When visiting Kitakyushu, the standard souvenir is Gion Daiko!
The name comes from the Kokura Gion Festival, famous for its Gion drums.

This sweet wraps lightly sweet bean paste in pie dough.
It lets you enjoy both Japanese and Western flavors, and people of every generation will like it!
One bite gives a perfect balance between the crisp pastry full of butter flavor and the substantial bean paste, and it is addictively delicious.

Why not buy it once as a souvenir?
