I was walking around Yushima Station after a long time, and I came across a bakery where I had purchased bread before. I couldn't remember if this was the same place. It's famous for its grape bread. I remember buying a "Kyoho Grape Bread (1 loaf for 1650 yen at the time)" in 2018. Today, if they had grape bread, I planned to buy it again. I found a slightly smaller "Grape Bread (including tax and bag for 1058 yen)" in the store. When I got home, I sliced it. It didn't have the same impact as the Kyoho grape bread, but it still had a decent amount of grapes, which made me feel a little happy. I had a bite of it as it was, like regular bread, and the next day I had it toasted. Personally, I prefer it toasted. Grape bread... It's nostalgic and makes me feel sentimental. I wonder if young people these days also eat it?

One day, I went to the department store basement to buy bread, but I felt an inexplicable urge to visit a bakery that is not like the ones typically found in department store basements. So, I visited this shop called "Budou Pan to Coffee no Mise Mai Tsuru." This bakery was established in 1980 and specialized in grape bread in 2001. It is located near Yushima Station, but also close to Ueno Station and Okachimachi Station. With Ueno Park and Yushima Tenjin Shrine nearby, it's a nice place to visit while taking a stroll. Inside the shop, there are grape bread, sweet bread, and savory bread displayed. Although the seating is limited, you can also enjoy the bread inside the shop. This time, I purchased the following three items: "Grape Bread (small)" for 648 yen, "Cream Pan" for 200 yen, and "Ebi Dog" for 367 yen. The grape bread was surprisingly heavy with plenty of grapes inside, giving a sweet and sour taste. The bread itself had a crispy texture. The cream pan had a nostalgic glove shape with a generous amount of sweet cream inside a soft bread. The Ebi Dog featured shrimp cutlet and homemade tartar sauce sandwiched with shredded cabbage. The shrimp flavor was a bit subtle, and the tartar sauce was more like egg salad. The bread was simple with a slightly dry texture. Overall, I usually don't choose grape bread, but the grape bread here was different with juicy grapes and a unique taste. It might be a good choice for a souvenir as grape bread tends to have a good shelf life.

I visited the coffee and grape bread shop "Maitsuru" located a 1-minute walk from Yushima Station. I arrived around noon on Saturday and there was no wait. I was able to pay smoothly. I purchased a grape bread rusk for 486 yen. The grape bread rusk comes in a pack of 4. The rusk is filled with plenty of raisins and is delicious. The crispy texture of the rusk combined with the chewy texture of the raisins is enjoyable. I enjoyed it until the very end.

This is a town bakery famous for its grape bread. Due to budget constraints, I purchased grape bread rusks (486 yen) that were baked twice. The rusk itself is hard and rough, but the raisins, despite being baked, are still juicy and sticky. They have a caramelized flavor that is fragrant and sweet. I plan to try the regular grape bread that is not baked twice in the future.

This is a famous bakery near Yushima Station known for its grape bread. Established in 1980, it specialized in grape bread in 2001. I visited the bakery to purchase grape bread that is said to be filled with plenty of grapes. Located along Showa Bridge Street, the bakery is easy to find. The grape bread comes in two sizes, large for 850 yen and small for 550 yen. I bought the small one and enjoyed it at home. The small grape bread was quite heavy, and when I cut it with a bread knife, a large amount of raisins came out. This was amazing. I quickly toasted it, spread some butter, and enjoyed it. The sweetness of the raisins, the flavor of the butter, and the crispy bread combined to make it delicious. I recommend toasting it, with or without butter. It was a grape bread that made me want to come back for more. Thank you for the meal.

I had a great time doing a bar hopping in Ueno and also made sure to do some bread hunting. I walked all the way here, with the nearest station being Yushima Station and Ueno being within walking distance too. I had only seen pictures of the bread here, so I assumed it was a trendy bakery, but it turned out to be a charming retro bakery. The owner was a kind-looking old man, and I really loved the vibe here. I got a grape bread roll and a natural yeast bread. When I cut into the grape bread, I was surprised to see grapes popping out. I couldn't believe how many grapes were in there! They were generously packed. I would recommend this to anyone who loves grapes. When I reheated them, the bread was crispy and light, with a strong grape flavor overpowering the bread itself. It's all about the grapes in these breads.

