In the morning in Osaka, I visited a bakery near my hotel which was listed as one of the top 100 bakeries in Japan. I mistakenly thought it was a cafe where I could eat in, but it turned out to be takeout only. I bought two breads, one with lotus root and smoked chicken, and the other with sausage and sauerkraut. They were both around 400 yen each. The lotus root had slices of smoked chicken and cheese on top, while the sausage bread had potatoes and sauerkraut with cheese. I enjoyed them warm as I had arrived right when the store opened at 8 am. I also bought an iced coffee from a nearby convenience store to go with my breakfast.

I used takeout service. I visited after work, but the store was crowded and there was a line. I had a chocolate croissant, almond bread, coffee, and chestnut tart. The chocolate croissant had a rich buttery flavor and a great texture, very delicious! The tart had a strong chestnut and coffee flavor, with a moist taste!

There are many types of bread that you won't see in other stores! They range from 300 to 400 yen each. The bread is well-baked and delicious, such as the bell pepper and crispy bacon, focaccia with semi-dried tomatoes and mozzarella, croissants, and pain au chocolat.

PAINDUCE Panduce [Panduce as a souvenir from Osaka] 2023 Curry 168th store 208th meal September 13, 2023, 3640 curries since 2017 - Baked curry bread 350 yen - Coffee almond biscotti 260 yen I visited around 10:00 in the morning. In this area of Honmachi, within a 2-3 minute walk, there are gourmet spots such as Curry Hyakumeiten, Pan WEST Hyakumeiten, and Sweets WEST Hyakumeiten. Since this is a bakery, I decided to take some souvenirs home. I had the baked curry bread for myself and the coffee almond biscotti as a souvenir for my family. When I got home in the evening, I ate the baked curry bread. Although it's called baked curry bread, the surface is coated with fine breadcrumbs and deep-fried in oil. Therefore, it's a curry bread that has undergone the elaborate process of baking, coating with breadcrumbs, and deep-frying. The curry filling is a collaboration with a curry restaurant, using a curry filling produced by an Indian restaurant called Navin in Kyomachi Hori (probably closed) as an original from Panduce. When you eat it, you'll find a delicious curry that is easy on the palate, with chunks of potatoes inside for a great texture and taste. The biscotti also received high praise from my family. Happy ending! #GoggleMask #Acharl IKEDA #Tabelog Pan WEST Hyakumeiten 2022 #Tabelog Hyakumeiten #Bread #Curry bread

I am traveling around the country in search of truly delicious food. I love all kinds of delicious food, from high-end cuisine to casual fare.

On the final day of my gourmet trip in Osaka, I visited a bakery I had been wanting to check out called "Pandouce." The entrance was small, the menu cards were hand-drawn, and the atmosphere inside was very cute and warm. There were also baked sweets displayed, and the savory bread was lined up next to the register along with drinks. As soon as I opened the door, a wonderful aroma filled the air. I had already decided to buy the basil tomato bread, but I wanted to try something else as well. I spotted a lovely card next to the heart-shaped milk bread for ¥130. The milk bread, made with 100% milk, had a gentle sweetness that was delicious. The card mentioned the "Heart Bread Project," a donation project initiated by bread artisans. Each artisan bakes heart-shaped bread to convey their feelings, and for every heart-shaped milk bread sold at Pandouce, ¥50 is donated to the project. After reading about this project, I knew I had to get a second heart-shaped milk bread. It was my first time hearing about this project, but I hope the kindness reaches those in need. The bread was all delicious, with flavors that really came through when you took a bite. I should have bought two of the basil tomato bread. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

【Visit Date】September 5, 2023 before dinner 【Order】Baked Curry Bread I stopped by yesterday to buy breakfast for the next day before having ramen. The exposed bread was carelessly placed, which was a bit off-putting, but I still made a purchase. It's quite pricey for such a small curry bread at 350 yen. I had it the next day, and it was just okay. Thanks for the meal.

