Introducing CO-NA Agepan Specialty Shop

Hello, this is Mofumofu, writer for [Sarukuma].

Today I’m introducing a wonderful little spot in Shiranui-machi, Uki City
[CO-NA Agepan Specialty Shop].

🌷 Grand Opening: Friday, April 14, 2023 🌷
Congratulations!πŸ₯°βœ¨

I’d been checking their Instagram for weeks thinking, “Is it open yet? Is it open yet?!”

CO-NA Agepan Specialty Shop is a charmingly simple container-style shop!

There are stairs at the entrance, so if you’re visiting with little ones, carrying them is recommended.

Parking is right in front of the shop, with space for 3-4 cars πŸš—

CO-NA is located along Ukiuki Road, but it’s a mountain road with no traffic lights, so it’s easy to pick up speed and zoom right past β€” I drove by once before realizing! (laughs)

Keep your eyes peeled for the “Agetate desu” (Just-Fried!) sign πŸ‘€βœ¨

Searching by address on Google Maps won’t bring it up, so please use the map below πŸ‘Œ

CO-NA closes once they sell out, so sending a DM on Instagram to reserve in advance is a great idea 🌟

The interior is super stylish ✨
It comfortably fits about two adults, so if customers are already inside, just wait quietly outside 😊

If you’re buying as a souvenir, paper bags are available!

They hold about 8 pieces and cost Β₯50 each πŸ›

Normally they pop your order into a plastic bag for free, so no need to bring your own bag 🐱

CO-NA Agepan Specialty Shop β€” Recommended Menu

[Agepan Menu]

Kibito (brown sugar) β€” Β₯180

Kinako (roasted soybean flour) β€” Β₯180

Koshian (smooth red bean paste) β€” Β₯200

Cinnamon β€” Β₯200

I would have loved to buy them all, but I’m not a fan of cinnamon, so I went with kibito, kinako, and koshian πŸžπŸ’•

The flavor names are written on the bottom of each bag, making it easy to tell which is which!
Even after some time, they stay fluffy and chewy β€” absolutely delicious πŸ˜‹

Generously filled with anko πŸ’• The sweetness is gentle and not heavy at all β€” really easy to enjoy β™ͺ

I ate the kinako one in the car and forgot to take a photo afterward… (The main photo at the top is the kinako one!)

(Eating these in the car will make a real mess of your seats! laughs)

If you take some home and they cool down:

β‘  Microwave for about 20 seconds

β‘‘ Toast the surface for about 1–1.5 minutes

You’ll get that just-fried texture again β€” fluffy inside, crispy outside πŸ’•

By the way!
“CO-NA Agepan Specialty Shop” is also active as part of Uki City’s Regional Revitalization Cooperation Team 🀲✨

Working hard to liven up Uki City β€” how wonderful is that πŸ₯Ί
