"First Visit in April 2022" This is a so-called employment support facility as a store. There are many of these types of stores in Chitose City, and as a local resident, I would like to support them as a consumer. However, I think there are also people who are not good at such shops, so it would be wise for those who are aware of this to not unnecessarily approach. As mentioned in other reviews, this shop is a specialty store for coppe bread. They probably sell coppe bread that is homemade, with various fillings. Perhaps due to the influence of the COVID-19 pandemic, the lineup seems to be a bit restrained compared to the menu photos posted earlier. The menu is divided into sweet bread "oyatsu coppe" and savory bread "okazu coppe," and this time I purchased "Hokkaido red bean margarine" and "vegetable egg." "Hokkaido red bean margarine" well, it can't be bad, right? Just hearing it sounds delicious, and it actually is! The red bean paste is coarse, and it has more volume than I expected, but as long as you don't worry about excessive calorie intake, you could eat it every day. "Vegetable egg" is also a good choice! Cucumber, tomato, shredded cabbage, and boiled egg are sandwiched, and it seems to have a good nutritional balance. The prices vary greatly depending on the ingredients, ranging from the low hundreds to nearly four hundred yen. The only downside is the poor location. It is not a place where people who do not know about it would happen to pass by, so there would be no opportunity for anyone other than those who visit after hearing about it through word of mouth or the internet. To be honest, I worry that it would be better if the location were more convenient, even though it's someone else's problem. I would like to make an opportunity to try other ingredients as well." ============================== ◇ 465 yen (Hokkaido red bean margarine 190 yen / vegetable egg 270 yen / plastic bag 5 yen) ------------------------------ ◆ Food/Taste 4.0 / Service 3.5 / Atmosphere 3.0 / Value for Money 3.5"

On a certain weekday, I stumbled upon a bookmarked bakery in Chitose City, Kiyonagare 2. The shop is located in a quiet environment with a parking space for about 3 cars in front of the store. The compact shop has a workshop attached and specializes in takeout only. Inside, there is a refrigerated case selling items like honey. On this day, I had a hard time choosing between their Coppe pan and fried bread, but I gave in to my cravings and decided to try the "Zangi Nanban (390 yen)", which the staff mentioned was their most popular side dish bread. The bread was quite heavy and when I unwrapped it, I found a Coppe pan sliced almost fully open, with three pieces of Zangi tucked inside. Taking a big bite, I enjoyed the crispy Zangi, which had a substantial texture and was accompanied by a sweet and sour sauce, cabbage, and the slightly elastic Coppe pan dough. It was delicious. I also tried the "Shirokuma (280 yen)", which was inspired by the famous ice cream. This bread was also heavy, and with each bite, I could taste pineapple, mandarin orange, yellow peach, and black beans, giving it a true Shirokuma flavor. The bread, along with plenty of whipped cream, was a delightful treat. I thought that next time, I would like to try their fried bread. Thank you for the meal.

After having lunch, I decided to head to "Rhythm and Bakery". They are usually open on weekdays and the 2nd and 4th Saturdays, as well as holidays. Since I have a weekday off now, I wanted to visit before my schedule gets busy. The menu offers a variety of Coppe bread. This time, I chose the "Sugar Coppe (¥130)" from the sweet bread selection and the "Fried Noodle Coppe with Soft-Boiled Egg (¥370)" from the savory bread selection. I also decided to buy the "Caramel Rusk (¥190)" from other baked goods. I plan to have half of the Coppe bread for breakfast the next morning! For the Sugar Coppe, I baked it for less than a minute to enjoy the crispy texture unique to fried bread, without melting the sugar too much. As for the Fried Noodle Coppe, I warmed it up in the microwave to avoid making the bread too soggy. The Sugar Coppe turned out delicious with a crispy outer layer and a soft inside, enhanced by the melted sugar and a hint of sweetness. The Fried Noodle Coppe lacked the runny egg yolk due to being refrigerated, but the well-balanced Worcestershire sauce flavor added a nice touch. The chewy noodles would have been even better if eaten fresh. The mini-sized Caramel Rusk was perfect for a snack, with its sweet taste soothing and the crispy texture and fragrant aroma being delightful. Although splitting the Coppe bread in half for breakfast might be too heavy, I enjoyed trying different varieties and would like to visit again to explore more. Thank you for the meal.

[Takeout available] In 2018, a bread shop specializing in coppe pan, the only one in Chitose City, was opened by the social welfare corporation Chitose Izumi Gakuen, a vocational support facility. The shop is located in a relatively new residential area in Chitose City, near the Block Koko-ji next to Trial Chitose Seiryu Store. They have a prepayment system and a stamp card where you get one stamp for every 300 yen spent. You can exchange the stamps for various items like fried bread, bread loaf, or a bottle of rich milk. During my visit around noon on September 1, 2021, I ordered the anko margarine, whipped cream, and haskap coppe pan. The shop is small but sufficient as the staff quickly prepares your order. The bread had a light color and the texture was not my preference, but the anko and margarine combination was generous and satisfying. The haskap utilized the good quality of the ingredients, balancing the acidity with whipped cream. Overall, the flavors were strong, but if you prefer a different bread texture, it may not be the best option.

