In 2023, well, as long as you say "it seems like," it's okay even if it's not true, right? (laughs) Is it true?! (о´∀`о) So, this is "Motomachi Bonpan." On a day off after a night shift, in the afternoon while taking Taro for a neighborhood cycling trip, I received an order from my wife to buy some bread. So, I visited the bakery. By the way... the view from Yahatazaka in front of Hakodate Nishi High School is truly beautiful♫ I posted a picture with Taro. I envy the Hakodate Nishi High School students who can study in such an environment. If I could go back to those days, I would definitely want to enroll in Hakodate Nishi High School... Well, actually, I want to enroll in Iwai Joshi High School, but (laughs). The inside of the bakery is spacious enough to accommodate about 2-3 customers. The staff talked to Taro, who was wearing a helmet, and he tends to agree with anything people say, responding with "yeah, yeah" to everything (laughs). The bread costs 324 yen (tax included). I toasted it and put cheese on top to eat. It was a simple and delicious bread. The end.

Goma Shio Pan and Gojoken Curry Pan are both delicious. The Goma Shio Pan has a crispy texture with a strong saltiness, while the Gojoken Curry Pan has a mild curry flavor that is easy to eat. Overall, they are both enjoyable and easy to appreciate.

I used to visit this bakery in Kameda Port about once a month a long time ago. It's a bit hard to get to now because there is no parking, but I still go occasionally because I love their custard and garlic rusks. This time, unfortunately, they were out of custard, so I bought a Cheese Dutch (160 yen) and a Dinner Roll with vegetables (160 yen). The Cheese Dutch is delicious when warmed up, with the cheese inside melting and irresistible to cheese lovers. The Dinner Roll has a nice texture from the onions, and despite being called vegetables, it also has ham inside, delivering consistent deliciousness. They are on the smaller side but reasonably priced, and all of them are above average in taste. Although located in a tourist area, I think this bakery has a strong local vibe.

Visited before 17:00 on a weekday (Monday). No customers before me, only one arrived after. Despite nearing closing time, the bakery had a good variety of products to choose from. Each item was small but reasonably priced. It's great to see a bakery that maintains a decent selection within their operating hours to welcome customers. I was disappointed when I visited a nearby bakery before this one, which was still open but already sold out and closed. Payment is cash only.

I visited for the first time. It's BONPAIN located in Motomachi, Hakodate. It's a small shop, giving off a local bakery vibe. I bought a Sakura red bean bun, chocolate-filled croissant amandine, curry bread, and buttercream-filled bread. They were all delicious, but I especially liked the croissant amandine. Thank you for the meal.

Visit date: Saturday, March 12, 2022, around 9:30 am. A bakery located along the tram street towards the Bay Area after getting off at Juji Street Station. I stopped by because every 12th of the month is "Bread Day" and you can buy bread at a discount. The origin dates back to April 12, 1842, when Tarozaemon Egawa made the first bread in Japan, making April 12th the "Bread Memorial Day". Oh, that's interesting ('∇') By the way, when the 12th falls on a Sunday, which is a regular holiday, it is held the day before, so rest assured. They open at 7 am, and the interior of the store is so small that it can't accommodate more than 5 customers. Despite the limited space, a variety of bread is packed tightly on display. Some examples include Yakisoba Dog, Castella, Sandwich, Omelette, Old-fashioned Miso Bread, Chikuwa Roll, Croissant, Hamburger, Piroshki, and Goto-ken Curry Bread, to name a few. The prices range from ¥100 to ¥200 per piece, which is quite reasonable. They also deliver bread to a nearby high school's shop. It's a nice little touch that they offer one piece of bread crust per person. I chose the following three items for a snack during my stroll: - Strawberry Omelette ¥270 - Aged Pan ¥129 - Goto-ken Curry Bread ¥194 The total came to ¥477 after a 20% discount from the regular prices. - Goto-ken Curry Bread: This bread uses the famous Goto-ken curry, giving it a luxurious taste. You can feel a hint of spiciness, but it's a delicious mild curry. The crispy cheese on the bottom of the bread adds a nice touch, with a fragrant toasted curry flavor that was delicious. They have limited quantities daily, so be sure to get yours early! Overall, the location is great, and the prices are affordable, making it easy to drop by anytime. They offer a variety of original savory bread, as well as sweets like cream puffs and éclairs. Payment via PayPay is not accepted. Check out their Instagram @moritapan7 for videos as well.

