After returning home for the Bon Festival and accidentally leaving something behind, my forgetful son traveled all the way from Kokura Kita Ward to Moji the next day to buy bread for us. He's a good guy. That's just the kind of person he is. I got a Bacon Epi (I don't know the official name!), my wife got an anpan (same), my daughter got a croque-monsieur (same), and I got a melon pan (probably). I'll enjoy the Bacon Epi with my evening drink (at-home drinking after drinking out somewhere). As usual, I preheat the toaster for a bit and then lightly toast it for about 30 seconds. The surface becomes crispy, but... the first bite?! There's mustard with mayonnaise in it! What's this feeling of betrayal... why does there need to be mayonnaise in mustard? I don't get it. Oh well, I'll just eat it. He bought it for me out of kindness after all. I try it again (deceiving myself into thinking I like mayonnaise) and find that the bread itself lacks flavor and is weak in taste. It's not dry, but it's lacking moisture. So, when I chew, it's a bit dry... The outer part is relatively crispy, so it's a shame. I doubt the mayonnaise was meant to compensate for that. And the strong taste of mayonnaise completely overpowers the bacon. The mustard also lacks any hint of spiciness. My wife's anpan, which I tried a bit of, had a slightly yellowish color and a slightly sweet taste to the bread. I don't know how they made it sweet, but what's the intention behind making the bread sweet? The croque-monsieur, which I tried a bit of from my daughter, was delicious! They use different types of cheese to sandwich and melt on top, so it doesn't get boring and it's not heavy. The melon pan was also good! I wonder if this shop has multiple bakers? I'm not sure... I asked my son, but he wasn't clear. The prices are also on the higher side, so I probably wouldn't go there myself. Thank you for the meal.

I went for the first time. Parking is free for 30 minutes. I bought Garlic French Tartine, Potato and Camembert Salt Bread, and An Butter. The dough was delicious and tasty. I almost tried the egg next to the potato, but it was gone, so I want to try it next time. Thank you for the meal.

Oh, I see. The place that used to be a buffet is now a bakery, right? I visited during my homecoming. The location is the Moji Red Brick Place. It seems that there used to be long lines when they first opened, but now it's not the case, with only two groups of customers ahead of me in the spacious store. The combination of dried flowers and a bakery, like Amamudakotan, is something I've seen in Tokyo as well, so I thought, "Oh, this place is like that too." The displayed bread didn't seem to be selling out, and I had some doubts about the layout. It wasn't packed tightly, with many gaps. I didn't see many breads that I wanted to try... I thought about getting a baguette, but I hesitated because of the atmosphere of the shop... I ended up choosing three items: - Angel's Fresh Donut (220 yen): I wonder what "fresh" means in this case? The bread dough was like brioche dough. The inside had just regular whipped cream... I guess it's not something you'd find in the refrigerated section... I was expecting something like the fresh donuts from I'm Donuts. - Salt Bread - Walnut Bread Both were pretty average... nothing special. The spicy cod roe baguette was said to be a specialty, but I didn't buy it. Maybe the layout with many gaps doesn't really stimulate the desire to buy? I'm used to crowded bakeries with breads lined up tightly. Since it used to be a buffet, the place is quite spacious for a bakery, right?

The bakery on the first floor of Akarenga Place. Parking is free for 30 minutes. The bread ranges from around 200 yen to 500 yen, which is a bit on the higher side. They also have about 3 types of hamburgers, priced over 500 yen, but they are filling and delicious, highly recommended. In the morning, they have a wide variety of bread, and during lunchtime, you can enjoy your bread indoors by the window or outside. I visited in the evening around 4 pm once, and many products were already sold out, with only about half the variety available. I forgot the name, but the sandwich I had was delicious. Thank you for the meal!

I found this shop on Instagram and had been wanting to visit for a while. This time, I came to Moji specifically to visit this shop. I parked at the municipal parking lot on the same premises, which offered 30 minutes of free parking. The shop is located in a corner of Moji Red Brick Place near JR Moji Station. The interior of the shop is decorated with dried flowers and chandeliers, creating a charming atmosphere. There is also seating available on the terrace outside, as well as glass counter seats inside. The items I purchased were pot beef tendon curry, pot egg, mentaiko French bread, garlic French bread, and olive focaccia. The pot beef tendon curry was reheated in a toaster oven, and the bread had a crispy texture with a delicious black curry spice flavor. The pot egg also had a very tasty bread. The mentaiko French bread and garlic French bread had a crispy, hard texture that complemented the flavors of mentaiko and garlic, resulting in a simple yet delicious taste. Thank you for the meal.