This is also a shop that you will be drawn to when passing by. On Saturday evening, there were still various types of bread available. This time, I brought home the following: - Chocolate French Toast with Cocoa Flavor (370 yen): I always buy this when it's available. It's moist and rich, and everyone in my family loves it. - Orange Peel Bread (Half loaf, 400 yen): This is my favorite bread. It's chewy and the orange peel gives it a refreshing taste. I want to savor it without toasting it for a while. - Heart-shaped Milk Bread (130 yen): The gentle sweetness of the milk in this bread is comforting. It's small in size, reasonably priced, and the heart shape is adorable.

I entered the store around 9:30 on a regular day. There were no other customers! The visuals were all small but priced in the 300 yen range. I bought a cinnamon roll. It was just sweet like sugar!! Surprisingly sweet... It felt like eating sugar... I couldn't even taste the cinnamon... It might be good for those who like sweet things, but it was just too sweet...

I visited around 3:00 pm on a regular day. I walked from Sakaisuji-Honmachi for the sake of my health, but it was too hot due to the intense heat, which was actually bad for my health, haha. There was one customer before me and one customer after me, so it wasn't crowded. They have a wide variety of items, so it's hard to choose. But I made my selections based on my gut feeling! I found brioche bread and of course, I bought it! Blueberry cream cheese for 340 yen is a classic combination of blueberry tartness and cream cheese. The chestnut croissant for 420 yen is a luxurious treat with large chestnuts in crispy dough. The honwaka-ko bread for 300 yen is recommended for those who like a refined sweetness. The salt bread for 330 yen is simple but delicious on its own or with butter. The half loaf of brioche bread for 290 yen offers a crispy new texture when toasted. I will definitely come back. Thank you for the meal.

A shop located a few minutes' walk from Honmachi Station. It is on the first floor of a building, with a bright interior covered in glass. Inside the shop, there are many types of bread lined up, and the smell of bread spreads as soon as you enter. I purchased a croissant for 300 yen and a mango melon pan. The croissant had a slightly soft and fluffy texture, with a strong butter flavor that was followed by the taste of wheat. It was fragrant and delicious. The mango melon pan, priced at 330 yen, had a chewy mango cookie dough with chunks of sweet mango puree inside. It was a pastry bread. Thank you for the meal.

I stayed at a hotel right next to the Pandoux, which is the MUJI side. The vegetable bread is famous, and I also bought the pumpkin tart and carrot egg tart. The pumpkin chicken was so delicious that I wanted to give it a higher score, but the croissant was a bit disappointing, so I held back a bit.

I suddenly had to stay in Osaka and the next morning, I was wondering where to have breakfast. I searched and found this restaurant nearby, which I decided to visit. I had heard of the name before but didn't know much about the area. The restaurant is not located in a bustling district with many shops. The interior is cozy but not cramped, with a nice open atmosphere. They offer a variety of bread, with interesting savory options catching my eye. I chose a classic croissant and a sausage sandwich with shredded cabbage stir-fried in tomato curry. The croissant had a great buttery aroma and was light and crispy. The sausage sandwich had a good curry flavor without being too heavy, making it easy to eat in the morning. The selection of savory bread likely changes daily. I really enjoyed the delicious food.

I went to a recommended bakery in Osaka by a friend. I arrived right at opening time on Monday morning, so there was no line. The small, cute shop was filled with a variety of bread. I had a hard time deciding what to buy... - Heart-shaped milk bread (130 yen): A simple bread made with 100% milk, with a gentle sweetness that is very pleasing. It's a plain but tasty bread. - Frill (270 yen): The tartness of raspberries and the exquisite sweetness of almond cream complement each other perfectly, making it very delicious! It's more like a pastry than bread. - Soft red bean bun (320 yen): This bread is also made with 100% milk. The red bean paste, which seems to be homemade, is very delicious! All of them were of high quality, so I believe the other bread items must be delicious as well. Although they are a bit pricey for their size, the taste is definitely worth it! I especially want to try the red bean bun again ☺︎

This is a bakery among the top 100 stores in 2022. They offer Croque Monsieur for 250 yen and Pinion for 270 yen. Croque Monsieur is a bread topped with white sauce, roast ham, and cheese, then baked. Pinion is a pastry made with croissant dough and almond cream. They have a variety of bread available for sale.