I came across a bakery while strolling around Hakodate Red Brick Warehouse. They had a sign advertising curry bread made with the curry from the long-established Western-style restaurant Goto-ken across the slope on the opposite side of the intersection. I went in and bought the curry bread and also a unique item called bamboo ring roll. Each cost 180 yen and 160 yen plus tax, which is very reasonable. The bamboo ring roll actually contains bamboo rings, along with sea chicken and mayonnaise, and it's quite delicious. I was initially skeptical about bamboo rings in bread, but it surprisingly goes well together. The curry bread is not the typical deep-fried kind, but a baked bread. It was also delicious, living up to its reputation as a popular item.

My wife said, "I want to eat some delicious bread," so we went to Motomachi. They used to have interesting collaborations with Goto-ken, like curry bread. The variety of bread and the reasonable prices are good. Today, we bought Danish bread, bacon French bread, and salted bread to take home. My wife paid, put the change in her wallet, and while she was doing that, the staff turned away to start working. I thought it was a bit rude, and sure enough... As soon as we left the store, my wife said, "Even if the bread is delicious here, I won't come back next time." It was really off-putting. Well, the bacon French bread was nice and crispy, but nothing else stood out... The salted bread was just ordinary... The Danish bread had a nice sweetness, but we won't be coming back next time.

I came all the way to Hakodate❣️ On this day, there was a stage performance by a popular theater troupe from Hokkaido in Hokuto City. Since the show started in the evening, after watching the play, the restaurants were already closed (>_<), so I decided to get some bread for a light meal at my accommodation. The shop was a small bakery just a 2-minute walk from the streetcar crossroads station. <Takeout> Goto-ken Curry Bread ¥180- Chikuwa Roll ¥150- Soft-boiled Egg Curry Donut ¥170- Surprisingly, the most delicious one was the Chikuwa Roll. It was so delicious that I forgot to take a close-up photo(T ^ T). It was a roll filled with plenty of tuna wrapped in bread dough, with cheese on top, and baked. The flavor of the tuna, the sweetness of the chikuwa and bread dough, and the saltiness of the cheese created a wonderful harmony♫ This is not to be underestimated. The recommended Goto-ken Curry Bread from the shop was not as curry-flavored as I expected, but I haven't tried the authentic Goto-ken curry yet, so I would like to visit there someday (^｡^) The Soft-boiled Egg Curry Donut had a runny egg inside and was delicious❣️ It was a fun light meal. Thank you for the meal(^ ^)

Former Town Bon・Pan❁Sweet Potato France ¥160 + tax Discovered on the way to the Red Brick Warehouse! Rich variety piqued my interest ✨ The more you chew, the more the buttery flavor seeps in, with a sweet potato filling inside. Purchased the new product! Thank you for a luxurious morning.

A bakery located near tourist attractions that opens at 7 am! They offer a wide variety of delicious bread, including savory and dessert options. It has become my go-to place for breakfast! I'm curious about their kombu bean paste bread and piroshki too! Check out more details here ☟ Motomachi Bon Pan in Suehirocho opens at 7 am and offers a variety of delicious bread!

Blog ⇒ 【Riding on the Flowing Clouds♪】The next day, I planned to visit Onuma Park... Well, we should talk about this day first! Alright, I'll do that. This day, we spent the whole day sightseeing around. After having breakfast at the hotel, we visited Hakodate Morning Market in the morning. Then, we strolled around the station area and took a streetcar to head to Yunokawa Onsen. From there, we walked to the Tachimachi Cape. The uphill walk through the cemetery on the way there is a bit tough, taking about 20 minutes. But walking on the quiet road while overlooking the sea makes it bearable. The view from Tachimachi Cape is majestic and very refreshing. You could forget about time and feel like staying there forever... with conditions, though, because on that day, there was a terribly strong wind. Moreover, the temperature was low, making it impossible to stay still for more than 10 minutes. So, we had to seek warmth in the park's restroom. It was so cold that we couldn't stand it! So, we quickly left the place. On the way, we visited Sumiyoshi Shrine and then headed to Yunokawa Onsen! We warmed up there and enjoyed the night view of Hakodate. Of course, it was colder on Mount Hakodate than at Tachimachi Cape because the sun wasn't shining there. But the night view was indeed beautiful! I'm from Kobe, so I have a special fondness for night views! Both Hakodate and Kobe are known as two of Japan's top three night views, along with Nagasaki. "Hakodate ⇒ 1 million dollars" "Kobe ⇒ 10 million dollars"... Kobe sure likes to show off! Anyway, it was so cold on Mount Hakodate that we hurriedly left. On our way back to the hotel, we stopped by "Pan Kobo Motomachi Bon Pan"! The reason was to buy bread for the next day's visit to Onuma Park. We needed it for the early morning train ride. If we had breakfast at the hotel, we wouldn't make it to the train in time. So, we had to cancel the hotel breakfast... The room rate doesn't change even if you cancel, but you have to inform them, or else the "wasteful ghost" will appear! That's why we bought three types of bread for the next day's breakfast: - Butter Roll Agapan: 80 yen - Gotoken Curry Bread: 190 yen - Petit Sandwich: 200 yen They were all unique and delicious, but I recommend the Petit Sandwich. Also, the Gotoken Curry Bread, made with the famous curry from Gotoken in Hakodate, was worth a try. Surprisingly, the Butter Roll Agapan was also quite impressive. It's not something you see often, and the price is reasonable, so be sure to try it!

