This is my go-to bakery that I find myself wanting to visit irregularly. Reasons why I want to go there: 1) The mentaiko (spicy cod roe) baguettes that are baked every 5-10 minutes! The freshly baked ones are crispy on the outside, soft on the inside, with the delicious flavor of mentaiko without being overwhelming. As soon as I enter the store, I ask, "When will the next batch be ready?" and place an order to pick up before leaving. It's a must-have bread. 2) They serve the freshly baked bread right away. While some bakeries these days only serve after it cools down, here they say, "It's freshly baked!" and bring out one after another, making you reach out for more. 3) The wide variety of menu options and never missing out on new items. Every time I visit, there are new types of bread that I haven't seen before, both savory and sweet. It's always exciting to taste them. Of course, each time, some are delicious. 4) Besides the mentaiko baguettes, they also have delicious staples like shokupan (white bread), croissants, crescents, cream bread, coronet bread, and more. Their fried bread, savory bread, donuts, and evolved savory bread are also great. 5) Although I didn't go this time, they also have eat-in exclusive items like salads, green curry, and soups. It's surprising how they have such a variety, but they are all tasty. I sometimes use it for a light lunch. Today's purchases at our home include mentaiko baguette, pizza bread, orange cream bucket, takoyaki bread, French toast, crescent, and omusoba sandwich, totaling around 2,000 yen. For a proper bakery, I don't think it's expensive. That's why I tend to buy too much, but I look forward to enjoying them as snacks, chilling in the fridge, reheating for tomorrow's lunch. Bon appétit!

I went to Boulanjerie Takasu, a bakery near Kasukabe Gakuken Toshi in Wakamatsu Ward. This shop is so popular that there are entry restrictions on weekends. Even on weekdays, the parking lot was almost full. I purchased the following three items: - Hamburger (tax included 420 yen): The patty is much thicker compared to major chain stores. The sauce is ketchup flavored, allowing you to taste the meat's umami directly. - Hibiki Bacon Egg (tax included 290 yen): Bacon slices and a fried egg are sandwiched in a panini, giving a light taste with the saltiness of bacon. - Healthy Sandwich (small) (tax included 290 yen): Thinly sliced teriyaki chicken and tomato are sandwiched together, creating a delicious combination of teriyaki sweetness, mayonnaise, and tomato acidity.

I have been a customer of this bakery for 30 years since it was a small shop. They offer a variety of freshly baked bread, and their sandwiches use high-quality ingredients. They also sell spaghetti, fried chicken, and other ingredients separately. The hamburger sandwich is particularly delicious. The prices have been going up, which is understandable, but I really hope they don't raise them anymore.

I usually go in the evening, so the selection is limited, but today I went for lunch. There were a lot of options, and I was torn, but I decided to try the curry bread with shrimp. When I took a bite, there was a crispy sound on the outside, and the inside was soft and chewy. Delicious! All the bread I've had here before has been tasty. I'm looking forward to finishing the rest. Thank you for the meal!

When I come to this area, I often stop by this popular bakery where there are always many customers. They have a wide variety of bread, making it hard to choose which one to get. I enjoyed all of them as they were delicious.

I visited around 8:00 am on 07/02/2023 and there were many customers since the morning. There were a variety of breads to choose from, and I had a Clubhouse sandwich which was delicious. Thank you for the meal. I will visit again.

This bakery has been well-known for a long time, even before the rise of social media, with word of mouth spreading far and wide. Relatives who live far away from the bakery have heard of it and make the effort to go there to buy bread. The interior of the bakery is set up with bread displayed in a circular layout, with a wide seating area and terrace at the back. The prices range from high-end to affordable, with some bread varieties available in two different options. The quality of the ingredients is reflected in the prices, giving the bakery a high level of trust. - Mentaiko France (450 yen): This is the most popular item, a delicious bread with a firm texture that allows the natural flavor of wheat to shine through. The mentaiko sauce is well-balanced with butter, not overly salty, allowing the bread to stand out. - Shokupan (1 loaf 230 yen): There are several types of shokupan available, where you can choose the number of slices you want. The bread is fluffy inside, with a slightly firm crust. - Hard Donut (120 yen): A simple yet delicious donut with plenty of sugar and a strong chewy texture. It's a unique take on the classic donut, and very addictive. Despite being busy with many customers, the staff are friendly, attentive, and provide excellent service. This bakery is not only a great place to eat, but also a place where you can understand why it's so popular. Highly recommended.