There is a parking lot in front of the store, but there is only a torii gate ⛩️, which is a rare sight. Across from this unusual sight, there is a bakery that offers a variety of unique pastries. It's quite difficult to choose from the selection, but these pastries would make great souvenirs. I bought a total of four pastries - two for my own breakfast and two as gifts for friends.

My partner bought this for me. It's a vegetable-filled bread, and the bread dough is all similar - a bit hard. I thought it was a complete mistake, amateur mistake...but surprisingly, it was really good. It's important to let go of preconceptions. Thank you for the meal.

Next to the Royal Park Hotel AICOK, there is a stylish bakery. I purchased a country bread made with whole wheat, rye, and filled with cream cheese and blueberries. It was a hard type of bread and cost 340 yen (tax included). It was the last piece available. I enjoyed it with some tea back at the Royal Park Hotel. Thank you for the meal.

When visiting Double Bebelelo, it's a must to also stop by Panduces, just a stone's throw away. Despite intending to only get some bread due to the scorching heat outside, the visual appeal of the purple cabbage bread caught my eye and I ended up putting it on my tray. The bold combination of cabbage, prosciutto, and Emmental cheese on the galette was something I had never seen before, but with Panduces' vegetable bread, it had to be delicious. Taking a bite, the crunchy texture of the cabbage and the chewy, hearty bread from Panduces combined to create an indescribable deliciousness. The prosciutto laid between the bread and cabbage, as well as the salty and rich flavor of the melted cheese on top of the cabbage, also played their part well. This bread seems like a great accompaniment for wine for those who enjoy alcohol. The Orange Peel Mini Bread was moist, fluffy, and chewy, with a nice scent of orange and a gentle sweetness. It was a delicious treat for citrus lovers, offering a taste that never gets old.

I visited a bakery called "Pandouce" on a weekday morning in July 2023 around 8 o'clock. It is located about a 3-4 minute walk from Honmachi Station on the subway. I visited this bakery to buy breakfast near my hotel. The shop was a perfect size with about 3 customers already inside. I had a hard time choosing from the variety of breads on display, but ended up purchasing three items. Croissant ¥300: This croissant is recommended as a specialty of Pandouce. It is crispy with a nice wheat aroma and a light texture. It is definitely a high-quality croissant that you should try at least once. Fromage ¥260: This pastry combines cream cheese and custard cream on a croissant dough. It has a crispy texture with a good balance of sweetness and richness. It is a satisfying sweet bread to have for breakfast. Renkon and smoked chicken tartine ¥480: This tartine features a large piece of lotus root that you can enjoy fully. The smoked chicken complements the delicious lotus root well. The subtle presence of cheese adds a nice touch to this tasty savory bread. Pandouce is a highly popular bakery in Osaka. Initially, I thought the prices were a bit high, but after trying the bread, I was completely satisfied. This bakery offers high-quality bread consistently and is a fantastic place. There are must-try breads at Pandouce in Sakaisuji-Honmachi.

I visited the bakery "PAINDUCE" in Honmachi, with a rating of 3.78 on Tabelog. The shop had a wide variety of vegetable sandwiches, and I was impressed by the selection. The prices ranged from 280 to 380 yen per piece, and there were many unique options to choose from. The taste was excellent, with a gentle flavor that allowed the quality ingredients to shine. The aroma of the bread was also very strong. Overall, it was a great experience, and I recommend it especially for women who might enjoy the diverse selection. The shop is located at 4-3-1 Awajimachi, Chuo-ku, Osaka, just a 3-minute walk from Honmachi Station on the Midosuji Line. The opening hours are from 8:00 to 19:00, and they are closed on Sundays. The average budget per person is between 700 to 999 yen. For more information, you can contact them at 06-6205-7720. Please note that the operating hours, prices, and menu items may change.
