CRUSCANA. Bought lobster and salmon ^_^ Also got a few types of biscuits. Couldn't find my favorite wheat germ crackers though. Surprisingly, they have them at regular supermarkets. Oh well (＾ν＾) Lobster has a light whipped texture, with a sharper saltiness and a good lobster flavor. Salmon has a mild saltiness, but the salmon aroma makes up for it. Classic pate. Sometimes I crave something like this (о´∀`о) Wish there were more options though. Only tried these two items this time. The lineup might change if I go again ☆★

◉Genre: Coffee, Wine, Seasonings, Retort ◉Area: Uomachi, Kokurakita-ku, Kitakyushu City ◉Access: 6-minute walk from JR Kokura Station ◉Parking: None (Coin parking available nearby) ◉Credit card payment: Available ◉Frequency of use: Multiple times ◉Number of reviews: 1st visit On this day, I casually visited "Kaldi Coffee Farm Kokura Uomachi Store". ◇Exterior and Interior This coffee shop is located in the Gintengai area of Uomachi in Kokurakita-ku, Kitakyushu City. It is a nationwide chain born in Tokyo, known for not only coffee but also various seasonings, spices, wines, retort foods, instant products, and more. ◇Seating Takeout only. ◇Menu Composition There are various types of coffee available, but the lineup of other products is extensive. Seasonings and spices range from Chinese to Italian, French, and beyond, with a good selection of cheese and wine. Additionally, they offer snacks, cup noodles, and soup bases. The items ordered were as follows: ・One Bite Salmon Roe Cheese (348 yen) → Including tax. The purpose of the visit was to buy sausages, which I have been into lately, but unfortunately, they were out of stock. So, I came across this product. In simple terms, it is cheese with finely chopped salmon roe mixed in, providing texture and saltiness. As indicated with "wasabi flavor," there is a subtle hint of wasabi. It may be a balance-focused product with a tiny amount of it. This is good as it goes well with any type of alcohol. ◆Strong Points I regularly purchase classic items while occasionally trying out new products like the one mentioned above. ◆Customer Service Always polite. ◆Summary Although the sausages were not available, it was a nice encounter with a new product. Not bad at all! Thank you for the meal.

Almond tofu candy for 170 yen [Energy 14kcal Carbohydrates 3.5g] Rapunzel mulled wine (white) for 987 yen. It's rare to have almond tofu candy & I bought it with the idea of having hot wine before going to bed. It was just a visit to kill time. The candy really tastes like almond tofu. It's quite strong, which is obvious but still surprising. The wine is sweet. Suica can be used.

La Maison d'Almorine Salted Butter Caramel for 540 yen [Energy 209kcal Carbohydrates 36g]. Most of the time, the genre at Kaldis is "other," but this particular one is a coffee specialty shop. So, I decided to stop by and check it out. I was open to anything, but I chose the salted caramel because it fits easily in my bag. It's delicious. It reminds me of the popular Hanabatake Farm caramel from a while back. It's also great as a small gift. They accept Suica.

There are so many delicious late-night snacks, appetizers, and snacks at Kaldi, right? I often buy canned smoked oysters in oil, crispy rice crackers, bulk walnuts, and crushed barley tea, especially in the summer. Since trying it for the first time around the end of the year, I've been hooked on this spicy sesame noodle dish. I'm usually hesitant to try foreign-made foods because sometimes they have really strange flavors, so I only buy them if they have a good reputation. This one was made and sold domestically, so I felt safe trying it out. Just pour boiling water, wait 4 minutes, drain, add the seasoning oil and powder, mix well, and it's ready. Despite being called "spicy," it's actually quite mild and not too spicy. The main flavor is seafood, and it's surprisingly mild despite the name. The noodles are chewy and soft. It's slightly spicy, but if you're not averse to spicy food, you can handle it. The spiciness mainly comes from the powder, so you can adjust it to some extent. It's thick and rich, making it perfect for late-night cravings, and the portion is small, so I usually have it as a late-night snack. I usually add chili oil halfway through for an extra kick. It goes really well with chili oil. Since the spiciness is really mild, I wonder if adding Sichuan pepper would make it even better (I'll try it next time). This time, I added some leftover watercress and shredded red chili pepper on top of the tuna salad. The watercress adds a nice crunch, but there's really just a tiny bit in there, so sometimes I chop up leftover cabbage or other leafy vegetables and throw them in before adding the hot water. If you're meticulous, you might blanch them separately and add them, but I find it too much trouble, so I just throw them in together and drain them together (laughs). If you have shrimp or something, you can make a deluxe version. Even these tiny shrimp add a great contrast to the slight spiciness and the sweetness of the shrimp. This seems to be a Kaldi original, so maybe it's more stable compared to other products that come and go. Kaldi has a tendency to have that bittersweet feeling of finding a delicious product that you can't find again, but this one was available at both Chacha and Uomachi. I'll continue to support it to prevent it from being discontinued.

The store was crowded with many customers, so the service was lacking. Today, I bought four drip-type drinks that cost 80-100 yen each. It was hard to walk around inside the store because there were so many customers, and when I asked the staff for help, they just pointed and said, "Over there." This time was a disappointment.

