I stopped by to buy a pita bread for lunch. It's a cozy shop located on a mountain pass with a bakery and restaurant in a log house style. I got the pita bread I wanted and toasted it lightly when I got home, then cut it in half. I made a sandwich by filling it with lettuce, cheese, and chicken. The pita bread is thin but has a chewy texture, which balances well with the filling. It's satisfying and you can make two sandwiches out of one pita bread, making it a good deal. I also bought other bread like lemon cheese bread, and they were all good. Overall, it was a cheap and delicious bakery.

American blend with farm snack set. From the cabin-style interior, you can see cedar-covered mountains, and time flows leisurely.

I bought only bread this time, although there seems to be an eat-in corner as well. - Elder Rusk (270 yen): A rusk made with rye yeast and walnuts, scented with elderflower soaked in white wine. - Camembert Bagel (170 yen): A chewy bagel made with Danish Camembert cheese and sweet sake bread, also using rye yeast. - Yame Tea Bread (160 yen): Made with eggs, butter, and milk. My daughter had it for breakfast. I considered buying the "Headmaster's Bread" (apparently recommended by the headmaster), but decided against it. I now regret not buying it, as it could have been frozen. It's not too far away, so I'll make sure to get it next time. I also want to try the eat-in corner. Thank you for the meal!

Visited a restaurant around 11 am on a weekend, and there were customers coming in one after another. The izakaya in front of me was where I decided to have lunch. According to the sign, they were supposed to open at 11 am, but they were still preparing, and when I asked, they said they would open at 11:30. I decided to wait and looked around. It was quite pleasant, and the cherry blossoms were in full bloom. Across the street, I saw a sign for Wakasa Farm. Curious, I noticed that cars were constantly coming and going in front of the building. The sign mentioned bread, which caught my partner's attention, so we decided to visit. Since we were coming from Fukuoka to Itoshima along a busy road, we crossed over to the building where various vegetables were also being sold. Inside the building, there were various types of bread displayed. My partner was busy choosing, so I looked for a sandwich bread but couldn't find any, so I settled on a tomato bread. The cafe next to the bakery was supposed to open at 11:30, where we could eat inside, but we had plans to visit Marimo-ya at that time, so we decided to take our bread to go. The bread was delicious, with a chewy texture and a hint of sweetness from the dried tomatoes. My partner immediately asked to go back again, but the croissant, which they love, was not to their liking. Thank you for the meal!

This is a shop located after crossing Hinata Pass from Itoshima direction, a little below the summit. There are always many cars parked. Today, there were 2-3 parking spaces in front of the shop, so I decided to stop by. It's Saturday around 2:30 PM. [They are currently only open on weekends and holidays]. In front of the shop, there are vegetables and rice displayed on platforms, and inside the glass sliding door at the back, they sell bread. I bought several kinds of bread and also visited the nice miscellaneous goods and cafe space. Since I had time, I decided to have a coffee. There are four groups of customers ahead of me. They were out of iced coffee, so I ordered a strong Hinata Coffee (hot) and an Americano (both tax included for 420 yen each). It was a hot day, but the cool breeze in the shade was pleasant as I enjoyed my coffee at an outdoor table. Both coffees, especially the Americano, had a strong aroma from lightly roasted beans and were very delicious.

In Fukuoka City's Nishi Ward, there is a popular bakery located on a mountain pass. Today, I visited "Wakasa Farm" bakery. Surrounded by luxury cars such as Mercedes and Jaguar, this bakery has a rural charm. They offer around 20 different types of bread, and I purchased walnut bread, raisin bread, chocolate croissant, and red bean paste bun. The bread has a simple and delicious flavor, highlighting the natural taste of the ingredients. Despite the lack of flashy flavors, the bread was very tasty. It's a bit strange to see luxury cars lined up at this quiet bakery on a mountain pass. Address: 812-11 Yoshitake, Nishi Ward, Fukuoka City. Expert satisfaction rating: 80 points.

This is a bakery located on the way from Nishi Ward to Hinata Pass, open only on weekends. I stopped by this shop on my way back from work at a nursing home in Itoshima on weekend mornings. In the café, freshly baked bread is lined up on the weekend mornings, and there are also many cute accessories for sale inside the store. There is also a balcony seat where you can enjoy the bread while bathing in the pleasant breeze outside the shop. I bought bread for breakfast the next day from the many varieties of bread lined up. On this day, I bought three types of bread. Grape croissant for 170 yen. A bread with freshly picked grapes baked on top of a crispy croissant dough. Cranberry cream cheese bread for 180 yen. A bread dough kneaded with cranberries and filled with rich cream cheese. Cream bread for 150 yen. It is filled with plenty of homemade custard cream inside. The shop is located on the way from Kin to Hinata Pass. Wasaka Farm Address: 812-11 Yoshitake, Nishi-ku, Fukuoka City TEL/Reservation: 092-811-4524 Business hours: 11:30-18:00 (Bread sales start at 10:00) Open only on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays.

