I visited Yaoke Pan, a retro bakery around 1 PM on a regular day. It seems to be open from 5 AM to 7 PM. It is a bakery loved by the local community, which is evident from its appearance. Inside the store, there was an elderly lady working with a noticeably bent back. I admire her for working so hard at her age. I was surprised by the affordability of the bread. Burgers and curry buns cost 100 yen, while apple buns, red bean buns, melon buns, and donuts cost 90 yen, which is incredibly cheap! The most surprising thing was the cream puffs for 40 yen and éclairs for 50 yen. In a world where prices are high, I felt unsure if it was okay to buy them at such low prices. However, I believe that this affordability and the love put into the products by the elderly lady are the reasons why the bakery is loved by the community. This time, I tried the cream puff for 40 yen. My impression of the taste was that the custard inside had a slightly lower amount of eggs. The cream color was closer to white! The custard was sweet and very delicious. It was packed full of custard, which was surprising. The amount of custard inside exceeded my expectations, providing a satisfying eating experience. The custard was densely packed inside the thin pastry. I couldn't believe that all of this was only 40 yen. However, the cream puff was truly delicious and made me feel happy! I would love to go back and try something else next time.

A bakery located in a narrow alley in Higashi-ku, Hakozaki, Fukuoka. It has an old-fashioned feel and has been in business for over 40 years. They open at 5 am in the morning, but when I visited in the early afternoon, they only had cream puffs, eclairs, and sliced bread left. The cream puffs were 40 yen each, and the eclairs were 50 yen. Both the cream puff and eclair had the same cream filling, which was packed inside. The filling was more like white bean paste and quite sweet. It seems to be a shop loved by the locals.

I used the Fukuoka City Subway One-Day Pass (640 yen) to visit shops in the city on 5/6 (Friday). I visited shop 4, "Yaoki Pan," which is located in a narrow alley east of Hakozaki Kyudai-mae Station. The shop has a charming exterior that seems unchanged by time. The prices of the pastries, such as the eclair (50 yen) and cream puff (40 yen) in the refrigerated section, are surprisingly low. I asked for an eclair from the refrigerated section. Although there weren't many bread varieties available in the afternoon, I found the cream cheese and blueberry melon bread that I was interested in. It was much heavier than I expected, weighing 150g. I ate the eclair immediately after leaving the shop and it was delicious. The chocolate coating, fluffy choux pastry, and creamy custard filling made for a perfect eclair. It was a moment of happiness that was short-lived. On 5/7 (Saturday) at lunchtime, I ate the melon bread I bought the day before from "Yaoki Pan." The cream cheese and blueberry melon bread was moist and filled with blueberry cream cheese, making it a luxurious treat. The melon bread itself was delicious, and the addition of blueberry and cream cheese made it even better. It was a delightful indulgence at only 120 yen.

Among the long-established bakeries mentioned, if we consider the initial impression based on appearance, "Hotaido Fukamachi Pan-ten" stands out. However, in terms of overall performance, the bakery "Yaoki Pan" takes the lead. When you enter the shop, you will be greeted by a small, cheerful elderly lady sitting by the showcase. Inside the showcase, you can find items like "Choux Cream" for as low as 40 yen each and "Eclery" for 50 yen each. The other bread items are also reasonably priced, maintaining the nostalgic Showa era prices. The bakery is located in a nostalgic alleyway, creating a sense of nostalgia. The bakery has been in operation for about 50 years, and despite the challenges they faced when relocating, they have managed to keep their prices low. The bakery is now run by the son, with the elderly lady as the face of the shop. The bakery opens at 5 am, showing their dedication to their craft. I purchased the following items: 1) Eclery - 50 yen each 2) Choux Cream - 40 yen each 3) Melon Cream - 100 yen 4) Mini Egg Cooking Bread - 80 yen 5) Red Bean and Butter Cream - 140 yen 6) Pizza Toast - 100 yen Each item had a nostalgic taste, reminiscent of the Showa era. The bakery is a must-visit for those who appreciate traditional flavors and warm hospitality.

