In Yanagawa, everyone knows Mr. Imustan. This time, I tried the baked goods box. Inside were vanilla sablé with white coconut and almond chocolate, Earl Grey madeleines, lemon cake, gateau breton, gateau breton with cheese, pistachio and chocolate financiers, and cocoa sablé with milk chocolate sandwich. Personally, I thought the financiers were the most delicious!

A famous bakery in Yanagawa, Fukuoka, known among bread lovers who even come from afar to buy their bread. I had been wanting to visit this place but never had the chance to go to Yanagawa. Fortunately, a friend from Fukuoka took me there this time and I was so grateful and excited! The bread here is hard and the more you chew, the more delicious it becomes. It's definitely my type of bread! ❤️

Mizugou, Yanagawa City. It's located in a residential area. You might pass by if you don't check the map. The parking lot is spacious! The store size is about the size of three tatami mats (?) but they have a wide variety of bagels and bread! They also have sweets. The prices are mainly in the 200 yen range. They have small and soft bread for children, so adults can buy hard bread while children can enjoy them. This time, I bought walnut bread, chocolate bagel, homemade tomato sauce pizza, and scones. They all have a gentle taste, just like the impression of the staff. The bagels are delicious! (It's a bagel shop after all.)

Among bloggers who love bread, there is a highly rated bakery that specializes in bagels. It is said to be run by a former staff member of "Imamura Seipanjo" in Mizuma-gun, Fukuoka, and I am quite intrigued by it. **Shop Overview** The shop has a natural atmosphere with white and wood tones, and most of the space is dedicated to the bakery. The left side is the sales area, which is quite cramped and could get crowded with four people. The name of the shop comes from the owner's name, Natsumi, spelled backward. **Products & Prices** They offer a variety of bread such as hard bread, bagels, brioche, sandwich bread, baguettes, pastries, croque-monsieur, scones, pizzas, and more. Prices range from around 100 yen for simple items to around 200 yen for hard bread. They have about 15 types of bagels with flavors like dried fruits, nuts, cheese, rye, chocolate, cinnamon, sesame, vegetables, and more. The bagels sold here are said to be the same as those at a café called Malle Delicatessen+Cafe in Saga City. - Chocolate & Cacao Scone (120 yen): A small-sized scone with a crispy exterior and a crumbly interior, flavored with chocolate chips and cacao nibs. - Croque-Monsieur (230 yen): A sandwich made with sandwich bread, filled with ham, sliced tomatoes, and a rich béchamel sauce topped with basil. - Roll Bread (80 yen): A large-sized bread with a slightly chewy and elastic dough, hint of buttery flavor, and a natural sweetness of wheat. - Plain Bagel (180 yen): A dense and chewy bagel that becomes crispy when toasted, with a strong and hearty texture. - Cream Cheese & Cranberry Bagel (180 yen): A French bread with a chewy texture, filled with cream cheese, walnuts, and cranberries. Overall, the bakery is recommended for those who enjoy hard bread and bagels, perfect for breakfast or snacks. Personally, I wish they had more variety in their savory bread options, but I still want to go back to try more.
