Visited on Saturday morning. Some breads were sold out at this popular shop. Bought the Third Melon Pan, Salami Bread, and Karaage Bread. All were delicious. Good value for money. Location is not very convenient, but would definitely buy again if in the area.

I visited for the first time and bought a few items. The croissant was not exceptionally crispy but had a nice buttery aroma. However, considering the size and price, I thought it was a bit expensive. The BLT sandwich was filled with regular bacon, lettuce, tomato, and eggs, making it quite hearty. The French bread was a bit tough for a sandwich, making it a bit hard to eat, but I still found it delicious. The spinach and sesame bread had a strong sesame flavor and the combination of cheese and spinach was tasty. The recommended item, the melon pan, had a crispy cookie top, soft pastry inside, and a sugary coating on the bottom, which was deliciously sweet and satisfying. The cranberry and cheese campagne had a sweet cream cheese filling with berries, and although the outer crust was firm, the inside was soft. The toast was crispy and delicious, with a unique taste after toasting. The aged baguette had a thick, hard crust and a chewy inside, with a strong aroma and a satisfying hardness. The salted butter roll was unremarkable, with a bland taste and a texture that was neither soft nor hard. There were some items that seemed a bit overpriced or average, but overall, the impression was good. The staff were friendly and helpful, offering to pack the baguette and slice the toast.

In the evening, I stopped by with my family during a walk and bought some items for breakfast the next morning. It was past 4 p.m., so many items were sold out. Prices are all excluding tax. Bologna sausage focaccia for 280 yen - Thick sausage with rich cheese on chewy focaccia provides a satisfying taste. Frankfurter on a stick for 190 yen - A classic deliciousness. Salted chocolate pretzel for 200 yen - When warmed in a toaster, the large chocolate chips inside the dough melt nicely.

It's a shame. The food is delicious, but the long wiener was a bit dry, almost like salami. I was surprised that the tartar shrimp fry focaccia had a crispy batter even when it was cold! However, I wish it had more shrimp flavor. The Basque cheese had a slightly burnt taste. Overall, I like this restaurant, so I would like to stop by again if I have the chance.

Heading towards Kyoto for some errands. It's lunchtime but don't have much time... In times like this, I browse through Tabelog with my bread-loving companion and found Bakehouse Meiru ♬ Off we went right away~ The shop is near the Y intersection. Seems like there's no parking, so my companion stayed in the car for a while. We entered the shop^ ^ It's small but with lots of bread varieties on the shelves ♬ Seems like the melon pan is recommended^ ^ But there are also plenty of savory bread and sandwich options❗️ We love savory bread♬ This is happiness (*^_^*) Hurriedly chose as my companion was waiting (^^; Today, we bought a savory bread and anko butter bread. Let's dig in right away(o^^o) The savory bread is packed with ingredients. The mayonnaise is so tasty‼️ The anko butter bread has plenty of anko and butter. The butter is rich~♬ We only bought two this time, but there are still many more breads to try❗️I come to Kyoto for errands sometimes, so next time I definitely want to buy more (^_-)v Thanks for the delicious bread m(_ _)m

I was in Nagaokakyo today. I visited a popular bakery within walking distance from JR Nagaokakyo Station called BAKE HOUSE Mere. They are known for their natural bread made with "homemade natural yeast." The variety of bread available was impressive, but what caught my eye was the melon bread that had a sign saying "featured on TV." This "Third Melon Bread" seems to be the most popular bread at BAKE HOUSE Mere. So, I bought that popular bread and headed home. The surface of the Third Melon Bread is made of butter cookie dough, the middle layer is Danish dough, and the bottom layer is Kouign-Amann dough, creating a three-layer structure. It has a rich buttery flavor, and the crispy texture of the Kouign-Amann dough is irresistible. It was a delicious melon bread with a harmonious blend. The creamy donut with a creamy center was shaped like a mountain. It had a satisfying weight to it and was filled with plenty of cream. Surprisingly, it wasn't overly sweet but had just the right amount of sweetness. It gives the impression of a bakery that pays attention to details. I enjoyed tasting these two breads (^-^)

Bakehouse Mail Croissant ¥151, Sesame Bread with Schzett Ham and Burdock Salad ¥270. I tried the croissant. It's a croissant filled with thin dough. I could taste vegetable oil. The Sesame Bread with Schzett Ham and Burdock Salad was delicious. The side dishes and Danish pastries looked tasty. Located at 1-6 Baba Mibarashi, Nagaokakyo City, Kyoto Prefecture.

This is Bakery Mail located in Nagaokakyo City, Kyoto Prefecture. The place is a 5-minute walk northeast from Nagaokakyo Station on the JR Kyoto Line East Exit, at the corner of Garasha Street and Mitsubishi Street. It's a small shop, but there are many types of bread crammed in. The purchased items were Anno-imo Campanula 220 yen (excluding tax), which has plenty of delicious Anno-imo inside, but it doesn't match the hard outer bread. In addition, the hard bread is coated with honey, completely overshadowing the goodness of Anno-imo with its hardness. What a waste... Third Melon Pan 220 yen (excluding tax) was mentioned to have appeared on TV. The inside is like a Danish, and the bottom is like a croissant? It's delicious. Brioche Cream Bread 180 yen (excluding tax) has plenty of cream and is delicious, but the bread is not good. The bread is not tasty. Mixed Sandwich 180 yen (excluding tax) seems like it was made with no motivation. The bread is dry, and convenience store sandwiches are ten times tastier. It might be better not to have it. In conclusion, judging from the above bread, they have the skills in bread making and seem to be serious about product development. Also, the appearance of the shop is fine. The price range felt rather cheap. What's missing... ingredients, product composition, atmosphere, etc... Overall, around 10 points at a glance. Even without spending much money, I think they have the potential to become a popular shop soon. With a little ingenuity, they could even become a top shop. Still, it's a shame.

