Fruit crumble (plum, apple) for 320 yen (tax included) and Bonborone chocolate for 310 yen (tax included). I came by bicycle. They are only open four days a week, so it was hard to come, but I finally made it. They are famous for their hard bread, but I chose donuts and crumble. Both were very delicious. I will go again. Thank you for the meal.

This bakery in Kyoto is gaining attention for its wide variety of whole grain breads, including over 5 different types. They also offer fruit and nut breads, levain breads, and a selection of pastries like tarts, scones, donuts, and galettes. I tried the Whole Wheat Plain Levain, which had a strong sour flavor due to the high whole grain content. The Baguette was a versatile option with a neutral taste, while the Square Loaf had a dense texture and a slightly dry crust. Overall, the breads were not too sweet and lacked a distinctive flavor profile, which may not suit everyone's taste preferences. Despite the high prices, the quality and uniqueness of the breads are evident, making it a worthwhile visit for bread enthusiasts.

Fourth stop on my bread journey in Kyoto. I came here to get revenge because last time they were almost sold out when I visited. This place is popular for their hard bread, but I was actually here for the scones! I had read about a scone made with Kujo green onions and was really looking forward to trying it. Unfortunately, they didn't have any scones at all, but the bread I did get was so delicious that I wish I had bought more. I visited around 12:30 on a Saturday and the shop is quite small, only allowing up to 2 people inside at a time. There was always a line of 2-3 people waiting outside. The products are labeled as dairy-free and egg-free, which was reassuring. I ended up choosing the Olive Ciabatta for 260 yen. It was a large size and very tasty. When I reheated it, the crust was crispy and the inside was moist and fluffy. The saltiness of the green olives was just right. I really enjoyed the flavor! I wish I had bought more, but I will definitely come back next time.

I purchased ciabatta at a bakery that mainly sells Italian and American bread. They combine blue cheese with honey, figs, and other dried fruits. The walnut was also delicious. The ciabatta was moist and chewy.

Located in the southern part of the Imperial Palace, this small bakery had a sign at the entrance that read, "Only up to two people allowed inside." Luckily, there was no one else there so I could enter right away. I bought a smoked chicken sandwich and a cream-filled donut, and enjoyed them on a bench in the shade of the Imperial Palace. It felt so luxurious!

Bread Mania's activity diary (￣Д￣)ﾉ I had been checking out this bakery for a while. It is located about a 10-minute walk from Marutamachi Station and mainly sells American and Italian bread. It has many days off, so it was a bit intimidating, but I visited on a day off for a walk. The small shop stands quietly in a residential area, almost like you could easily pass by without noticing it. Only one group can enter at a time, so there is always a line outside. There aren't that many types of bread. Mainly hard bread, with a few Danish pastries and sandwiches. This time, I bought the following 4 items: Fruit and Nut Scone 310 yen. Very sweet and full of ingredients! Cranberry Walnut Bread (1/2) 490 yen. Rich wheat flavor and easy to eat. Pizza Rossa 220 yen. Pizza Bianca stretched thinly, baked with homemade tomato sauce and olive oil. The bread dough is quite prominent. Carrot Cake 300 yen. Moist and substantial carrot cake. It is possible to reserve products in advance by phone. If you have a specific bread in mind, it's better to reserve it to avoid worrying about it being sold out. Thank you for the meal ★

When I visited Kyoto, I visited a bakery that uses various types of yeast to make a variety of breads. The bakery was quite intriguing! There was only one customer ahead of us when we arrived, and another person lined up outside after us. The interior was small, only enough space for 1-2 people. The shelves were filled with various breads, pastries, sandwiches, and different types of bread made with different yeasts. It was hard to decide what to buy, but with someone waiting behind us, we quickly made our choices with the help of the staff. We couldn't buy too much to take home this time, but all the breads looked tempting. We chose a hard bread made with San Francisco sourdough, a stretchy type of ciabatta dough, and a carrot cake. The California sourdough had a firm crust and a mild acidity inside, making it easy to eat and versatile for meals. The ciabatta with sesame seeds had a light and crispy crust, perfect for sandwiches or pairing with soup. The carrot cake, without cream, had finely shredded carrots, walnuts, raisins, and a hint of cinnamon flavor. It was moist and slightly chewy, with just the right amount of sweetness. Although both breads were delicious with simple and refreshing flavors, they didn't leave a strong impression, so it was a bit of a selection mistake. (Overall rating includes expectations and a desire to revisit) The bakery, with its variety of breads and pastries made using different yeasts from America, Italy, and other countries, would be a paradise for bread enthusiasts. If I have the chance to go again, I would like to try something with a different flavor profile.

