I asked a friend for recommendations and was shocked by the amazing prices! They have a wide variety of options and the flavors are delicious. The cashier was very friendly and welcoming. When I didn't have exact change, I asked if I could pay with a larger bill and he happily agreed with a smile. It's a great shop that stays open late, so you can go anytime. However, it's always crowded when I go. Definitely worth a visit!

I also stopped by at Pinponpan, a nostalgic old-fashioned bakery. The place was packed with various types of bread. I felt like I had traveled back in time. The prices were reasonable, and most importantly, the bread was delicious. It felt like stepping into a bakery with a lot of character.

This bakery has the best cost performance. It's cheap but delicious... My sister buys bread here every time she comes to Osaka. It had been 4-5 years since my sister last visited, and even though prices have gone up, the bread prices here are still the same!! They seem to have adjusted the ingredients a bit, but it's hard to find a place where you can get bread of this quality at this price! I don't really eat sweet bread, so I always go for the French bread types here, and they are delicious~ I bought a few of the bacon and mentaiko ones to take home, and they had a good volume and tasted just as delicious as before. Thank you for the meal! I forgot to take a picture of the bread ===========

Local bakery. I live in the Nishi Ward, so I often hang around the Kujo area. I don't really have a chance to go to Chiyosaki, but on this day, I had some business at Nine Mall and happened to pass by. I used to buy from this bakery when I passed by in the past, but on this day, after a few years, I decided to go in. I realized that the prices were really cheap!! Compared to the serious bakeries in the Horie area, it's not that special, but it's consistently delicious. Considering their long opening hours and cost performance, they are really working hard...

After eating the XO bowl, I went into the bakery right next door. I was surprised by the variety of items in such a small shop, and the prices were quite cheap. There were many items priced at 100 yen or less. I ended up buying four different types of bread, with half of them being unusual choices like plain bread and salt bread, rather than sweet or savory pastries. They even had a bread with purple sweet potato filling. If I hadn't been so full, I might have bought even more. This bakery opens at 5 o'clock and closes at 9 o'clock in the evening. I wonder how many hours they are closed for cleaning and preparing these types of bread. It's an amazing bakery, isn't it?

This year, there were more supermarkets and food stores closed from New Year's Day to January 3rd. I went shopping at the Ion store in Kyocera Dome, but the baguettes were sold out. I decided to try my luck at the Pin Pon Pan Chiyosaki store, and luckily they were open. Since it was late in the evening, I was able to purchase discounted bread. The famous croissants were sold out, but they still had assorted sale items at great prices.

"Is it really okay at this price...?" That was the thought that couldn't help but come to mind when I saw the extremely discounted bread being sold at this store, almost mistaken for a closing time sale. I've heard that bread prices are generally set at around 3-4 times the cost, taking into account waste and other factors. However, this store in Osaka's Nishi Ward efficiently produces just the amount that will sell on that day, minimizing waste and keeping the cost price at about half. For example, while a croissant at a stylish bakery might cost over ¥200, the ones here were just as big but priced at an amazing ¥75 each. In addition to croissants, they also had curry bread and melon bread, typical bread items, all priced at less than ¥100, like the cheap mass-produced bread you see at supermarkets. Furthermore, Danish pastries topped with fresh fruit (in this case, muscat grapes) were also priced below ¥200, which is quite affordable compared to other bakeries. Personally, I thought it was nice that they also sold small amounts of bread perfect for 1-2 people. To be honest, some of the bread had edges torn off or slightly irregular shapes, possibly due to sticking together before baking or slight dents in the dough. However, despite the low price, I didn't think the taste was bad at all. Especially the croissant, which I also bought this time, was the most popular at the store, with a rich taste from plenty of butter, a crispy exterior, and a chewy interior. While it may not be worth a visit for top-class bread artisans, chefs, or discerning palates, for an ordinary person like me, it's a store I'd want to visit every day if it were nearby. I think it's perfect for small gifts or treats for family or colleagues, so if you have the chance to visit Osaka's Nishi Ward, be sure to stop by."

I came to this shop where bread is cheap. It's true that a large croissant is only 75 yen! I bought a croissant for 75 yen, 3 pieces of fruit compote for 140 yen, and a melon bread (forgot the price) for breakfast the next day. The croissant was not crispy but rather soft. I made a sandwich with tuna, but it was difficult to cut because it was soft. It's nice to be able to buy things at a reasonable price, but I can't really say that the croissant was delicious. Croissants may be expensive because they use ingredients like butter.

After visiting the Rodda Group, I stopped by the popular and affordable "Pinponpan" in Kujo. Normally, a croissant costs around 150 yen, but here it's only 75 yen. I bought four items for a total of 315 yen, which would only get me one item at a department store. I got two croissants for 75 yen each, a ham and cheese bread for 65 yen, and a black curry bread for 120 yen. When I got home, I made a croissant sandwich. The staff may not be the friendliest, but the food was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

In the area of Nishi Ward, Osaka City, there is a place called Kujo which has a nostalgic atmosphere. There is an old bakery that has been around for a long time. I bought two types of bread, croissant and curry bread, which are quite satisfying. The croissant is very large and has a good amount of filling. It has a slightly salty taste which is not too sweet, making it satisfying even for adults. The curry bread is filled with a rich curry sauce and is delicious. Thank you for the meal~.