I had some errands in Yushima, so before that, I decided to visit a grape bread shop that had caught my eye. When I entered the shop, the owner was relaxing in a chair, haha. I was aiming for the limited edition Kyoho grape bread and chestnut collaboration, but both baskets were already empty. It had only been about 30 minutes since they opened, so were they already sold out, or maybe they hadn't finished baking them yet? The truth remains unknown, but since there was nothing I could do about it, I opted for the regular grape bread. However, I noticed a new cinnamon-flavored one, so I chose that instead. I also picked up a curry bread for ¥180 and a cheese triangle for ¥180, along with a few other savory pastries. When I opened the grape bread, it was packed with raisins! There were so many that it was a bit difficult to eat. The cinnamon flavor was a good choice, as it added some variety. The other bread had a simple and homely taste, typical of a neighborhood bakery. The curry bread was generously filled and quite enjoyable! The prices were reasonable, and if this bakery were nearby, I would definitely visit again. I hope to try the Kyoho grape bread someday! Well, I guess I could just make a reservation, haha. Thank you for the meal!

I visited the shop around noon on Saturday and there were about two groups of people waiting in front of the shop. The shop seemed to be run by a man alone. On this day at this time, there were still quite a few grape breads left, but there were no Kyoho grape breads. I think there were also melon bread, cream bread, and croissants. I was able to use PayPay. Since it was my first visit, I purchased the basic "grape bread (large)" and "grape bread rusk". They were quite heavy. Look at the amount of raisins! They were very juicy, more like "grapes" than raisins. Although I knew beforehand, I couldn't help but laugh as I cut the bread in half. There were really too many raisins, haha. It was a struggle to toast them as they crumbled and fell apart. They were even more delicious when cut thickly, toasted, and generously topped with butter. It was a grape bread with plenty of talk value.

Cinnamon raisin bread is a limited-time offer, so I bought it right away. It was reasonably priced at 650 yen. When I cut it open, it was filled with lots of raisins. The dough has a subtle cinnamon aroma. The bread itself is delicious and I could keep eating it without realizing. It's really tasty.

I wanted to try the grape bread here and visited after a long time. It has been since February 2022, I think. Inside the store, there are grape breads everywhere, but when I took a closer look, I noticed that there were different types. Oh, really? But in the end, I always go for the same "small grape bread" and "grape bread rusk." The former doesn't disappoint grape lovers, with plenty of grapes packed inside! It's really delicious. The latter also doesn't disappoint grape lovers, with plenty of grapes packed inside! It's really delicious. The flavor of the bread dough also stands out. These items are from "Bois de Boulogne." I would like to visit "Bois de Boulogne" someday too. The pandemic has brought new challenges. Thank you for the meal!

After about 1 year and 2 months, I visited the "Coffee & Grape Bread Shop Mai Tsuru" in Yushima again, with the main purpose of buying their famous grape bread. I arrived at the shop around 3 PM, worried that they might be sold out, but luckily there were still 3 left, and I was able to get them. The prices were as follows: - Large Grape Bread: 850 yen - Grape Bread Rusk: 450 yen There was also a Kyoho Grape bread available for 1,900 yen, but I decided to pass on that due to the high price. The next morning, when I cut into the grape bread, a large amount of raisins spilled out! The grape bread from Mai Tsuru is always packed with grapes, and it never fails to make me smile. I toasted it and spread a generous amount of butter on top. The sweetness of the raisins combined with the butter was so indulgent, and even though I know it's high in calories, I couldn't resist. While I don't want to have it too often, it's a flavor that I crave from time to time. The Grape Bread Rusk had an additional sweetness from Isella and Caramandel, making it almost too hard for my teeth. It had a crispy texture with a hint of roasted raisins, perfect with black coffee. After enjoying the overflowing grape bread after a long time, it was still delicious. Thank you for the meal!

Grape bread is a specialty here, with small size priced at 550 yen and large size at 850 yen. They also offer a limited edition Kyoho grape version on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays for 1900 yen, but I opted for the regular grape bread due to the high price. The bread has a shelf life of 5 days, so buying the large size should not be a problem. From the outside, you can't tell the difference, but once you cut it open, you'll see it packed full of raisins, almost spilling out. The raisins are arranged in a swirl pattern, giving it a homemade feel. While the bread is famous for being filled with grapes, the bread itself lacks a bit of moisture, feeling slightly dry. I also purchased an apricot bread, shaped like an apple, with chunks of apricot mixed into the soft bread, creating a delicious balance.

I finally went to this shop that I had been curious about for a while. I bought a small grape bread and a chestnut collaboration anpan. The next morning, I started with the grape bread. It was covered in grapes just as rumored. It tastes even better with butter spread on it. It's the kind of bread you can easily finish in one go.

