From the name "Asahi" which is a Japanese word, I assumed this place is a Japanese bakery like Arai Pastry in Tempe but not....which is a big disappointment as I was searching for authentic Japanese bakeries. I like Arai Pasty but it's bit far and the selection is limited compared to bakeries in Japan. So I found Asahi Bakery online and so excited to go there as it is quite close to where I live.
They still have a few types of buns similar to Japanese ones incl custard cream buns. I bought a custard cream bun and coconut bun. Coconut bun was quite tasty but custard bun tasted funny like almost stale. It was very soft though.
They also have some steamed buns, cakes, cookies similar to those I see at the bakery inside of Ranch L Market at COFCO.
The lady working there was cheerful and friendly and told me what breads they were.
Well, for Japanese bread, I need to go to Arai Pastry or bake at home for the ones Arai Pastry does not have. And for Chinese bread I prefer COFCO. They have really fresh and tasty bread.
