread (150 yen) 3. Cheese Bread (150 yen) 4. Salted Grape Bread (200 yen) The Grape Bread (1) seemed to be the standard choice, with the dried grapes not overpowering the flavor. The bread was more on the hard side, reminiscent of old-fashioned crusty bread, making it light and easy to eat with a sweet pastry-like texture. The Pineapple Bread (2) was unexpected, as I assumed it would contain both pineapple and grapes, but the pineapple was the dominant flavor, almost causing me to choke. The bread was likely the same as the Grape Bread (1), with a slightly crunchy texture from the dried pineapple.

"Budopan" is a grape bread specialty store that opened on April 29th in Higashiaikawa. It took over the location of the closed Imisaburo Seipan. It's rare to see a grape bread specialty store. My familiar chiropractor recommended it to me, even though I'm not a big fan of grape bread. I decided to check it out! The shop has a cute exterior and you can choose from several types of grape bread displayed in the showcase, which is hygienic. They offer various options like regular grape bread, raisin-packed, and premium versions. I purchased a regular grape bread for 420 yen and a dried fruit stick bread for 200 yen. The grape bread was soft and moist, with sweet grapes inside. Surprisingly, I liked it! It doesn't have the typical raisin flavor, so even those who don't like raisins might enjoy it. I also tried baking it. I prefer the bread crispy, but when baked, the raisin flavor and acidity become more intense! Personally, I prefer it unbaked. They offer different grape varieties and bread dough options, making it fun to choose from. It was a delightful experience.

Finally went to the grape bread shop! They had a lot of raisins in stock, and the bread was satisfying and delicious. I'll definitely be coming back!

Opened on April 29, 2022, "Budobudo Pan" is a grape bread specialty store that also offers sandwiches. You can dine in as well. I tried the "Budo Curry Pan," "Mascarpone and Grape Bread," and "100% Grape Juice" in the store. The curry pan is freshly baked after ordering, with crispy cheese and a perfect combination of sweet and rich curry with raisins. The Mascarpone and grape bread features a stick-shaped crispy raisin bread with Mascarpone cheese and honey inside, perfect for dipping. It's not too heavy, making it a delightful snack. I also took home the "Budou Pan Mashimashi," "Hako Pan 3 types," and "Korokoro Rusk," all of which were incredibly delicious. I highly recommend visiting this place before they sell out. It would make a great gift too. I will definitely visit again when I'm in the area. Thank you for the wonderful meal. #Kurume #KurumeSightseeing #KurumeCafe #KurumeGourmet #Saga #SagaGourmet #SagaLunch #SagaCafe #Chikugo #ChikugoCafe #ChikugoLunch #KurumeBakery #Budobudo Pan Grape Bread Specialty Store #RaisinBread #Fukuoka #FukuokaGourmet #Foodstagram #Foodie