Popular bakery in Kyoto! The interior of the store is small, allowing only one group to enter at a time. When I visited, there was already one group inside so I waited outside. It must be tough in the rain or cold. I purchased pizza bread and sesame bread, both of which were delicious. It's rare to find a bakery specializing in hard bread, so it's a must-visit for hard bread lovers! My friend bought baguettes and carrot cake. Each item is reasonably priced, so I wanted to buy a lot.

The sandwiches with hummus and paprika, the brownie with citrus jam, the pie with citrus jam, and the French toast with citrus jam are all delicious. The bread from this bakery is also delicious, just like the ones they used to post on their other account. This bakery is one of my top five favorite bakeries in Kyoto!

Located south of the Kyoto Imperial Palace in a quiet area, this bakery is very small and only offers takeout. It seems to be an American bakery, but do they have bagels? As I looked around the products, I found ciabatta, durum semolina bread, panettone, and pandoro, giving off a strong Italian vibe. "Dough" refers to unbaked bread or pastry dough, with "dough" being "doughnuts" and "pasta" in Italy. They seem to be open only on Mondays, Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays, with detailed updates recommended on Twitter. When two people entered, the small shop was already full, with about 20 different types of bread on display. I couldn't take any photos as it was prohibited. - Olive Bread 1/2 385 yen (tax included): A hard bread made with California sourdough and two types of cut olives, frozen for a few days and then reheated. It looks airy, so it's not as hard as it seems, and when warmed up, the crumb is fluffy. The contrast with the crust is clear. - Ciabatta with Blue Cheese and Walnuts 280 yen: Made with walnut dough wrapped around blue cheese. When warmed up, the scent of cheese is prominent. It gives off a serious bread vibe. I was interested in Pane di Altamura, but it was too big. I love durum semolina bread...

Before visiting Mr. Tamagawa, I went just before closing time. There were still quite a few types of bread left, which was helpful for me. The store is small and mainly focuses on American-style bread. The bold hard bread caught my eye. I was recommended the California Sourdough 1/2 for its mild acidity, a San Francisco-style homemade sourdough bread. The crust was very firm, making it difficult to cut with a knife. It was the hardest bread I've ever had – people with dental crowns might struggle. The flavor was indeed mild and the wheat taste became stronger as I chewed. The Fig Bread 1/2, with figs compoted in red wine and anise, was much softer compared to the previous one. The Pecan Roll, a classic American sweet bread, was deliciously sweet with pecan nuts and caramel on a cinnamon roll. The Hard Toast, made from French bread dough, had a crispy texture when toasted. The Cheese Roll had a gentle cheese flavor on a soft dough. The Blue Cheese and Walnut Ciabatta, an Italian bread popular in America, had a unique cheese aroma that whetted the appetite. The Cinnamon Sugar Donut, a gift for my daughter, was very moist.

Oh, my goodness!! Bombolone Italian fried bread. The custard inside was just like the taste I used to eat in Italy, it was amazing. It has less cream than in Italy, but it is still delicious. Babka Chocolate swirl bread. A bread from Israel that has been trending in America recently, and has been popular in Japan since last year. The first time I tried it was probably here, and the one here is the most delicious so far. Fig and almond cream tartlet Using Pain au lait dough, topped with figs, and with almond cream mixed in the bread. The dough is delicious, but the balance with the figs is not quite right. Beet and ricotta ciabatta What is this! Delicious! The ciabatta is so crispy and fragrant, and it's the first time I've been able to enjoy it so much. In addition to the combination of beets and ricotta, there is also arugula, wine vinegar, maple syrup, nuts, and a parade of delicious ingredients. Is this France or Italy? I have a memory of the delicious carrot cake, banana bread, raisin roll, and pecan roll I bought before. However, I won't be buying the sandwich bread again due to the cost performance. They are closed often, but if they are open, I would definitely want to visit. Addendum: Revisited so. Focaccia sandwich (ham and pesto) The filling was not as impressive maybe because there was little pesto. But the focaccia itself is delicious. A light focaccia. Lemon cream bread Lemon cream with citrus other than lemon was used, and it was of high quality. The cream is superb. Scone A scone with raspberry jam on top. It's a flat American-style scone, I think. I usually don't like this type, but this one was incredibly delicious. I'll buy it again. Crumble A bread that looks like a tart with apple crumble on top. The bottom is not a tart base but bread dough. The crumble is crunchy and chunky, so I was under the illusion that the top was a tart base. Both the filling and the crumble are hearty and wonderful.

