Hello, fellow travelers!
This is Binako, writer for Sarukuma!

Today I’m thrilled to introduce a hidden gem located in
Tsukide, Higashi Ward, Kumamoto City:
“Ishigama Pan Kobo Moisson” — a charming stone oven bakery beloved by locals.

You may have spotted this place around town — it’s a familiar favorite for many locals. The aroma of freshly baked bread drifting out into the street is absolutely irresistible!

Good news for drivers: there’s a spacious parking lot right in front of the shop!

Inside, the shelves are loaded with mouthwatering breads of every variety. I visited in the morning and many items were already sold out — a sure sign of how popular this bakery is!

First up, the
Almond Chocolate Danish — 160 yen

Butter Roll — 70 yen

Butter Salt — 120 yen

Reasonably priced and easy on the wallet — perfect for travelers!

The beautifully crafted Danishes are works of art! From front to back:

Pumpkin

Mont Blanc

Strawberry

A lineup of flavors loved by both kids and adults!

The savory selection is just as impressive!

Bacon and Egg Bread

Mini Sausage Bread

Melty Cheese Baked Curry Bread

Each one is a perfect choice for a hearty Japanese-style breakfast!

Kids will love the adorable character breads:

Cream Panda — 120 yen

Choco Koala — 120 yen

So cute you’ll almost feel guilty eating them!

Looking for something more filling? They’ve got a wonderful selection of sandwiches too — perfect for hungry travelers on the go!

The drink corner is also well-stocked with refreshing options ♪

And here’s the best part:
FREE Coffee Corner!

Many customers leave with a hot cup of coffee in one hand and a warm bag of bread in the other — what a lovely way to start your day!

For breakfast this time, I went with:

Choco Koala — 120 yen

Choco Cornet — 170 yen

This little koala bread is staring right at you — how cute is that?!

The top is made with a delicious cookie crust!

Just as the name suggests, the inside is
packed with rich, gooey chocolate!

An absolute must for chocolate lovers ♪

And just look at this face… it’s almost too cute to bite into!

The size is just right — I had fun nibbling one ear, then the other, until it was all gone! (haha)

Next up, the classic Choco Cornet.
The chocolate was overflowing so temptingly that I gave in and took a bite before snapping the photo — sorry about the missing piece!

Rich, deeply flavored chocolate without being overly sweet — absolutely delicious! My child happily munched away with a big smile and finished it in no time!

One of the best things about Pan Kobo Moisson is that
there’s an outdoor eat-in area where you can relax and enjoy your bread on the spot — making it the perfect bakery stop during your Kumamoto travels!

Be sure to swing by when you’re in the neighborhood!
