This bakery is located within J-Town which is a collection of japanese owned independent shops.
I bought a half loaf of bread that is cut to exacting measurements based on the chart as I wanted the right bread for a french toast brulee. They make a fresh bread on the premises. It was perfect for toasting as well as the french toast recipe. In the past, using wonderbread was not suitable because I find the crust is not crisp enough and the bread is too dense. Hence, fresh bread it is. I also have found that italian bread is not square , its round so not suitable for these recipes.
The attraction is really the pastries. I was overwhelmed with french pastries while in Tokyo (even the hotel had a pastry buffet) as that seems to be the chosen type to consume.
The cakes look beautiful but I enjoy the light and flaky croissants. They also offer a delicious pear tart and an apple tart.
naturally, they also have red bean stuffed cakes and items as well.
They also funny enough have a yakisoba bun sandwich ( i will take photo next time) which is fried noodles on a bun with some veggies. I had one from the Lawsons corner store in Tokyo and it was kind of stupid and was a quick snack.
pricing is a bit high but then its quality stuff and is way cheaper than a ticket to shinjuku station
BTW...i watched a young japanese couple buy bread, and two tarts, then some food items including pickled radish, then some sushi grade tuna and ended up getting ramen bowls from the take out. i followed along and now have the recipe for my next trip. When i doubt do what the locals do and you will be fine and will have the ideal items to put in a picnic basket