Definitely try buying it! As a salesperson, I always look for delicious items from various shops to prepare as gifts for customers. This French toast is highly praised to the point where customers even ask for the shop's name. The French toast is only 190 yen and they pack it for an extra 10 yen, which is greatly appreciated. If you reserve and specify a time, they will prepare it fresh for you. The consideration of having tongs and a basket for children is excellent!

Visited on Saturday around 7:50. The most popular item at Pan Kobo Takasu Fudo ◆ Mentaiko France ¥450 "We squeezed homemade mentaiko filling (mentaiko, butter, mayonnaise) into French bread and baked it until crispy! We can have it ready in 6-7 minutes for customers who want it freshly baked. Once you start eating, you can't stop! Be careful not to overeat!!" They ask if you want it cut for easy eating. I asked for it to be cut. It seems like the crispy Parisian feel has weakened over time. Maybe I should have asked for it freshly baked. It's a bit pricey. ◆ Beef Croquette ¥190 Crispy coating, moist and soft inside ♪ You can also order it freshly fried. ◆ Luxurious Condensed Milk Cream ¥260 Both the cream and bread are fluffy. The cream has a crunchy texture. It contains granulated sugar. Thank you for the meal.

Visited around 7:15 on Sunday. - Curry Bread $220: Fluffy dough. The curry inside has small but chewy pieces of meat. Mild spiciness. - Egg Roll $165: Soft yet slightly firm texture dough. The egg is soft and oozes out when bitten. - Brioche with Honey $130: Chewy dough. Honey and butter are infused in the dough. Thank you for the meal.

Visited around 7:50 on Sunday. There was a line at the cashier inside the store. - Baked Cheese Curry Bread ¥250 The curry sauce had a cheesy flavor. - Piroshki ¥225 A bread originating from Russia. Minced meat and vegetables sautéed slowly, flavored with sesame oil. The fried bread dough is fluffy, and it also contains glass noodles. - Walnut Danish ¥270 Plenty of crispy walnuts. Thank you for the meal.

Today I visited this shop. It was 11:30 am and there was a line outside. It must be because it's Saturday. It's a popular shop with a wide variety of bread. They all look delicious. I chose the German potato and cheese panini and a piroshki. By the way, last time I chose a curry bun and a bun with beef inside. The beef bun was not my favorite. The curry bun was just okay, normal but tasty. By the way, it seems you can also eat outside at this shop. There are a few terrace seats. [Tasting] The piroshki was okay, just normal and tasty. The German potato and cheese panini was good and filling. Thank you for the meal. I will visit again.

In the area of Wakamatsu in Kitakyushu City, there is a very popular bakery known for its delicious bread. It ranks high in the bread category on Tabelog. Even on weekdays, the bakery is always crowded, so you can imagine how busy it gets on weekends. They offer a wide variety of bread, with the most popular being the mentai France and maca chocolate. They also have cheese potato France and strawberry Danish, which all look delicious. You can order your bread and they will bake it for you on the spot, giving you a number tag. I tried the mentai France and maca chocolate, both of which were delicious. The mentai France had a crispy texture with a rich mentai cream filling, almost like cheese. The maca chocolate had macadamia nuts and Rocher chocolate inside a hard bread, giving it a great texture. They also sell items like fried chicken and spaghetti Napolitan. Overall, it was a great dining experience.

◎All the bread at this bakery has delicious dough! Pastries and savory bread that complement the deliciousness of the bread!◯Extremely popular with locals! A local bakery that has gained immense trust from the community! Looking for delicious bread in Kitakyushu. Located in an area with many houses, this shop is large both inside and in the parking lot.

