85-Year-Old Baker Still Works 18-Hour Days After 56 Years | Fukuoka, Japan

Fukuoka, Hakozaki A 56-Year-Old Bakery Run by an 85-Year-Old Grandmother — A Legendary Story This time, we visited "Yaoki Pan," a long-established bakery quietly tucked away in a residential area of Hakozaki, Higashi Ward, Fukuoka City. Founded in 1970, the shop originally operated at a different location nearby before moving to its current spot in 1995. Second-generation owner Kazunori Shinozaki and his mother-in-law, Yuriko Iida (85), run the shop together as a team. They prepare dough from evening through the next morning and handmake around 300 pieces of bread every day. Working more than 18 hours a day, the two of them truly embody the spirit of authentic Showa-era craftsmanship. While many videos tend to focus on the eclairs and cream puffs, the owner's personal top recommendation — the shop's real "best-seller" — is actually the melon bread 🍈 This time, we bring you all of its charm. ▼Shop Information Yaoki Pan 📍1-30-7 Hakozaki, Higashi Ward, Fukuoka City, Fukuoka Prefecture ⏰Business Hours: Monday: Closed Tuesday: 5:00 AM – 7:00 PM Wednesday: Closed Thursday: 5:00 AM – 7:00 PM Friday: Closed Saturday: 5:00 AM – 7:00 PM Sunday: Closed ☎️092-641-5844 Please watch until the end to enjoy the story of this small bakery that has been loved by locals for over half a century. ▼Shop owners interested in being featured, please contact us at: Mail: ikepykikaku@gmail.com #ASMR #japanesefood #melonbread #japanesegrandma #fukuokafood #hiddenJapan