At the top of Hinata Pass, there is a bakery that also sells organic vegetables and operates as a cafe. It is only open on weekends (Friday, Saturday, Sunday) and has a warm wooden interior that exudes elegance. The terrace seating area is airy and relaxing, although during the summer, insects may fly around. One Sunday, I decided to challenge myself and drive to Hinata Pass in my beloved car. Despite the fact that it was only an hour's drive from my home, I found myself climbing up the mountain road. Just when I was about to turn back, I spotted a sign. Excited, I continued to climb a few more minutes until I reached a log-style building in a slightly open area. However, my excitement quickly turned to disappointment when I saw a "Tenant Wanted" sign. As I was feeling dejected, a car pulled over on the roadside. I absentmindedly followed the car with my eyes and realized that the shop was located there. I immediately followed the car and entered the shop. Inside, there were various types of bread displayed in small quantities. To the left of the entrance were locally grown vegetables, while to the right were the terrace seating and a gallery area. I engaged in some small talk with a customer and discreetly selected a few pieces of bread. I decided to take a break inside the shop and ordered the original blend coffee (450 yen). They offered to warm up the bread if you wanted to eat it in the shop, so I selected one piece and requested it to be warmed up. Although the interior of the shop was cozy and inviting, I was sweating profusely and felt bad about sitting down, so I pretended to enjoy the view and moved to the terrace seating. The view was not particularly scenic, but the breeze was pleasant. I sat down and enjoyed the slightly bitter blend coffee paired with the sesame-flavored crispy bread. It was a simple yet satisfying combination. I apologize for being all sweaty, I promise to come by someone else's car next time. By the way, have you noticed how sporty all the cyclists riding on the mountain road are?

I found this place by chance on my way back from Itoshima. It was raining and the location was a bit hidden in the mountains, so I couldn't see the whole picture clearly. It's a two-story building with a vegetable market on the first floor and a bakery on the second floor. The bakery sign is a bit dim, so it might be hard to notice unless you're specifically looking for it. I visited in the evening, so there weren't many bread options left. I bought my favorite scone. The interior has bread right at the entrance, and lots of miscellaneous goods in the back. To the left of the goods is the kitchen and cash register, and to the right is a café space. The café area is separated by glass doors, allowing for comfortable conversations. The shop is located on a mountain pass surrounded by nature, offering a peaceful atmosphere. Next time, I'd like to enjoy the café. As for the scone I purchased, it wasn't as dry as it looked. It was simple and delicious.

[11/05/05: Full Bloom of Azaleas] On the way to the pottery exhibition at Bakuyou during the consecutive holidays, we stopped for lunch. From inside the restaurant, we could see the blooming azaleas spreading across the mountainside. I chose a cheese bread and a tomato bread. The homemade natural yeast bread was as delicious as ever, and the tomato bread with chopped dried tomatoes had a subtle tomato flavor. They also served us a vegetable pickle with pumpkin, lotus root, carrot, burdock, and bamboo shoots. The tangy flavor and crunchy texture of the vegetables were a new experience. For coffee, I ordered the Hinata Blend, named after the Hinata Pass, with a farm-grown snack, chocolate cake. I also got a few anpan and took them to enjoy over the pass. [10/06/13: Over the Hills and Far Away] Today, let me guide you to a healing space. Please enjoy the photos. A family of four went on a drive together. Although we wanted to see the Imari exhibition at the Kyushu National Museum the other day, we had to make up for a past mistake. Our destination was a bakery in the mountains on the outskirts of Fukuoka City, not a field. The light rain that had been falling cleared up, and we enjoyed a comfortable drive through the post-planting rural landscape. We were there for the bread, especially the delicious homemade natural yeast bread. Recently, we've also been able to enjoy Chiba-chan's coffee, so I ordered the Mandheling blend. Anpan with sweet potato paste, cream bread with homemade cream that melts in your mouth, and a refreshing pizza with just the right amount of cheese and a touch of Tabasco. Since it's a farm, they also have crops like grapes, which were tasty even though it's not the season. The homemade ginger ale was also delicious, although it's out of season as the ginger has just been planted. They also have herbs, and my wife was delighted to purchase Roman chamomile and clary sage. A daydream without waking up.

Hinata Pass's "Wakasa Farm" is surrounded by forests, making it a place full of negative ions. I wish I could have sat on the outdoor terrace if it hadn't been raining. The raindrops making the leaves of the trees glisten is also nice though. The bread here is simple and delicious. They also sell miscellaneous goods, and I bought a "Taiwanese scissors"! It has a soft form but a delicate and sharp tip, making it cool. It's a very lovely space that makes you forget about the hustle and bustle of the city.

As you climb up Hinata Pass from Sawara Ward, you will come across a big curve where a building is located. The surroundings are full of forests and mountains, creating a great atmosphere. When you go inside, you will see bread lined up behind sliding doors. There are so many choices that it's hard to decide, but I ended up choosing my favorite whole grain bread with walnuts. It has a unique taste, maybe due to a different type of yeast. The bread itself is delicious, and when I topped it with bacon and eggs last time, they complemented each other perfectly and tasted really good. The cream bread was also moist and tasty, so I look forward to trying a different bread next time.

I highly recommend the bakery at Hinata Pass. I absolutely love their Grubie. The balance of olive oil, herbs, and salt is excellent! Plus, the texture of the bread is just perfect for me. They are only open on weekends, so it's hard to find the right timing when I'm working, which always leaves me feeling frustrated. The small miscellaneous items they have in the café are irresistibly cute. I recently found a calendar made of handmade Japanese paper and bought it right away. The vegetables they sell in front of the store are also fresh and delicious. Everyone, please go and check it out!

There is a traditional Japanese-style shop along Hinata Pass that is only open on Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays. They have a dining area as well. I purchased an anpan, a groovy, and a cream pan this time. The anpan had a fluffy texture with a mildly sweet red bean paste filling. The groovy was like a pretzel with a simple flavor of herbs, salt, and olive oil. The cream pan had a soft dough and a creamy filling that was smooth and delicious.