If this bakery was near my home, I would definitely come here often. The locals are lucky to have this bakery. I would love to come back when I visit Kitakyushu again. ★Anpan Butter French (240 yen) The French bread is not too hard, but has a perfect firmness like a coppe bread. It has a good texture, and you can taste the richness of the wheat. The appearance may seem like there's too much butter, but it surprisingly has just the right presence. As a red bean paste lover, I enjoyed the filling as well. The sweetness is exquisite. It was the perfect balance of Anpan Butter French! ・Fromage (240 yen) A piece with cream cheese sitting right in the middle of Danish pastry dough. The Danish pastry has a strong buttery flavor. The dough also has a subtle sweetness from the wheat. The cream cheese inside is slightly sweet. This subtle sweetness enhances the sweetness of the wheat dough, creating an exquisite balance. It's delicious! ・Corn and Sausage Crispy Dog (240 yen) This one also has a wonderful balance. In this type of bread, mayo often dominates, but not in this case. And the sausage is crispy!! A crispy sausage with plenty of juice. It's delicious!

◉Genre: Bakery ◉Area: Koishiki area, Wakamatsu-ku, Kitakyushu City ◉Access: Approximately 20 minutes by car from JR Wakamatsu Station ◉Parking: Available ◉Credit card payment: Not available ◉Number of visits: Around 5 times ◉Number of reviews: 1st review On this day, I decided to visit "Boulangerie Takas" on a whim. ◇Exterior and Interior This bakery is located in Koishiki, Wakamatsu-ku, Kitakyushu City, near the Gakken Toshi area. The exterior resembles a Western-style log house, with a spacious parking lot that is divided into two sections. The interior of the store is well-maintained and the display is neat, indicating its popularity. ◇Seating During normal hours, there are terrace seats and eat-in seats available. ◇Menu They offer a variety of bread such as hard, soft, semi-hard, cooked bread, sweet bread, desserts, and sandwich bread. I ordered the following: - Hibiki Bacon Egg (250 yen) As someone with limited bakery experience, I have found a bakery that I like, and this store is one of them. My bakery experience has been increasing recently. Whenever I visit this store, which is often when I go to visit the grave, I find that it is always crowded, but that can't be helped. I usually buy some bread that catches my eye and share it with my mother at home while enjoying wine... After visiting the grave, we often end up having lively conversations about old stories... Now, I have gone off on a tangent, but the Bacon Egg at this store is simple and delicious. The light muffin that is not dry is closer to a bagel in my personal opinion, with a simple combination of fried egg and bacon. The saltiness of the bacon, egg, and bread blend together in a simple breakfast bakery item. Surprisingly delicious. ◆Strong Points Delicious bread and thoughtful variety to keep customers interested. ◆Customer Service Average. ◆Summary In my personal opinion, this bakery in Wakamatsu is sophisticated and well-mannered. The quality is above average, with a sense of cleanliness that explains its popularity. My way of enjoying it is not to buy the same thing every time but to purchase different items randomly. Sometimes, I consciously choose a variety. Of course, there are often sold-out items, but that allows you to discover various delicious flavors... That's how high the quality of the bread is. However, there are days when there are long lines in the morning, so be cautious about that. Thank you for the meal!

The breads were voluminous with plenty of fillings. I asked to have the hamburger cut in half to share, and they provided separate paper plates, which was a thoughtful service. The apple Danish had custard cream and sugar icing beneath the apple, creating a contrast of sweetness. The spicy cod roe French bread I bought for takeout was replaced with a freshly baked one at the register, so I couldn't resist taking a bite. The cod roe was generously packed but the bread itself could have been more flavorful to stand out. It's a bit of a luxury, but I wish the bread dough was tastier.

An Butter France @ 240 yen Homemade curry bread 200 yen Ham roll bread 250 yen Mixed sandwich 440 yen When I parked in the upper parking lot and went to the front of the store, I saw a few people gathered in front of the entrance. I wondered what they were doing, but it turned out they were lining up. There were at least 20 people in line from the front. I've never seen so many people lining up at a bakery before. There are 2 cash registers, but it took at least 15 minutes to pay. I ate the curry bread in the car because it was freshly fried, and the crust was indeed crispy and delicious. However, I didn't like the curry sauce. It was sweet and the color and taste reminded me of Bon Curry. Well, it's a matter of personal preference, but I prefer a rich European-style curry. The ham roll bread had thick ham and was delicious, but it was a bit bland in taste. I think it would be better with a mayonnaise-like sauce. Among the breads I bought this time, the best one was An Butter France. The red bean paste and butter were delicious, and the bread itself was tasty. Next time, I'll try buying some hard bread. For some reason, they also sold fried chicken (sold by weight).