I'm in Nagaokakyo for work. Let's grab lunch before heading to the office. There aren't many shops near the station, but there's a bakery a short walk away. It's a small bakery with a nice atmosphere and a wide variety of delicious-looking bread. The lively female staff create a warm feeling, which is great. The shop is narrow, so it can be a bit challenging to choose when it's crowded and you have to navigate around other customers. I bought various items like a cheese sandwich and a croissant, but the best was the red bean butter bread!! It's a small French bread with red bean paste and butter. The combination of red bean paste and butter was incredibly delicious!! Of course, the other bread was also tasty, but you can't eat them all at once, so I'll have to visit again soon~♪∽♪∝♪------------------------------------------♪∽♪∝♪[Location]■10 minutes from Nagaokakyo Station (JR)[Ease of Entry]◎(Recommended) ★(Easy to enter) ☆(Difficult to enter)Solo Male・・・★　Multiple Men・・・★Solo Female・・・★　Multiple Women・・・★Couples・・・・★　Mixed Groups・・★Families・・・・・★[Customer Base]□Teens　■20s　■30s-40s　■50s-60s□70s+ □Foreigners □Tourists 　□Families with kids[Nutrition]■Carbs　□Protein　■Fat　□Fiber□Vitamins　□Minerals　□Polyphenols[Others]□Scenery　□Private Room　□Semi-Private Room　□Tatami Room　□Sunken Kotatsu■Quiet Atmosphere　□Can Stay Long　□Reservations Required　□Lines□Enjoyable　□Serving Speed　□Near Station 　□Instagrammable♪∽♪∝♪------------------------------------------♪∽♪∝♪

Bakehouse Mehl in Nagaokakyo is a bakery in an area that is not visited very often. They don't have seating for dining in, but they seem to have a decent variety of bread. I can't evaluate the taste of the shop without trying their side dishes, haha. The bread is neither good nor bad, just fluffy.

Although I can't say I'm a bread connoisseur, the bread here is delicious even down to the crust.

The bakery we used to visit often when our kids were little has evolved a lot, and it makes me happy ❤️

Miso Chicken Cutlet ==================

Get the cream bread at Pan Marche. It's so delicious!!

Number of visits: 3 times Despite passing by many times, I never had the chance to visit this restaurant due to it being either before opening or after closing. The interior is spacious and they have a wide variety of breads ranging from 140 yen to 280 yen each. The breads tend to be on the denser side, but they are satisfying to eat. I personally like them.

◆4th visit (April 2018, Saturday, around 8:30 pm) Working on a holiday at the end of the month. On days like this, I want to eat something delicious for lunch, but there's nothing around my workplace... Furaibou is crowded... That's when this bakery is really appreciated! I checked and it seems they are open from 6:30 am to 6:30 pm. Quite early. Open from Monday to Saturday, which is really convenient for locals. This time, I tried the following 3 items: ● Uguisu Bread I forgot to note down the price from the receipt. "It's made with uguisu beans..." I was teased, but I really wanted to eat this f^_^; The bread is chewy and fluffy, with a nice clean taste without any unnecessary ingredients. The beans are not overly soaked in syrup, just the right sweetness. ● Sausage Frank 160 yen (excluding tax) A classic! The bread was soft and delicious. ● Chocolate Melon Pan 140 yen (excluding tax) This one, the article is chocolate-colored, so I thought it would have chocolate inside, but it was too subtle. As a chocolate lover, I was a bit disappointed. There were a few small chunks of crushed chocolate inside... I think people who specifically buy chocolate melon pan are mostly chocolate lovers, so it would be nice to have a bit more chocolate flavor! I will definitely go back!

◆Third Visit (April 2018, Saturday, around 9:30 AM) A charming bakery in Nagaokakyo caught my attention. It's been a while since my last visit. As expected, the morning selection is great! The decor is cute and gets you excited. The "Third Melon Pan" with double chocolate and matcha for 240 yen (excluding tax) is a seasonal item. The contrast between the crispy exterior and fluffy interior is lovely! While the outside is sweet, the inside is plain, creating a nice balance. It might be even more appealing if it had a bit less sweetness. It's a bit sticky to the touch. The Smoked Salmon & Potato Salad Rye Sandwich for 320 yen (excluding tax) is a weekend special. The combination is bound to be delicious! The saltiness is just right, and it tasted great. The Purple Sweet Potato Normandy for 160 yen (excluding tax) wasn't as tasty as expected. It feels a bit lacking in chewiness. I wish there was a bakery like this near my house. Thank you for the meal.
