Shop Introduction

Hello, travelers!

I bought apple juice for my child, but they didn’t drink much,
so I ended up gulping it down myself.
This is Binako, your SaruKuma writer!

Today I’m introducing a fantastic spot located in
Yasu-machi, Chuo-ku, Kumamoto City, Kumamoto Prefecture:

The shop sits right along the road,
so it’s easy to miss — but if you drive slowly, you’ll spot it. ^^

The parking lot is right next to the building where the shop is located,
and your spot is in the second row from the right!

The moment I stepped inside,
the irresistible aroma of fresh popcorn knocked me out!

This time I picked up MINI popcorns in two flavors:
Caramel and Karashi Renkon (Mustard Lotus Root)!

First, I had to try the karashi renkon — I’d been curious about it the whole time.

The aroma wasn’t overwhelmingly mustardy,
so with my heart pounding, I took a bite…

WHOA!! That mustard kick! Sooo good!

The signature sharp tingle of Japanese mustard came through perfectly,
and it tasted exactly like real karashi renkon. Absolutely incredible!

I told myself I’d only have a little since I was already full,
but before I knew it, the whole bag was gone!
I just couldn’t stop my hand!

How on earth did they recreate the karashi renkon flavor so well?
It’s just too delicious…

Next up was my must-order at the movies:
the caramel flavor!

I just love caramel popcorn.

Yes, yes, yes — this is the one!

Generously coated in caramel,
sweet and absolutely delicious~ (*´Д｀)
It’s pure happiness in every bite.

My child was hooked too — together we polished off the bag
at lightning speed, lol!

Since Subree Popcorn was celebrating their 7th anniversary,
they kindly gifted us a Butter Salt popcorn! (*´Д｀)

A timeless flavor that never disappoints!

The rich buttery taste with the perfect amount of salt
delivers everything you want from classic popcorn.

Before I knew it, my kid was alternating between caramel
and butter salt, devouring them both, lol!

With so many flavors to choose from,
it’s a popcorn shop where adults and kids can have fun together! (^^♪