I bought the "Laksa Ramen" at the Caldi Coffee Farm in Sun Live City Kokura store and it was delicious, so I thought I would buy some more at the Caldi store in Uomachi while I was in the Kokura Station area. I received a complimentary hot coffee at the entrance, with plenty of sugar and milk. It was a bit hot though. I thought maybe I should have gotten black coffee instead, but I appreciated it. They didn't have the "Laksa Ramen" but it was available for order. Instead, I found the "Coriander Ramen". I had been searching for the popular Coriander Ramen that was always sold out at various places I checked online, but I found plenty on the day I purchased it. However, when I revisited later, I couldn't find it. It must be really popular. The "Coriander Ramen" cost 95 yen (tax included) and was very easy to make. Boil 350cc of water, add the seasoning oil and powder, then cook the noodles for 1 minute. Add the dried coriander and it's ready. I topped it with fresh coriander leaves. The soup was clear and had a clean taste with some umami. The noodles were thin and curly, not powdery, with a smooth and delicious texture. For a 95 yen bag of noodles, it was quite good. I also bought the "Type Resident Green Curry Noodle" for 98 yen (tax included) from Thailand. The noodles were typical cup noodles, but the soup had a slightly spicy taste of green chili and was quite spicy, with a noticeable sweetness that went well with the spiciness. It was quite tasty for 98 yen. I also bought the Yuzu Pepper for 321 yen (tax included) from a company called Moheji in Tokyo. It had a refreshing and smooth taste with a hint of saltiness and spiciness, making it suitable for everyone. Caldi Coffee Farm is a fun place with a variety of interesting items. I look forward to trying their main coffee next time.

Well, I came to Kokura and found a Caldi store. I was looking for some snacks to have with my beer at night, and I found almonds, cashew nuts with black pepper flavor, and cheese and croutons for 216 yen tax included. The cashew nuts with pepper were tasty, and the cheese was small but delicious. It would go well with wine too. Thanks for the meal! Release February 2016. Nankaihawks1's Gourmet Guide.

Caldi Coffee Farm Ogura Uomachi Store is a fun store where you can find a variety of imported food ingredients. The other day, I got my hands on the pasta, Mileregge, needed for the spell dish "Mileregge alla panna con i broccoli" at Chachatown, but I had forgotten to buy cloves. (Even if you're not good at cooking, adding herbs can make it taste decent, so I can't skip it.) This time, when I visited Restaurant Takayama again, I heard about the coffee service and found out that they also have a store in Uomachi. It's a Caldi store with nationwide locations, and they have the same product lineup. However, Mileregge was not available. Strange, strange. I found cloves at the PB brand spice corner in Caldi and purchased them. I also bought "kinako nejiri," which seemed to go well with dandelion coffee. This is a snack made by solidifying kinako with water and syrup, and it goes well as a side for black coffee. I couldn't resist buying it again because of the coffee service. It's the perfect store to source ingredients for spell dishes. However, I won't be making Nodame curry. (Inside joke) Thank you for the meal. (Namaste) No, Umbrella.

I have been visiting this place since 2014! I often go to Kemono Michi and buy various things - please refer to the photos (thank you♪). I have been a frequent visitor since July 2013 (I'm a regular here)... Recently, I purchased a curry that has been getting a lot of buzz. ★ Butter Chicken Curry (retort) 350 yen. I'm a fan of Royal Thai, but I might like this too! It has a mild spiciness and a creamy texture. The acidity of the tomatoes and the creaminess work well together! I always add lots of vegetables and make a curry stew (laughs♪). During my first visit in September 2012... I recently visited the Kalita Coffee Farm Chachatown Kokura Store, but there is also one in Kokura Uomachi Gintengai (opened on 9/27)! It is currently having a sale. You can enjoy a coffee tasting at the entrance while leisurely shopping. This time, I bought... ★ Women's Hand Fair Trade Coffee (usually 637 yen for 200g, now 573 yen on sale). It is a medium-roasted coffee with a good balance of acidity and bitterness. I personally like Guatemalan beans (★★3.3). It's affordable and perfect for everyday use (laughs). I also bought various other items... - Prosciutto (recommended by a fellow reviewer, also on sale) - Salsa sauce (with lots of vegetables, great for pizza toast) - Chunky peanut butter (lightly sweetened with chunky peanuts - delicious and high in calories) - Caramel cookies (crispy and delicious, often served at coffee shops) I went shopping again yesterday and found even more affordable items... Some shelves were empty (laughs). The B1 Grand Prix was being held over the weekend, so the streets of Kokura were bustling with even more people. By the way, I lost my motivation as soon as I saw the crowd at B1 (sweat). I had to readjust my course (laughs). The location of the store is very convenient. There are also many items that would go well with alcohol - highly recommended for men as well (Boss, how about it?). They also have a variety of popular foreign snacks for children. I went with my daughter and ended up buying a lot... or rather, we happily bought a lot (because everything is so cheap, laughs). The opening sale is until 10/31 - hurry and check it out! About Fair Trade: Fair trade involves fair and just trading with producers and workers in developing countries at appropriate prices. It aims to improve living standards, promote self-reliance and support, and create a fair and poverty-free society. A quick note: You can have the coffee ground to your liking.
