"Nogami" in Hakushiro, and "Nogami" in Kuroyama Shokupan. They opened during the pandemic. They are a symbolic shop of the luxury shokupan boom. Despite the busy location with a lot of traffic, they are able to thrive. Stock seems to be limited in the afternoon. This time I tried the Kuroyama shokupan, 2 loaves for 972 yen. The fluffy softness is evident as soon as you cut into it. It stands out among luxury shokupan. - Shop Information: Nogami 092-410-9575 2-2-63 Wakahira, Higashi-ku, Fukuoka City Business Hours: 11:00-19:00, Closed on Wednesdays

This is a bakery that was chosen as one of the "Top 10 Delicious Bread Shops in Japan" along the Shiraoi National Highway. Here, you can purchase delicious freshly baked bread that is made with attention to each ingredient. On this day, after having lunch at a nearby udon restaurant, I bought bread here for breakfast. They offer 1kg and 2kg loaves of bread, as well as various other products. I purchased a 2kg loaf of freshly baked bread. The price was 864 yen for one 2kg loaf of bread made without any eggs. It is a heavy, fragrant bread with a soft texture that almost melts in your mouth. It is so delicious that it is better to eat it by tearing it apart rather than toasting it. The store is located along Shiraoi Street, in front of the Shiraoi Police Box.
