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

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 -

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. -

Mojiko Retro
Moji Port was opened in the early Meiji Period and prospered in international trade. Nostalgic architecture, built from the Meiji into early Showa Periods, are still standing today. It is a fun area to meander.
You have to take a picture with the banana man when you come to Mojiko!
Hey, honestly, I think he looks pretty realistic.
It’s very beautiful, and you can take a boat to Shimonoseki and Karato Market for seafood〜
But this time it wasn’t a holiday, so I couldn’t go. My biggest takeaway is that if there’s something you want to see, go see it right away, and if there’s something you want to buy, buy it first. Otherwise, you’ll run out of time and only be able to rush around for a quick look.
Although the weather wasn’t very good, I really liked walking around here.
There are also lots of banana products. The one I photographed was a banana smoothie〜 It actually had chunks of banana in it.
It was so sweet that anyone with a sweet tooth would absolutely love it.
I saw other people taking pictures of that yellow sign, so I wanted to go see what it was.
So cool〜 Drafting students will definitely get it hahaha.
I also really liked that glass lamp.
It looked a little like a Turkish lamp〜 I like that translucent look combined with the reflections. It gets all sparkly and shiny. -