A new shop has opened in the red brick building behind Moji Station! This place used to have a buffet-style restaurant in the past, and I was curious about it because there used to be long lines extending outside. The interior of the shop is decorated stylishly with dried flowers and chandeliers, giving it a nice atmosphere. There were a variety of breads displayed, making it hard to choose. I decided to try the recommended mentaiko French bread for 400 yen, which had a firm texture with a generous amount of mentaiko. The pot egg for 350 yen was also interesting - when reheated, the flavor of the egg was really good! The salted butter anpan for 200 yen had a nice balance of sweetness from the red bean paste and saltiness. The Campanile Long for 500 yen was sliced to the thickness I liked. There were so many bread options that I couldn't try them all, but the classic melon pan and anpan were delicious as well. I definitely want to come back to try more varieties of bread next time!

There is a new bakery in Moji that I visited, and the interior is stylish with a unique atmosphere using chandeliers! The name of the shop seemed unusual, and I found out it is related to the "Kijin to Henjin" bakery. They mainly offer Tartines and sweet bread, which is quite eccentric! I bought a few items and accidentally crushed them on the way home, so I only have a photo of one item: Shirasu Mayo France for 350 yen. I couldn't decide between this and the Mentaiko France, but I chose this unique option. The aroma of shirasu combined surprisingly well with the mayo. I lightly toasted it in the toaster to enhance the aroma and enjoyed it! I will definitely visit again.

I wanted to visit the restaurant I saw on TV, located behind Moji Station in a red brick warehouse. There is a paid parking lot right in front, and the first 30 minutes are free. The interior of the restaurant is stylish, with a few seats by the window for dining in. I came here looking for sandwich-style bread, but they were all quite large. My husband had a salmon fry burger, which was so filling that it was enough for a meal. The melon bread (chocolate) was delicious, with a crispy texture.

Tartine (potato and camembert) for 400 yen, Bacon Epi for 350 yen, Salted bread (an butter) for 200 yen. There was a considerable line inside the store, although it didn't extend outside. Everyone was carefully choosing their bread, so the progress was slow. The checkout was also crowded, so it took about 15 minutes to make a purchase and leave Mojiko Station. Among the breads I bought this time, Tartine was my favorite. Well, I do have a preference for baked goods. But the bread itself was delicious to begin with. It's a bit on the fancy side, but tasty. They accept PayPay.

Chandelier Eccentric is a bakery cafe located in a corner of the red brick place near Mojiko Station in Kitakyushu City. I heard about it from a restaurant I visited for lunch in the same area, and it seems that it just opened last month, so I decided to stop by. The interior is trendy and Instagrammable, with high fashion sense. There are seats by the window and next to the entrance, allowing for dining in. The breads are lined up in rows on the counter, and they seem quite large. They also have a drink menu. I purchased several items including salt bread, onion rustic bread, mentaiko (spicy cod roe) bread, mini garlic bread, and egg sandwich. The tastes may vary depending on personal preferences. I bought some of my favorite rustic bread, but it was not dry and had large chunks of raw onions, which I am not a fan of. The egg sandwich was steamed and had an unusual filling of sweet egg, but it had a salty taste and a custard-like texture. Definitely eccentric... The staff was kind and left a good impression. Chandelier Eccentric is a 3-minute walk from Mojiko Station, open from 10 am to 6 pm (9 am on weekends), with no regular holidays (irregular holidays). Dining in is possible, and there is a paid parking lot next to the cafe. Please check the official website for more details before visiting.

Ogura Bakery opened on the first floor of the famous wrestling venue "Moji Red Brick Place" in Orio Honcho, Moji Ward, Kitakyushu City. They offer a variety of tartines and sandwiches, with unique options like Shrimp Mayo Sandwich, Sesame Chicken Nut Sauce, Eggplant Bolognese, and Orange Chicken. They also have a selection of sweet breads like Melon Pan, Chocolate Melon Pan, and Cream Pan. I purchased the Eggplant Bolognese (400 yen) and Cream Pan (200 yen) this time. The Eggplant Bolognese consists of slightly spicy bolognese, bacon, cheese, and fried eggplant sandwiched between buns. It's best to eat this quickly as the fried eggplant can make the bread oily. The Cream Pan is delicious with a fluffy bread and smooth cream filling. It's quite impressive and only costs 200 yen, which is a great deal. The concept of chandeliers and bread is interesting. Overall, it was a satisfying meal.

There is a coin parking in front of the store. I went to "BAKERY&CHANDELIER Eccentric" which opened at Moji Red Brick Place right next to JR Moji Station. It is a new type of bakery that collaborated with the high-end bread specialty store "Kijin to Henjin" in Ito City. The bread is a bit pricey, but everything I bought was delicious. The chocolate melon bread was tasty with a chewy inside and a crunchy chocolate outside. The salt bread was also delicious when reheated at home.

This is a shop where you can "Bread & Run" (run for the purpose of getting bread). While jogging towards Moji Port, I stumbled upon a shop with a great atmosphere. I was passing by during my jog and ended up changing my one-way plan to a round trip jog. I purchased the following items: mushroom paste baguette, bacon epi, and a cheese-filled baguette, totaling around 900 yen. The mushroom paste baguette goes well with wine, the cheese-filled baguette also pairs nicely with wine, and the bacon epi goes well with both wine and beer. This shop ranks highly in the Kokura and Moji area. It was a perfect two-hour jog.