I stopped by a curry restaurant on my way back. Had lunch at a nearby curry restaurant and did some shopping. It's super cheap!! You can buy one for about 100 yen! The crispy croissant is a must-buy!! I bought a freshly baked croissant and headed home!! It's a croissant that makes you want to eat it again! I'll buy another croissant next time too!

Today I bought breakfast at Coco. I had been curious about this Coco that I pass by on my jogging route back, but usually when I peek inside, it's crowded and I give up. Do you remember the sound of "pin-pon-pan♪"? Did you do exercises in front of the TV during your childhood? This time, even though there were only 4 people inside, there was no space to choose slowly, and when I was thinking about it, suddenly another customer came in, so I took it as a chance and visited for the first time. I chose a curry bun for 130 yen, a cheese coupe for 110 yen, and two croissants for 72 yen each. My favorite was the curry bun. It had a lot of curry packed inside for the price. The cheese coupe could have had a bit more cheese, and the croissant could have had more syrup on the surface. But considering the price, it's understandable. They are delicious and affordable breads that local people can easily buy. Thank you for the meal.

I went to a Sri Lankan curry restaurant nearby, but I was drawn to the catchy name of a place called Pin Pon Pan, so I decided to check it out for dinner. The restaurant had a popular shop sticker from Tabelog, so I had high expectations for the taste. When I entered the shop, I was surprised to see that the bread was quite large yet very reasonably priced. I asked the staff for recommendations and ended up buying a croissant and a bacon epi. The bacon epi was about twice the size of what you would find at other shops, but it was only 160 yen! And the croissant was even cheaper at 72 yen, almost like a cheap snack. Despite the low prices, the bread was delicious. The bacon epi, which actually had sausage inside with crispy cheese and onions mixed in, was very tasty. Even the empty parts of the epi after finishing the sausage were enjoyable to eat. The croissant, recommended by the staff, had a soft and chewy texture inside and was very enjoyable to eat. It was sweet and buttery, making it very delicious. In a time where bread prices are increasing, it was a great find to have a bakery like Pin Pon Pan nearby where you can feel full and happy for only 230 yen.

On Sunday morning, we had breakfast at Pin Pon Pan Chiyosaki store in Chiyosaki, Nishi Ward, right across the Kujyo Shinmichi intersection after passing through the shopping street from Kujyo Station. On Saturday night, after having dinner with my family of three in Kujyo, we noticed the lights on at this store past 8 PM and decided to buy some bread. Despite it being an hour before closing time, there were hardly any bread left on the shelves, except for a bag of assorted bread for 200 yen with about 4 pieces. On Sunday morning, my family made coffee and I chose a bread with butter and sweet red bean paste inside. It was too sweet for me, so I only ate half before giving up. Thank you for the meal. (An hour later, I went for a 15km run!) Before dawn, dreams that come true, I don't believe in them, but if there's frost tomorrow, it's the frozen tears of the moon... ♫ (Tabidatsu Aki / 1974)

Located just a short walk from the No. 6 exit of the Osaka Metro Chuo Line Kujo Station, this bakery opened in 2004. Despite its slightly dated appearance, it is easy to spot with its white window frames and green awnings. The name may sound like a joke, but the selection of bread inside is quite serious. With a wide variety of options at reasonable prices, I purchased a croissant and an egg sandwich. The croissant was large, slightly moist, and had a rich flavor. The fluffy texture of the sandwich bread also had a nostalgic feel to it.

I used to always pass by this small bakery, but decided to give it a try and it became my go-to place. The main highlight here is definitely the croissants. They are soft inside, crispy outside, with a rich buttery flavor that creates a perfect harmony of textures and taste. The other pastry items using croissant dough are also delicious. And the surprising part is that despite being so delicious, the croissants are only 75 yen... I wonder what the cost price is for this... haha. The curry bread is also 75 yen, and the other pastry items start from 120 yen, which is quite a bargain. I ended up buying a lot of items on a whim. Seems like that's their strategy here! The Danish pastries are also crispy, sweet, and delicious looking.

On January 16, 2019 (Wednesday), I had the dish Frankfurt (mayo-mentaiko flavor) for ¥140. It was rated 3.58. On November 7, 2018 (Wednesday), I had the 4-color bread for ¥160, rated 3.50. I also had a croissant for ¥70, rated 3.58. Lastly, I had the Frankfurt (mayo-mentaiko flavor) again for ¥140, rated 3.58.

The croissant, sweet cream punch, and cheese bread shop is small but has a wide variety of bread to choose from. It was delicious. (I had a drink from McDonald's).

The food was rated 3.29 out of 5.
