Shiroya Kokura
A beloved Kyushu staple-this bakery is so popular that long lines are guaranteed.
Located in Kokura, Kitakyushu, Shiroya Bakery has been a beloved local favorite since the 1950s. Just a short walk from JR Kokura Station and situated inside the Kokura Chuo Shopping Arcade, it enjoys a convenient location and draws constant lines of loyal customers. Guests choose their bread directly from the showcase-a simple, nostalgic style that adds to its charm.
The bakery’s signature item, Sunny Pan, features a crisp exterior and fluffy interior filled generously with silky condensed milk. Despite its simplicity, its deeply comforting flavor has made it a true soul food of the people of Kitakyushu.
Another popular specialty is the Omelet-a cloud-like sponge made with fresh local eggs, filled with smooth whipped cream that melts in your mouth. Its light, airy texture makes it easy to enjoy, with many fans often buying several at a time.
The showcase is also lined with familiar Japanese favorites such as melon pan, anpan, and koppepan. All items have a gentle, nostalgic flavor and are offered at reasonable prices, making it easy to try a variety of baked goods.