On the way to Aroll, I stopped by this place. There were two customers ahead of me, and the shop is small so we waited outside. I ordered a salt milk and a custard with plenty of cream, paid in advance. They are cooking handmade dishes with a vinyl sheet for COVID-19 prevention. It was ready in about 5 minutes. The coppe pan was soft and delicious. The coppe pan I had in the 1970s school lunches was dry! It was tasty though! Salt milk for 190 yen, plenty of custard for 190 yen. Thank you for the meal!

20 years ago, I had a regular barber shop that I used to visit. Now, I don't have much hair left to worry about my hairstyle, so I started going to budget salons. With the current COVID situation, I didn't want to visit crowded barber shops, so I decided to get my hair cut at the barber shop at the East Chitose Garrison while taking a paid vacation day. When I arrived, I was worried because there were no cars in the parking lot, but I saw lights inside and no closure notice, so I went in. The counter and cooking area were covered with plastic sheets, showing that they were taking COVID precautions. It must be tough for the staff at all these shops. Customers can choose which shop to visit, but shops can't choose their customers. It's annoying when people visit without wearing masks. I visited after a year and a half and found that they now offer Chitose Burgers. The definition of a Chitose Burger is simple - it just needs to use eggs from Chitose, so there are various types depending on the shop. Here, they had "Homemade Egg Salad" and "Curry Egg" burgers, so I bought two of each. Back home, I made coffee and tried the Homemade Egg Salad first. It was delicious, with the perfect amount of salt in the egg salad. My wife loved it too. Sometimes I buy egg salad or potato salad from the supermarket, but the egg salad here was exceptional. The combination of the delicious egg salad and the soft bun was amazing, something you can't get from convenience store sandwiches. The Curry Egg burger was also great, with the curry not overpowering the egg's flavor. Both my wife and I enjoyed it. This shop is closed on weekends, so I can't visit often, but I'll have my wife buy it for me when I crave it. Thank you for the meal.

Now it seems to have calmed down. I bought 5 items: salmon fry, Hokkaido croquette, milk chocolate, custard, and strawberry margarine. The croquette is delicious!! After eating two, I'm already full. I'm curious about the curry with egg and want to try other items too. I also made a stamp card, so I have to go back again.

When it comes to coppe pan, it reminds me of the school lunches I had in elementary and junior high school. I used to dislike the dry texture and the way it sucked up all the moisture in my mouth, so I couldn't eat it all. However, after trying the "Milt Coppe" at Biryudeni, I fell in love with coppe pan. I found out about this place from kimumiyu's post, but since it's only open for lunch on weekdays, I couldn't visit. However, I learned that they are open on holidays except for weekends, so I visited on a holiday substitute day. I parked my car in the parking lot next to the store, and when I entered, I found the store to be small. Although the building itself is large, the sales space is small, similar to a takeout bento shop counter. They don't just sell coppe pan as is, but add a little something extra to it. The menu consists of snack (sweet bread) and side dish (savory bread) categories, with recommended items clearly indicated. I followed their recommendations and chose the fried bread (sugar), yakisoba bread, and menchi katsu bread. I used to love the fried bread that was served a few times a month in school lunches, so I was really looking forward to it. There are no pre-made breads, and the young staff cooks them on the spot. The coppe pan itself is surprisingly large, and when filled with yakisoba or menchi katsu, you can see that it's quite substantial. I took the finished bread home, and first bit into the yakisoba bread. "Wow, delicious!" The yakisoba sauce isn't too strong, and the combination of bread, noodles, and fried egg is really tasty. Moreover, it's about three times the size of the yakisoba bread sold at convenience stores, so it's quite satisfying, and a small eater like a woman could be full with just one. Next, I tried the menchi katsu bread, and the menchi katsu goes well with the bread. This menchi katsu bread was also delicious, but after eating two, I felt so full that it was almost as if I had eaten a large serving of ramen. My wife, who likes to imitate, ordered the same items as me, but after eating the yakisoba bread and trying the menchi katsu bread, she felt full and stopped eating halfway through. "It's such a huge portion, right?" she said, rubbing her stomach, and wrapped up the remaining bread. The next day, I had the fried bread, which had a light texture and was delicious. However, when it comes to fried bread, I prefer the rough ones from my school days. Every time I eat fried bread, memories of my childhood come flooding back. Thank you for the meal.

I found a new bakery on Tabelog. There is a bakery called Puchipan that is going to be renovated. The prices listed are excluding tax: - Salmon fry 360 yen - Hokkaido red bean margarine 190 yen - Plenty of custard 200 yen - Salt milk cream 200 yen - Fried Coppe sugar 140 yen This bakery is operated by a non-profit organization that supports people with disabilities. Before the renovation, it was a regular bakery that also sold sweets, but now it has become a Coppe bread specialty store. There are various options to choose from. When you place an order at the reception, they write it on a label with a marker. You can buy up to 5 items per transaction. For example, if two people go and one person buys 6 items and the other person buys 4 items, the total will be calculated based on 5 items. They make the bread by hand right in front of you after you order. For dinner, I had the salmon fry from the main dish Coppe bread, and for lunch, I had various Coppe breads for snacks. I don't eat Coppe bread often, but this one was fluffy and filling. The salmon fry was lightly seasoned and made me want to add tartar sauce and ketchup. The cream and custard were also pleasantly not too sweet. I didn't eat all 5 items at once. Thank you for the meal.
