In Dojima, I heard there is a sophisticated authentic bakery called PARTENAIRE. This stylish shop offers a variety of unique and elaborate bread, and you can also enjoy eating in the cafe space inside the store. The shop is located a few minutes' walk north from Dojima Station. It is tucked away in a small alley off the main street and has a charming exterior reminiscent of a foreign bakery, with deep green walls and a distinctive facade. The interior is also natural and warm, with a bread sales area in the front and a cozy cafe space in the back with a counter and tables for four. The shop opens at 7 am, and the cafe is also available from that time. They also serve specialty coffee, but you can enjoy eating in with just bread (without ordering a drink), which is a nice service. The beautifully displayed bread has an elegant visual appeal. From popular items like curry bread, red bean butter, melon bread, and cream bread to unique savory bread like black bean and black sugar escargot, macadamia croissant, fish-shaped "KATSUO," corn butter roll, potato mentaiko, maple bacon, and more. Everything looks delicious! On my first visit, I purchased six savory bread items. They were so delicious that I returned the following month to buy more. Here are some of the items I tried:
- Black Truffle Salt Butter Bread (220 yen): A luxurious salt butter bread made with black truffle salt and black truffle oil. The combination of butter and the alluring flavor of black truffle is irresistible. The texture and aroma are captivating, making it a must-try for truffle lovers.
- Wiener Croissant (300 yen): A croissant filled with Okinawan sausage. The delicate layers of the croissant are crispy on the outside and moist on the inside, with a hint of sweetness. The Okinawan sausage adds a bold and flavorful touch.
- Condensed Milk Butter Sandwich (210 yen): A refined sandwich with condensed milk butter cream and walnuts. The soft and fluffy Viennese dough paired with the creamy condensed milk butter cream and crunchy walnuts is a delightful combination.
- Child KATSUO (140 yen): A mini version of the famous "KATSUO" bread, shaped like a fish. The baguette dough is crispy on the outside and chewy on the inside, with a savory flavor of bonito flakes, anchovies, white sesame, and mozzarella cheese.
- Potato Cheese (260 yen): A bread filled with mashed potatoes and cheese, wrapped in a chewy dough with a hint of sansho pepper. The cheesy filling and soft dough create a delicious combination, with the added kick of sansho pepper.
Overall, the bread at PARTENAIRE is not only visually appealing but also incredibly tasty, with a wide range of flavors to explore. I highly recommend trying their unique and flavorful bread selection.
