Wandering around Mita one weekend, I came across a bakery that looked promising.

The place, more or less

One side is set up as a café where you can also sit down for a meal.

The bread, more or less

Savory breads, sweet stuff, all sorts of things. Maybe it’s all the high-rise apartment towers in this neighborhood, but the standard is high.

More bread

German-style potato bread, fresh out of the oven

One bite and I thought: this would be perfect with a beer. They really know what they’re doing.

Fig bread

The sweet breads are seriously high-level too

Gâteau au chocolat

Shockingly good. That balance… this is nationally competitive stuff.

Banana, I think…

It was decent.

Shokupan

I’ve been eating shokupan for breakfast a lot lately, so I’ve been collecting loaves from all over. This one isn’t bad either. But there’s a better place nearby, so I doubt I’ll be coming here for the loaf.

Living in Minato has introduced me to a lot of seriously good bakeries. The funny thing is, every one of them has its own personality. Doing the rounds, there’s never a dull moment.