The other day, after enjoying a delicious beef tongue grilled set meal at "Gyutan Yaki Nodaniku", I wandered around the streets of Hakozaki and stumbled upon "Yaoki Pan". Located in a narrow alley in Hakozaki 1-chome, this small, old-fashioned bakery is run by a family - with an elderly lady manning the counter and her son baking the bread. I couldn't resist and bought some éclairs and cream puffs, each priced at 50 yen and 40 yen respectively. They were small but affordable, even for children's pocket money. When I got home, I enjoyed them with a cup of coffee. The taste was just as simple and delicious as I remembered. The cream puffs were moist and fluffy, enveloping the cream perfectly, while the cream had just the right amount of sweetness to satisfy the palate. It's unbelievable that you can get such quality at this price. The other bread items were also reasonably priced and had that nostalgic charm of an old-fashioned bakery. I hope that these kind of honest and affordable shops continue to thrive for a long time.

Avoid the three Cs and head to the back alley! Originally, there used to be a bakery on the main street, but in order to make it easier for everyone to buy affordable bread, it moved to this back alley. The main street is expensive. They have bite-sized deli bread: Hot dogs x2 for 120 yen each, a uniquely spicy curry bread for 120 yen, and cream puffs x2 for 40 yen each with plenty of cream as always. The éclairs are also available today. The mother is still working at the shop as usual! I hope she's okay, I'm a little worried. Yaoke Pan in Higashi-ku, Fukuoka City, Hakoazaki 1-30-7, open from 5:00 to 19:00, closed on Sundays. You can enter the side street next to Lawson, but cars cannot pass through. #YaokePan #YaokePanPastryShop #Eclairs #HakoazakiLongEstablishedShop #ShopsInHakoazaki #Takeout #TakeItHomeFukuoka #tetsuya720

Yaoiki, yaoiki... In the quiet residential area of Hakoizaki, there is a bakery called Yaoiki Pan. It's true that the location is a bit hard to find, but not so much that you'll get lost. When I entered the shop, there was nobody inside, so I greeted loudly and the owner, an elderly lady, appeared from the back with a smile. I commented on the cold rain outside, and she pointed to the red bean buns, saying, "The red bean buns are over there." Huh... Psychic powers? Thank you, I got the red bean buns without having to search. In addition to the red bean buns, I also bought some éclairs and cream puffs, which are popular for Valentine's Day to distribute at work, about 20 in total. The elderly lady packed them efficiently for me. The red bean buns had an unusual feature of two windows at the top of the dough, not black sesame or poppy seeds, but windowed red bean buns. Nice, nice! The dough was soft and couldn't withstand the knife cut, so it popped a bit... sorry, sorry. The red bean paste was just right, and the dough was fluffy, enveloping it perfectly. Of course, it was delicious. The texture of the red bean was wonderful, and the sweetness was moderate. The bottom of the red bean buns had a strong, crispy texture, giving off a fragrant aroma of wheat before taking a bite, tickling my appetite. It must be the result of the long-used black iron plate. It's an honor to encounter such bread these days. Thank you, it was delicious. Thank you, see you next week. Please tell me where the red bean buns are next time. Thank you.

Fukuoka City, Higashi Ward. This old-fashioned bakery is located in a very narrow alley where cars cannot enter. The prices probably haven't changed in decades. They offer items like "Wiener Cone" (90 yen), "Apple Bread" (90 yen), "Eclair" (50 yen), and "Cream Cheese and Blueberry Melon Bread" (120 yen). The Eclair is small but filled with plenty of cream that is more like condensed milk. It's surprising that it's only 50 yen. The Wiener Cone is filled with chopped up wieners and corn, very affordable but full of ingredients. An elderly lady runs the shop by herself and kindly explains the bread. I hope she stays healthy and continues for a long time. Thank you for the delicious treats! ♡

