On my way back from the street, I bought bread at this shop without thinking, as I have purchased from here a few times before. I was surprised when I saw the review from the last time I visited this shop. It turns out that I coincidentally buy bread from here as a souvenir when I visit my friend's family. Even though I originally planned to buy bread from a different shop, most of the bread was sold out, so I made a little detour to come here to buy some. It has been five years since I stayed overnight at my friend's family home. I remember changing into a kimono here before going to SEN, a new restaurant that opened on Gojo. I remember struggling to register SEN on the review site because I'm not good at registering, so I asked a friend who is good at it to help me. I also remember asking for help from a friend to register when there was a rice shortage. It's been five years already. This time, I visited my friend's mother for lunch. My friend made dry curry for lunch, and we had bread, cinnamon chocolate, rum raisin, sweet potato, and three puddings for dessert. Their house is a favorite of mine, a mansion built in the early Taisho era with a mix of Japanese and Western styles. We had a lively conversation while eating bread and I ended up feeling full. I took the sweet potato and one pudding home. I relaxed and read some books, and the sweet potato was so light that I finished it in no time. The pudding was light and easy to eat. I was surprised when I saw the review from the last time I visited this shop, as I mentioned earlier. My friend's mother still seems healthy and can walk on her own at 96 years old. Their house is old but well-maintained, and I would love to visit again. Next time, I might buy some bread from here again. 🍞

From Saba-kaido to entering Kyoto city! I came across a bakery called Muto-san on the rarely passed route from Ohara to Iwakura, and it looks delicious! They have a wide variety of sweets, but the baguettes all look delicious. After checking the reviews, it seems that the baguettes are excellent. I decided to purchase the Bostock, which is a fusion with baguettes. This was definitely the right choice. The flavor of the baguette itself, combined with the syrup and ingredients that are thoroughly soaked in, creates a delicious fusion. I am looking forward to my next visit!

A bakery in Iwakura area. It stands out with a stylish exterior among not many shops around. I bought a bread with sausage inside and a croissant. The bread with sausage was soft and delicious. The croissant had a strong presence of butter.

Iwakura on the Eizan Electric Railway Kurama Line, in front of Kino Station, there is a bakery called Les Freres Moutaux. The bread, which has a solid weight, is soft and has a slightly rich flavor, making it delicious on its own or paired with a drink! The baked goods are also well-made and recommended. They even have cakes that are popular, but all the products are a bit pricey, possibly due to the high-quality ingredients used.

I had a cream puff and it was delicious. The cream had a rich flavor, but the puff pastry was average and not very distinctive. I think it's better than the ones from convenience stores.

On the way to Anrakuji Temple and Kifune Shrine, I came across this bakery. I decided to get off the bus and visit this charming bakery in a peaceful setting. It has a lovely atmosphere. I purchased bread, rusk, and cookies. (I ate them outside so I couldn't take a good picture, unfortunately)

I bought a baguette from the Iwakura branch of Le Frere Mutou to accompany tonight's dinner of cheese and red wine. I considered eating it on the terrace, but I couldn't just nibble on the baguette, so maybe next time I'll take my time to enjoy it outside. Located at 813-3 Iwakura Hataeda-cho, Sakyo-ku, Kyoto City, Kyoto.

At the Takashimaya Kyoto underground bread corner, there was a limited-time pop-up shop. The main store is located in Iwakura. The melon pan has an elegant cookie dough that is slightly crispy. It reminds you of lightly fallen snow. The roughly crushed cube sugar adds an accent. It is an elegant melon pan. The blueberry egg tart baked goods are also delicious! I bought it based on reviews. When warmed in a toaster, the egg filling part becomes soft and jiggly. It has a gentle sweetness.

There was a shop near the station. Inside the shop, they sold not only bread but also a variety of baked goods and sweets. The macarons looked delicious, but I had plans afterwards and couldn't carry them, so I had to give up. The mentaiko croissant was quite oily and had a juicy texture. There was a generous amount of mentaiko butter inside, but it didn't have a particularly spicy taste. The almond croissant had a heavy almond dough inside, with a butter-soaked, dense texture. It was topped with sliced almonds and crispy almond dough. There was no taste of alcohol, just a simple combination of various almond shapes and croissant. Both pastries had a satisfying topping. They had a variety of bread options that could be a good alternative to a meal, so it seems like a good spot for a casual lunch. I would like to go back if I have the chance.

Sweet bread, savory bread, sandwiches, cakes. A gentle and consistent flavor that is universally loved. Personally, I prefer a slightly punchier taste with hints of liquor, spices, and the richness of butter, even if it may seem a bit bland to some. However, it is not at all unpleasant; the flavors are gentle, well-crafted, and likable. For example, the way the sandwiches are filled, the uniformity of the bread's color, and the level of rise in the bread. Despite being run by a limited number of staff, the lack of inconsistency in the finished products shows the high level of consciousness and care put into their work. Prices have naturally risen due to the circumstances, but I believe they are generally about 15% higher compared to my usual go-to spot.

Woodland Cheese Cookie crust with a soft, flavorful cheese souffle on top. Not my favorite but delicious. Fluffy hard bread, salted roll with plenty of butter, juicy salted bread.

There is a bakery near Eizan Electric Railway Kino Station that serves delicious bread and sweets. While it's common to find bakeries with delicious cakes, it's rare to find one with equally tasty bread. I tried the French toast Kino Cheese (baked cheesecake) and Kenbu Nankin (bite-sized pumpkin cake). The French toast had a crispy surface and moist interior, making it perfect and irresistible. The Kino Cheese had a refreshing taste with a rich texture, very delicious. The bite-sized cheesecake was similar to sweet potato sweet in texture, utilizing the gentle sweetness of pumpkin to perfection. Overall, the quality is high, making it suitable for both lunch and snacks. I highly recommend stopping by during your visit to Kurama and Kibune for sightseeing.