Located near Hakodate's crossroads and the Bay Area, just a few minutes from the hotel. I stumbled upon this place and decided to go first thing in the morning. I tried their sesame seed bread sandwich with ham, lettuce, and tomato, as well as a strawberry custard Danish. The sandwich had a light flavor with thick slices of tomato that paired well with the sesame seed bread. The Danish had plenty of custard and two large strawberry pieces. The strawberries were delicious. The overall taste was comforting and satisfying. (Side note: When I saw the name of the shop, an old department store's lost child announcement "Ping pong pan pong" popped into my head. But that's just between us.)

I bought some popular pudding and headed to Sapporo. On the way, I stopped to get some snacks at this bakery for when I get hungry (laughs). The bakery had a variety of bread, each with slightly different sizes. I bought a curry bun, a butter bun, and a croissant to have a snack time at the Michi-no-Eki in Rankoshi-cho, Niseko area. The curry bun was just average, and when I tried to show the inside by tearing it apart, it got messy (laughs). The butter bun had normal butter inside, and the outside was slightly sweet. The croissant had different sizes, and although I ate it the next day so it wasn't as crispy, it seemed a bit overcooked. Overall, it was just an ordinary bakery. If I get a chance, I might try their bread next time. Thank you for the meal~

There is a small bakery located diagonally across from the Coop at the intersection. It seems like there is no parking lot. When I visited in the afternoon, they had already sold out of the Goto-ken curry bread. I purchased a Tandoori chicken sandwich and a peach pastry with cream inside for a total of 410 yen. They were delicious, but a bit small and felt a little expensive.

I stayed at "Hakoba Hakodate" and went to buy breakfast about 3 minutes away. The shop opened at 7 am, and when I arrived shortly after, most of the bread was already baked, filling the store with a wonderful smell. The "Bean Bread" with sweet beans in a coppe pan had a simple atmosphere, the buttery scent of the "Croissant" was crispy and delicious, and the walnut and cheese bread was freshly baked with a crunchy texture. Overall, I enjoyed a well-prepared and delicious breakfast on the hotel rooftop terrace, feeling the warmth of the sun. Buying bread here and enjoying breakfast while overlooking the harbor views at Motomachi Park or the warehouse district is a truly enjoyable experience that captures the essence of Hakodate. Highly recommended.

While walking down the street, I saw a sign on the door of a shop advertising the curry bread from Goto-ken nearby. I decided to buy just one and eat it outside the shop. This curry bread is not fried but made with regular soft bread, which makes it delicious. The amount of curry filling is a bit small for the size of the bread, but it is rich and tasty. Overall, it's really good.

Hakodate, Jujigai tram stop. This tram stop is often used because it is close to places like Kanemori Red Brick Warehouses and Gotoken. There are also many historical buildings, tourist attractions, and shops nearby. Just a 2-minute walk from Jujigai tram stop, there is a bakery loved by locals. It's called Pan Kobo Motomachi Bon Pan! It was close to closing time, so the selection was limited, but let's stop by for a bit. Wow! They still had their famous Gotoken curry bread!! It's the curry bread made with Gotoken's curry!! I'm curious about this too... Tsubasa's favorite, Piroshki!! (laughs) I have to buy this too. On the left is the Gotoken curry bread, and on the right is the Piroshki. The Gotoken curry bread has a nice balance of sweetness and spiciness! The curry itself is delicious, so it's a sure thing! And this is the Piroshki. It looks messy because I tore it with my hands... (^^;) This one has a nostalgic feel to it! It's packed with minced meat and vegetables. Juicy and delicious! Even though I had already eaten dinner and had drinks, I ended up eating it as a midnight snack at the hotel (laughs) I thoroughly enjoyed the local flavors of Hakodate.

*Bonpan Bakery Motomachi Bonpan/Hakodate* Every time I go to Hakodate, I've been curious about this bakery. Finally got the Bacon Epi. #bonpan #MotomachiBonpan #Hokkaido #Hakodate #HakodateGourmet #HakodateBread
