A new bakery-cafe has opened in Gotanda, and it is hugely popular.
R Baker
The vibe is totally stylish, and about 80% of the customers were women.
Today’s picks
They have pizza and curry bread too. The style is pretty ordinary overall, but the taste was decent.

Inside
The plant-filled interior is striking. I found myself wondering how they keep them all from wilting.
The breads
It feels a bit out of place in Gotanda, though… Gotanda just isn’t that kind of neighborhood…
After leaving R Baker, I stopped by the newly reopened Arietta.
The front entrance… but something felt off. There were hardly any people…
Bread

Bread
The bread itself looked about the same as before, so I did buy some… but it didn’t taste good. A quick search told me the owner had changed. Even with the same recipe, the taste can change this much, apparently. I don’t think I’ll ever go back to Arietta in my life.