Kitakyushu City was the first city in Kyushu to reach a population of one million, but due to a merger of five cities around the time of the Tokyo Olympics, there are many rural areas scattered throughout the city. While the mountain side is somewhat understandable, the seaside has developed as an industrial area with companies like Yahata Steel, so it has prospered. However, the northern part of the Wakamatsu Peninsula directly faces the rough waves of the Japan Sea and the Hyogo Sea, causing development to lag behind. This has resulted in even the rural areas of the Wakamatsu Peninsula being quite deserted, with plenty of empty land available. This led to the large-scale development of the "Hibiki Gakken City" by the Urban Development Corporation, which now houses various universities, new residential areas, large stores, and even a "Costco". With such an American-style car society and artificially created town, essentially a suburb, there is a bakery called "Boulangerie Takas" located there with a large parking lot that can accommodate up to 40 cars in two levels. Previously located in Takasu, the bakery moved to the current location about 7-8 years ago to better meet the needs of customers. They also offer seating for dining in, and serve morning and lunch menus. It is a very popular spot, with customers coming in constantly and bread being baked one after another, creating a lively atmosphere. However, due to the rush, there were some minor conflicts between the eager employees and customers when I visited. Therefore, it might be a good idea to consider implementing some form of crowd control, especially during peak times. I purchased three items this time: 1) Anko Butter French (¥240) - A popular item with plenty of red bean paste and butter from end to end, which pairs perfectly with the bread dough. 2) Amachan Butter Roll (¥85) - Sweetened with brown sugar and butter, this is recommended for both young children and adults. 3) Mentaiko Potato (¥240) - Potatoes are carefully cooked to preserve their flavor, topped generously with mentaiko sauce. The crispy texture of the bread complements the dish well. While the Anko Butter French was a bit too sweet and the bread and butter were slightly tough for my taste, the Amachan Butter Roll was a crowd-pleaser and the Mentaiko Potato offered a unique flavor and texture combination. Overall, the bakery offers a wide variety of breads, from hard types to side dishes, so you are likely to find something you enjoy. It is perfect for families, but for someone like me who tends to be contrarian, I couldn't help but think, "Ah, I wish it was still in the old location in Takasu." Nevertheless, I understand that the current location is much better. Personal rating on Tabelog: 3.5.

◎Boulangerie Takasu (Takasu)◎ When you visit on a Sunday morning, there is always a line inside the store. It's no wonder this popular bakery is bustling with early risers. The first impression is that there are so many types of bread. This time, I chose the Fromage, Chicken and Egg, and Mini Croissant. They were all delicious. The pie crust was particularly tasty, as expected. The seating area is surprisingly spacious and the coffee is reasonably priced.

There is a popular bakery in Wakamatsu that I always visit when I have errands in the area. However, it seems that recently the number of customers has increased even more compared to a few years ago... On weekends, it's a struggle to find a parking spot. Once inside the store, there are so many customers that you unintentionally have to go with the flow of people and before you know it, you're at the register! I often end up missing out on a certain bread that I wanted to get... haha I, who is indecisive, need to muster up some courage before entering! haha However, I have never been disappointed with the bread from this store, no matter which one I buy, it's always delicious (〃▽〃) Every time there are new bread varieties lined up, and it's nice that there are many freshly baked ones due to the large number of customers. I forgot the names and prices of the bread, but... m(_ _)m This time, the bread with prosciutto on top and apple and cream cheese inside was really delicious (*^O^*) Thank you for the meal!

I went to have breakfast at Boulangerie Takas in a newly renovated residential area in Wakamatsu-ku, Kitakyushu City, Fukuoka Prefecture. The bakery is quite large and has a stylish and clean atmosphere. There were many customers, and a wide variety of breads that everyone was looking for were lined up. I found a set menu for dining in, so I chose a luxurious ham toast set with iced tea. The dining area had plenty of seating and was spacious. The toast was generously topped with ham, and the set included a colorful salad, hearty minestrone soup, and a refreshing drink. The bakery was bustling with customers, and the turnover rate was high, so you could encounter freshly baked bread. The luxurious ham toast set was delicious and energizing. After finishing the iced tea, I left the bakery, only to realize that I should have bought some bread for snacks. I hope to visit again soon.
