So many souvenirs, with a dazzling selection you could never get through it all. But if you go later, the dango are half off.
Otherwise, even one tiny skewer isn't exactly cheap.
Today I also got to try Kumamon-shaped ningyo-yaki.
And it happened to be the last day!
It's less than a minute from the station exit,
and it'll have your wallet bleeding in no time.

Kinoko no Yama
Kinoko no Yama, a long-selling product that represents Meiji Co., Ltd. (hereafter, Meiji), has been a beloved national chocolate snack across generations since its launch in 1975. Its most distinctive feature is its cute mushroom-shaped form. The cracker is light and fragrant, while the chocolate portion has a two-layer structure that gives it a smooth melt-in-the-mouth texture. The slight saltiness of the cracker brings out the sweetness, while the clean finish makes it easy to enjoy.
Actually, I took this photo at Costco. If you really like it, you can buy it at Costco〜
I originally wanted to try it in Japan and buy it when I came back if I liked it, so I wouldn’t have to carry it around.
But when I went to Japan, all I bought was Jagabee.
Sorry, Kinoko no Yama. I’ll definitely buy you next time.
Pinky promise.
I just found a strawberry flavor while browsing at Kuang Nan〜 If you like it, you can check Kuang Nan.
Sushiro has a vanilla caramel sundae with Kinoko no Yama.
The Takenoko no Sato one is matcha strawberry. They’re both 140.
I found out Don Quijote has a promotion too.
So cool⋯ I’ve noticed that whenever I see something,
it just keeps showing up everywhere.
I hope money does too hahahahaha -

Takenoko no Sato
Takenoko no Sato is one of the signature products of Meiji Co., Ltd. (hereafter, Meiji). Following the huge success of its sister product Kinoko no Yama, it was developed as the second product in the series with a completely different concept. Since its launch in 1979, it has remained a long-selling favorite with a history of more than 45 years.
I haven't tried these yet because I just haven't felt like buying them, but everyone on the forum says they're good, so I'll definitely try them the next time I go to Japan〜
They seem like chocolate with a really cool shape〜
I saw that my friend bought these on a trip to Japan, and I even asked him if he could save a pack for me to try. But neither of us could find time to meet up, so his older sister ate them lol
Why does it feel like I've already lost touch with more than half of my friends when I only started working not long ago?
So sad?
Everyone, I just found out Sushiro has these!
But they're 140〜 If you're interested, you can go try them -

Omiyage Kaido Kaikyo Plaza Store
A souvenir shop inside Kaikyo Plaza, a shopping complex in the nostalgic Mojiko Retro district. The store offers a wide selection of souvenirs from the Mojiko area, including banana sweets inspired by the port’s reputation as the birthplace of auction-style banana selling and products featuring baked curry, a local Mojiko specialty.
This is probably the part I regret missing the most?
I was thinking of looking around outside, but I ended up having no time to come back because I also wanted to go to Kokura, so I really only took a few photos.
But there’s a capsule toy shop inside with those things where you draw a key. You can find them everywhere, but this place has a lot of different kinds, like crystals, old coins, and some pretty cool decorations?
But I didn’t try any because they were a little expensive hahaha.
It’s a good place to duck into on a rainy day and browse around. It seems like it would be easy to buy lots of souvenirs there.
But it’s a little far from Fukuoka, so I just told myself it was fine that I didn’t buy anything.
Don’t you think that chef looks a little shady?
I thought it was pretty interesting. -