I stopped by here after seeing it featured on TV as a long-standing bakery that had been recommended for a long time. Using the map on Tabelog, I walked down a narrow alley where only a small car could pass through. The storefront with a yellow awning exuded the dignity of a long-established shop. When I opened the door, a smiling old lady came out. It turned out she was running the shop all by herself. Inside, it felt like I had been transported back to the mid-Showa era. The cream puffs were 40 yen, eclairs 50 yen, with a nostalgic cream flavor. The main sweet breads were 90 yen, pizzas 100 yen, sandwiches 150 yen, etc... It was full of warmth!! The old lady recommended the anko butter, cream puffs, cheese bread, and sweet potato bread. I couldn't resist and ended up buying a lot, but it only cost around 500 yen. All the bread had a nostalgic taste. The cheese bread had corn in it, and the sweet potato bread had cream mixed with mashed sweet potatoes, creating a very gentle flavor. It's rare to find a shop like this still around nowadays. If it's nearby, I'll continue to visit. I hope this shop keeps going strong in the future.

It's about a 5-minute walk from Subway Hakozaki Kyudai-mae Station. The shop is located on a narrow street that is difficult for cars to enter. There is a small park across the street. The shop has an old-fashioned feel, with standard items like bread, sausages, curry, melon bread, and cream lined up. There are also éclairs and cream puffs in the showcase, priced surprisingly low at 40-50 yen in this day and age! I bought a melon bread and a cream bread for 90 yen each, as well as a bag of bread crusts for 20 yen. I love bread crusts. I will enjoy the melon bread and cream bread, which are classic styles that children would also enjoy. The shop's elderly lady staff is heartwarming. I hope they continue to do well. Thank you for the meal.

Finally found it! I feel relieved. Thank you for the delicious meal.

I bought 3 eclairs and 3 cream puffs! The taste is very sweet!! If you're torn between cream puffs and eclairs, I would recommend eclairs!

I wonder if there used to be many shops like this in the past~ It feels nostalgic and somehow soothing. I will definitely visit again.

On a regular day, around 9 o'clock, I went to this bakery for breakfast. It is located in a place that is almost impossible to reach by car, making it a hidden gem bakery. The history is old, and a cute grandma welcomed me. I bought two éclairs and some small and cute cream puffs from the showcase. I also got a curry bread and some other baked goods to take to a nearby park. The gentle bread made me feel warm inside. Grandma, please stay healthy always. I really like this bakery.

I've been to this bakery a few times before, but I always associated it with cream puffs and eclairs rather than bread because that's what I usually received as gifts. However, this time I decided to visit in the morning as they open early and I could stop by on my way to work. When I arrived around 7 am, I was surprised to see that they were already open. I went in and noticed that their selection was a bit limited due to the early hour. I purchased a cheese cream and blueberry bread, an apple bread, and decided to try the apple bread as well. The cheese cream and blueberry bread was delicious, with a mix of cream inside the melon bread dough. It was surprisingly tasty for such an affordable price. The apple bread was not overly sweet and had a good amount of apple filling. I was impressed by the quality of the bread, and I am already thinking about visiting this bakery regularly.

In a small bakery located on a narrow path behind the convenience store, you may not have found it if you didn't have the purpose of looking for this shop. An elderly lady was running the shop. I was surprised at the prices - all the bread was around 100 yen, which is quite rare nowadays. The cream puffs and eclairs in the showcase were priced at 40 and 50 yen, which is very cheap. I purchased a spicy curry bun, a grape bread, and two eclairs for a total of 310 yen, which is the price of just one bread at a regular bakery. My favorite was the curry bun - it had a good spiciness and the cheese on top was a perfect match. The grape bread was a bit hard, but I liked it. It was similar to a slightly softer bagel. The raisins were generously added, so you could taste them in every bite. The eclairs surprised me with their custard cream filling. I had only ever tried eclairs with white cream before, so this was new to me. It was a bit too sweet for my taste though. The bakery itself was simple and lacked a trendy feel, but it was a precious find. The nostalgic touch added to the bread made it even more delicious. It's nice to have bread that evokes sentimental feelings. I hope the elderly lady continues to run the bakery for a long time.