It's located about a 2-minute walk from JR Moji Station, inside the Red Brick Place. I stopped by because I had some business in Shimonoseki. The exterior has a nice retro feel, while the interior is stylish with a modern touch. There are lots of fluffy chandeliers made of plants hanging around. There's also a counter where you can see the sea, and you can eat in as well (one drink minimum). The bread items are a bit on the pricey side, but many of them have unique ingredients and presentation. - Mentaiko France, 400 yen: The dough is light and crispy. It's recommended to reheat it. The mentaiko spread from end to end, which was nice. - Black Tea and Double Chocolate, 250 yen: The dough is slightly chewy due to high hydration. It had lemon peel in it, which was a bit overpowering compared to the black tea. - Pot Marinara, 430 yen: Looks great. Seafood tomato sauce mixed inside a hollowed-out bread with mashed potatoes hidden underneath. It was quite filling and a bit difficult to eat. Tartines and burgers also looked delicious. Customers were coming in one after another, so it seems to be popular. Thank you for the meal.

I'm happy that a stylish bakery that seems fitting for a celestial god or a feudal lord has opened in Kitakyushu. I highly recommend the croque-monsieur, shrimp mayo burger with chocolate sandwiched in between, and the pork and balsamic burger. I tried them all and they were all delicious!!!! (laughs)

JR Moji Station North Exit, a bakery that opened at Moji Red Brick. Initially, it was irregular holidays, but since October 17th, it has been closed on Mondays. When I came to watch pro wrestling on October 2nd, I had a conversation like "There's a bakery" "Oh" but I wondered what happened afterwards, so I visited. It seems that my friend didn't really care about it... ( '-' ) I've never heard of the word "bakery & chandelier" before (laughs). The exterior and interior look like a stylish space like a beauty salon. Maybe that's why it's called that because it's produced by "eccentric and weird" people, but it's a legitimate stylish space without feeling eccentric at all. I forgot to take a closer look at the chandelier because it was so bright with plenty of natural light coming in through the large windows during the daytime. There are counter seats facing the road on the sea side, and you can eat in. The bread is generally on the high-end side, and there are no items under 200 yen. Since it's expensive anyway, I decided to try the most expensive hamburger in the lineup, which seemed to be focusing on 5-6 types. I was torn between Unzen Ham Cutlet and Shrimp Mayo, but in the end, I decided on you (Pork Shoulder Loin Balsamic Teriyaki) that caught my eye when I entered the store! I also wanted to try something from the sweet section, so I got a Chocolate Melon Pan. The bread is expensive, but the drinks are cheaper. A 250 yen coffee is made one cup at a time from the machine after ordering. - Pork Shoulder Loin Balsamic Teriyaki (500 yen) Even without reheating, it's delicious as expected from the high-end line. When you bite into the fatty part, the thick pork meat with a crispy texture is tender and easy to eat once cut. The taste of balsamic vinegar and mayonnaise stands out more than the teriyaki flavor, so despite the thick meat, it feels light or refreshing to eat. The marinated purple cabbage has a mild acidity, blends well without feeling out of place. And the buns are quite delicious... The hard buns that make a crispy sound are soft and buttery when you bite into them. Although the surface is hard, the texture is good, and it's not as difficult to eat as I was cautious about. This makes me look forward to the other burger ingredients (〃'▽'〃) - Chocolate Melon Pan (230 yen) The part that sticks out is mostly cookie! I like it so much that I want to visually confirm that there is a lot of this part (laughs). It looks big, but the texture inside is quite fluffy, so the feeling after eating is light. When you look at the cross-section, it's not hollow, but surprisingly light without any large cavities. I personally appreciate this lightness because I get tired of very tightly packed melon pan halfway through. - Hot Coffee (250 yen) Quite a strong coffee taste. I thought it was strong at first sip (strong!), but for some reason, it goes down smoothly with a bitter taste. The acidity is mild. There is sugar and milk at the end of the counter, so add to your liking. I drank it all black (〃´o｀)ﾌｩ... Since my mouth was sweet from the chocolate melon pan, the slightly bitter coffee was just right. I thought it was a bit expensive, but it was delicious, so it's okay (*ˊᵕˋ*) I want to come back to try the bread with chocolate bars or gratin bread, my favorites were sold out! When I line up right above here before the pro wrestling event, I might buy something again (laughs) PayPay is accepted☆

The location and interior are stylish. It's not super clean, but the bundles of something hanging from above like pampas grass are a bit concerning. I wonder if dust doesn't fall down... I was surprised by the salty taste of the cream puff. The French toast was delicious. It's the type that isn't too soaked. The impression is that there are a lot of hard textures, the mentaiko croissant is dry, and the pizza-like one is soggy. I also tried the recommended item by Hanada-san, but hmm... The red brick building is lovely, it might be fun to explore.
