The dorayaki in the showcase all looked delicious and just looking at them raised my spirits! They were a bit small and not too sweet, so I could easily eat them and they were delicious ❤︎ The shaved ice could be reserved by time slot, so there was no need to wait in line, which was great! It was also fluffy and delicious!!

I love the atmosphere around here. It's so peaceful. I heard rumors about it and decided to come try the dorayaki. Honestly, I didn't know much about it before. There was a variety of dorayaki lined up. In the end, the pistachio one was crispy and delicious. The dough and the filling were both tasty. The dough was soft. Even the simple dorayaki like this one can be elevated to a cake-like impression with this kind of customization!! I will definitely go back again.

I came back to my hometown and took my grandma out for shaved ice. Hmm, there are a lot of elderly people in Yoshii Town, so I wish they had considered that and made the shop a little more elderly-friendly. The tables were wobbly and the shaved ice cups were also wobbly. It was hard to eat even for young people. It wasn't particularly delicious either. But, I made another memory with my grandma♪

I have been curious about this place for a while now, so today I decided to stop by while attending my niece's game nearby. It is located just a short distance from Shirakabe Street, right next to a square. It's convenient for those heading to Mocca for bread as well. It was my first time here and I couldn't decide what to get, but ended up purchasing the salt butter, caramel pudding, Basque cheesecake, and red bean with mascarpone. The dorayaki had a soft skin and the cream was not too heavy, and the red bean was absolutely delicious! I could feel their commitment to quality ingredients. Everything was so delicious, thank you for the meal!

This is "Kichikoko" in Yoshii Town, Ukiha City, Fukuoka Prefecture. It is located inside the tourist hall called "Kura". The first time, I had to leave because the opening hours listed on Tabelog were incorrect and it was too early. The second time, they were closed due to the upcoming holidays. I can't believe it. (T^T) And on the third try, I successfully made a purchase. (^-^)/ - Paris Choco 240 yen - Anko and Mascarpone 240 yen The dorayaki was smaller than I expected, but it looks really nice. d(^-^) Yeah, it was delicious. (^-^)/ Thank you for the meal. m(__)m I will come again. (*^▽^*)

In tourist spots, sweets that you can eat while walking are popular. This dorayaki with strawberry and cream for 240 yen is affordable. It was crowded with people lining up, so I bought it, but I wonder. It felt like I could make it at home because it's just a regular dorayaki with strawberry and cream. It was good that fresh strawberries were inside.

I went for a revenge at Kichikoko's shaved ice, which I had to give up last time due to lack of time. This time, I left early, reserved the shaved ice first, and then went to have lunch. I reserved the 1 PM slot, so I had some time to spare. I ordered the shaved ice with peach because peach is the best, right? It was filled with plenty of peach inside and I was satisfied. They also had a souvenir corner with Kichikoko's dorayaki, with various flavors. I bought all flavors for now, will enjoy them as a snack tonight. Thank you for the meal! 🍧

I recently visited Kichikoko in Ukiha City, which I had seen on Instagram and was curious about. The location is inside the Ukiha City Tourist Association, with a narrow road but ample parking. People were already waiting in their cars in the parking lot for the 12:00 opening time. When I joined the line 15 minutes early, more and more people got out of their cars, and within no time, about 10 groups were lined up behind me. The dorayaki was smaller than I expected, with a diameter of about 15cm and priced around 250 yen each. Since the store is small, only one group can enter at a time to make a purchase, and there are about 10 varieties available, so it's recommended to decide on your choices before visiting. There are two main types of dorayaki: anko (red bean paste) and cream. The anko dorayaki can be kept at room temperature, but the cream dorayaki needs to be refrigerated, so bringing a cooler box is necessary. It might be a nice little souvenir to bring back.

I stopped by this cafe on my way to visit the Hina dolls in Yoshii on a regular day. Due to the impact of the new coronavirus, they were only offering takeout service and not allowing dine-in. The cafe is located in a corner of the building with the word "kura" written on it. The atmosphere inside was not very impressive, with tables and chairs lined up. As I was looking around, I noticed a sign that said "Limited to 50 pieces from 12 o'clock," so I ended up buying the Caramel Pudding Dorayaki Cake for 260 yen. When I tried it at home, the slightly firm pudding with a bitter caramel sauce had a sophisticated taste, and the combination with the cream sandwiched in between was quite interesting. The dorayaki skin was fluffy and wrapped the pudding nicely. I highly recommend this. It's likely to sell well.

In the midst of the rain, we went on a bakery and traditional Japanese sweets shop tour. After checking out the sweets shop with my companion, we took a break at a dessert shop called Kichikoko. The shop, located in a corner of the tourist association, had a cozy atmosphere. The customer service was excellent, with friendly smiles. I had a hard time deciding, but ended up choosing a salted butter and caramel pudding dorayaki. I enjoyed it inside the shop. The combination of pudding and caramel was exquisite, and the salted butter was a perfect choice. The sweetness was just right and left a lingering delicious taste. I will definitely stop by to try different varieties next time.

The "Kichikoko" shop, located in the Tourist Center Dozou, specializes in dorayaki and doracake, as well as selling antique goods. On this day, I purchased the following two items (prices include tax): - Salted Butter Dorayaki (Kichikoko's most popular item) - 220 yen - Milk Tea Custard Doracake - 240 yen The Salted Butter Dorayaki is a fluffy pancake with a restrained sweetness red bean paste filling and butter cubes as an accent. The Milk Tea Custard Doracake has a milk tea cream with custard filling, with a relatively clear sweetness. The sizes are surprisingly small, and I finished both quickly. The packaging was thoughtful, with ice packs included. However, despite the focus on quality ingredients, the prices felt a bit high for dorayaki. It seems challenging to differentiate from other similar products. While the shop is very popular, it didn't quite hit the mark for me. Thank you for the meal!

Honestly, I thought 280 yen for a dorayaki was expensive because it's so small. But when I tried it, it was a splendid sweet treat. You can see the attention to detail in their work, and now I want to try all the varieties.

They were sold out but made it for me. Only 200 yen each!

It was a dorayaki with a wide variety of flavors and a generous portion. Personally, I found it a bit too sweet.

The cafe is located near the Ukiha Tourist Center. On this day, I went for lunch deep in the mountains of Ukiha and decided to stop by here to buy some dorayaki to take home. However, when I went to the store, there was a sign saying that they were operating inside the Ukiha Tourist Center. So, I had to go back to the "Dozou" in the tourist center. Inside the Dozou, the store was open, and I was able to buy the dorayaki I was looking for. I chose three different dorayaki for my family: Tsubuan for 200 yen, Uji Kin Toki for 220 yen, and Matcha and Chocolate for 240 yen. The store is now operating inside the Ukiha Tourist Center. Address: 1051-1 Yoshii-cho, Ukiha City. Phone number for reservations: 090-3171-7125. Opening hours: 11:00-18:00. Closed on Mondays to Fridays.

This is a dorayaki specialty shop located in a nostalgic white-walled town. On this day, they had a temporary store open at the "Dozo" tourist information center in the Yoshii district of Ukiha City. Among several types of dorayaki, I tried the red bean paste dorayaki and the most popular salted butter dorayaki. The fluffy dough with a soft texture of red bean paste was delicious on its own, but adding salted butter gave it a different sweetness. I would like to try a different type of dorayaki next time.