I visited a bakery that I had been curious about since it was featured on TV shows like Arashi ni Shiyagare. I purchased some grape bread made with natural yeast to take home. I arrived around 11:45 on a weekday and there were some customers already there, but it wasn't crowded. The grape bread made with natural yeast is only available on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays. When I picked it up, it felt heavier than regular bread. When I cut it open, it was filled with plenty of grapes, making it dense and heavy. The taste was delicious, with both the grapes and the dough being substantial. I also bought another bread, which had Kyoho grapes, chestnuts, and red bean paste inside (I don't remember the name). This bread was also dense and packed with ingredients. If I ever crave a bread with lots of grapes, I would definitely visit this bakery again.

There was no coffee, only a bakery. They had grape bread for 1900 yen, which seemed expensive. I only bought a small grape bread for 550 yen. When I cut into it, the grapes fell apart. It tasted like raisins! There were too many raisins, so that's all you could taste. The bread was a bit dry. It was not delicious, but interesting. Thank you for the meal. I asked the old man who was packing the grape bread for the bill. I thought he was the one baking, but when I checked the label at home, it was made in Asakusa. A grape bread shop, huh. It was fun. Grape bread small 550 yen.

As I heard, there were really a lot of raisins in the bread. During the two and a half hour journey, the lively raisins seemed to be dancing and peeking out. There were so many raisins that I thought I would just end up eating raisins, but the bread also insisted and we enjoyed it as "raisin bread".

I found a bakery on the internet that I had been curious about for a long time! It was more like a cafe than I had imagined. The owner? kindly explained about the bread. It's a bread that I definitely want to try once. I would like to visit again if I'm near there.

A small bakery near Yushima Station. I heard from a friend that this place is famous for its grape bread, so I stopped by on my way to Yushima Tenjin. When I got home and sliced the bread, there were really a lot of raisins inside...almost more grapes than bread, haha. It's delicious to eat as is, and also tasty when toasted the next day. I definitely want to go buy it again!

I had some errands at Ueno PARCO, and since I was in the area, I wanted to go on a bread tasting adventure. I found this shop on Tabelog and it was only a 5-minute walk from PARCO. The shop was small with a staircase leading up to where the bread was displayed. There was a long table in the back where a regular customer was chatting happily with the staff. I was torn between getting a cream bread or something else, but the staff recommended the grape bread, so I decided to go with that. I bought the larger size for 850 yen, which seemed a bit pricey. However, when I picked up the bread, I was surprised by how heavy it was! The staff then exchanged the bread I picked for a neater-looking one. When I got home and cut into the bread, I couldn't help but laugh. The grape bread had such a unique cross-section, with a dense dough and plenty of grapes. The bread was not too sweet, allowing the sweetness and juiciness of the grapes to shine through. Each slice revealed a different pattern, making it a fun and delicious experience. I will definitely be going back. It's a dream come true for bread lovers like me.

I visited this shop known for its famous grape bread at Yushima. The grape bread comes in two sizes, small for ¥550 and large for ¥850. It's a special bread with plenty of raisins stuffed into a slightly small-sized loaf of bread. When I was about to buy it, the staff recommended, "Today we have a special Kyoho grape bread that is only available on Tuesdays, Fridays, and Saturdays." Even though today was not one of those days, they were able to specially source Kyoho raisins and baked only 4 loaves! The price was a whopping ¥1900!! It was expensive, and I hesitated for a moment, but the staff kindly suggested, "It's pricey, but think of it as buying a cake and give it a try." It didn't feel pushy at all, but rather a genuine recommendation to try something delicious. So, I bought it along with the limited edition "Chestnut Collaboration Anpan" for ¥380. When I held the grape bread, it was surprisingly heavy for a loaf of bread! I took it home and toasted it lightly. Inside, it was packed with Kyoho raisins! Although it didn't taste exactly like Kyoho grapes, the raisins were more juicy than usual and had a faint Kyoho aroma. The natural yeast bread dough was also dense and satisfying. What I liked even more was the "Chestnut Collaboration Anpan"! It had a cupcake-like shape with white bean paste, Kyoho raisins, walnuts, and chestnuts inside. The raisins and walnuts were mixed into the white bean paste, and there was a candied chestnut on top, creating an interesting combination of flavors. Despite seeming like an odd mix, the ingredients went well together, offering various tastes and textures that were enjoyable and delicious! This shop used to be a cafe, judging from its interior, but now it has transformed into a full-fledged bakery with bread and tools on display. Aside from grape bread, they also have various sweet and savory bread. There aren't many bakeries around Yushima, so this shop is quite valuable in that sense.