Located in Nakagyo-ku, Kyoto, this bakery offers a wide variety of sandwiches and sweet breads. While the prices may seem a bit high, each item is generously sized and incredibly delicious, making it worth it. The Table Roll, priced at 210 yen for 3 pieces, has a strong saltiness that pairs well with anything, and the firm texture of the bread is satisfying to bite into. The Roast Vegetable Sandwich, priced at 300 yen, is bursting with umami flavors and has a delightful chewy texture. The curry sauce, roasted vegetables, and crunchy kaiware (daikon radish sprouts) create a delicious combination. The sauce is amazing! I highly recommend taking home one of their large, hard breads.

Visited in early July 2021, a little after 6 pm. Total spent: 630 yen. This is a shop that I hesitated to write a review about. I had actually visited before and couldn't forget the bread from my previous visit, so I came back again. Since it was evening, there were only a few side dish type bread left, but there were plenty of large hard breads lined up. That's fine with me because I was looking for these large hard breads. This time, I bought a half loaf of Pane di Altamura for about 420 yen and a sesame bread for about 200 yen. You can see from the photos. The cut section of the rock-hard bread looks like a mountain! The dense and chewy texture is evident. Lightly toasted in a Balmuda toaster and enjoyed with olive oil... Ah... the dough is delicious. The gentle aroma of olive oil (I used a good one) mixed with the scent of the bread dough wafts through the nose... I can't express it in words any further. And the sesame bread. When toasted, the savory aroma of sesame stands out, the crispy texture mixes with the dough, and it's amazing. Just like with the other bread I bought before, the dough is simply delicious. Truly delicious bakeries don't need walnuts or cream cheese, just simple bread is the best... This level of taste at this price... I think if they were to sell it in that famous bakery ◯◯, they would charge double the price (I actually saw the same type of bread being sold at double the price). The shop is small, enough for 2-3 adults, but the bread is neatly arranged, like a bakery overseas or something you would see in a movie. The location is not prominent, but I want more people to know about it, yet I also don't want it to become too popular... I hope it remains a small, hidden gem, a place where those who know about it will keep coming back. But I want everyone to know about it too!!!!! I hope it continues to thrive. Thank you for the meal. I will come again.

Dough Dubrad Orange Tartlet ¥240 Fruit and Nut Scone ¥270 It's a conservative shop in Kyoto. The taste is delicious, but they lack a business mindset. I might like this kind of shop (^^)

I visited the bakery around 6 pm on Tuesday, October 8th, just before closing. My wife had asked me to buy some bread for dinner, so I thought I would give it a try even though they were about to close. There weren't many options left, but I ended up buying a French baguette for 280 yen and a brioche custard for 230 yen. I also impulsively bought one more item that was the last one left. The baguette was delicious! The texture was crispy and fragrant. This bakery is really good!

Today I had work in Kyoto and successfully completed my mission. Before heading home, I decided to buy some souvenirs from a bakery that was closed on my last visit. It happened to be Valentine's Day, and my friend A-chan had sent me an email, so I quickly decided to get her something for White Day. I will be hosting a lunch for her on White Day. As I approached the bakery, I could smell the delicious aroma of bread. I purchased four different types of bread: peanut cream (soft), black pepper and honey (hard), blue cheese and walnut (hard), and walnut and chestnut (hard), and fig (hard). I will be giving two of these to A-chan. Unfortunately, I had to skip getting a croissant as I had to head back to work. The bread in Kyoto is truly delicious. Thank you for the wonderful meal!

I had planned to visit a donut shop, but found out it was temporarily closed, so I decided to go to a nearby bakery called Dough instead. The bakery was small and had a variety of hard breads on display. I ended up buying a few savory pastries and Danish pastries, as I had plans for lunch right after. The prices were a bit high, and the sizes were small, so it may not be suitable for a family with big eaters like mine. I bought a Pizza Rossa for 190 yen, a Cheddar Cheese and Kujo Negi scone for 260 yen, an Apple and Pear Crumble for 240 yen, and a jam-filled Danish pastry (I forgot the name). The Kujo Negi scone had a unique flavor with the green onion, which I enjoyed. The bakery seemed popular as an elderly local lady came in after me to buy some bread. It's located near the Imperial Palace, so it might be nice to enjoy the pastries outside while taking a walk. I would like to try other pastries next time I pass by. Thank you for the meal.

Dough-san, who is always impressed by rye bread, scones, and pies, never fails to excite us. We visited during lunch to lift our spirits, and on this particular day, we were delighted to find sesame-covered grissini. We ordered Bonboloni for 240 yen, three cheese rolls for 240 yen, grissini for 400 yen, and smoky carrot dip for 260 yen.
