GODIVA Japan is bringing its unique bakery concept to Kyushu for the first time with the opening of “GODIVA Bakery Godipan” at Daimaru Fukuoka Tenjin in late August 2026. This new bakery combines the charm of a neighborhood bakery with the luxurious taste of GODIVA chocolate, offering freshly baked breads infused with chocolate and cacao flavors.
Visitors to Fukuoka can enjoy a special bakery experience that highlights local culture and ingredients. The store design draws inspiration from Fukuoka’s traditional “yatai” food stalls, featuring lantern-style lighting to create a warm atmosphere. Alongside the signature chocolate breads, the bakery offers exclusive items using famous Kyushu specialties, making it a must-visit for those exploring regional flavors in Japan.
About GODIVA Bakery Godipan at Daimaru Fukuoka Tenjin
GODIVA Bakery Godipan is a new bakery brand developed by GODIVA Japan, blending everyday bakery favorites with the rich taste of chocolate. The first store opened in Tokyo’s Yurakucho in August 2023 and quickly became popular, attracting large crowds. Now, the Kyushu debut at Daimaru Fukuoka Tenjin features about 20 varieties of breads, including favorites like chocolate cornet, cream bread, and curry bread. Unique to this location is the “Cornet (Mentaiko Potato Salad),” a savory bread made with local mentaiko (spicy cod roe) and creamy potato salad, wrapped in slightly bitter cacao dough with a pink pepper accent for an adult flavor.
The bakery includes a dedicated kitchen for baking and a low-temperature room for chocolate preparation, ensuring freshly made products with high-quality chocolate and cream made on-site. GODIVA’s expertise as chocolatiers shines through in every item, offering a new way to enjoy chocolate through bakery products.
