A diverse selection of products from Mojiko and its nearby vicinity.

Moji Port was once a thriving international port in Japan from the Meiji era to the early Showa era. During that time, street vendors sold bananas brought in from Taiwan at a discount, shouting, “Come and get it, come and get it!” In a city that was filled with exotic goods brought from abroad or exported from Japan, souvenirs remain a popular way to showcase the former metropolis’ history. At Minato House, you will find a wide variety of souvenirs that capture the essence of Mojiko. These include banana snacks, locally brewed sake – including those from the oldest beer factory in Kyushu, and the famous baked curry with rice. You can also find many specialities from neighbouring areas, such as Kokura’s renowned confections and Shimonoseki’s famous seafood, including pufferfish.
