[New Tenjin store] The popular Korean store has arrived in Japan for the first time! Great as a gift ◎ Exquisite sweets (Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City)

Hello! I'm Hakata Aya, a writer who loves hot information about Fukuoka.

This time, we will introduce a Korean confectionery shop that has opened on Tenjin Nishidori Street.

The first in Japan! A store specializing in the traditional Korean sweet "Hodukaja (walnut bun)" "BOKHODU Fukuoka Store" (Daimyo, Chuo-ku, Fukuoka City)

About a 6-minute walk from Nishitetsu Fukuoka (Tenjin) Station. "BOKHODU Fukuoka Store" opened on December 6, 2024, opposite the "Iwataya Main Store Main Building" on Tenjin Nishidori.

This is a take-out specialty store for the traditional Korean sweet "Hodukaja (walnut bun)," which is made by wrapping sweet bean paste and walnuts in sweet castella dough and baking it into a walnut shape. This popular store, which has 123 stores in Korea, has finally made its first appearance in Japan.

The fact that you can now eat "Hodukaja," which is still rare in Japan, has already become a hot topic among fans of Korea.

The two types of treats available here are the standard "Hodukaja" or "Kurumi Anko Ball" (paper bag of 8 for 800 yen, box of 8 for 800 yen, box of 20 for 2,000 yen), which is made with bean paste and walnuts, and the "Kurumi Anko Butter Ball" with unsalted butter sandwiched in between (box of 8 for 1,000 yen, box of 20 for 2,500 yen).

Drinks such as "Nuts Cream Coffee" (600 yen), "Caramel Latte" (500 yen), "Darjeeling Tea" (350 yen), and "Corn Tea" (350 yen) are also available.

The shop also has a glass-walled workshop where you can watch the bread being baked, making it fun to watch! If you want to get some freshly baked bread, we recommend coming around 10am, right after opening (freshly baked bread will be served in a paper bag).

We tried the recommended "Kurumi An Butter Ball" and "Nuts Cream Coffee"

This time, I purchased the popular menu items "Kurumi An Butter Ball" (box of 8, 1,000 yen) and "Nuts Cream Coffee" (600 yen).

The "Walnut Bean Butter Ball" is crispy on the outside and fluffy on the inside, stuffed with plenty of bean paste, walnuts, and rich unsalted butter.

The melting butter, the gently sweet bean paste, and the crunchy texture of the walnuts create an exquisite balance. It's so delicious you'll find yourself reaching for it again and again!

I finished the 8-pack in no time, so next time I'll buy the 20-pack.

"Nuts Cream Coffee" is a coffee with a pleasant sweetness and plenty of chunky walnuts. It was a satisfying and soothing drink.

"Kurumi An Butter Ball" can be eaten at room temperature, but it is also recommended to freeze the butter a little. Please enjoy the "Kurumi An Ball" hot and freshly baked!

It can be stored at room temperature for up to three days, but if you want to keep it longer than that, you should freeze it in an airtight container and let it thaw naturally before enjoying it.

Why not choose these sweets as a gift, as they are sure to be a hot topic? They are also planning to be open throughout the New Year holidays. (Text by Hakata Aya.)
