[Take-out] Located in the Miyanomori area, where ultra-luxurious residences that won the top 100 bakery awards in the Eatlog world in 2017 and 2018 are lined up, this popular bakery is located at the foot of Mt. Okurayama, or for Mogutan, at the foot of Mt. Sankaku. It may be difficult to find without a navigation system. If you go from the side of Miyanosawa on Hokkaido Road 89, drive along the base of Moiwa Mountain and climb the road where the Sapporo Sculpture Museum is located! Keep climbing, and when you see a triangular green space, you'll see the building on your right soon. 2023/6/16, morning, revisited. As expected, the number of squirrels is decreasing year by year due to the increasing number of people climbing Mt. Maruyama. Last year, I didn't see any squirrels unless I went to Maruyama twice. Today is Friday, so I came to this area. I'm not sure if it's still limited to Fridays, but they used to sell the pastries only on Fridays. The wind direction was good today, maybe that's why? I arrived at the intersection in front of the Franciscan Church in Miyanomori in just 55 minutes from Shin-Sapporo. It's amazing how fast you can get there on a mama-chari bike. Well, I'll have to walk and push my bike up the slope from the middle. Laimi-tan, with a belt instead of a chain, can't ride in the rain, accelerate quickly, or on steep uphill slopes. There was one person ahead of me and one person behind me, both elegant ladies. Even with the appearance of the animal Mogutan, the service was very polite. I couldn't help but buy something. What I bought: a baguette from Semorinako, a raisin bread, a pack of five croissants. As usual, I forgot the price as soon as I got the receipt. The croissant here is delicious, with a wheat flavor. The croissant here is different from the buttery croissants that are popular now, with a strong wheat flavor. The raisin bread is made with raisins, butter rolls, walnuts, and raisins on a rotating basis. The dense and heavy dough has a wheat flavor, making it easy to eat. The yeast is not too strong, making it easy to eat. It tastes good with margarine. The baguette from Semorinako is a stylish item. It is said to be rich in iron, typical of fruits with high iron content. It has a unique purple sweetness and acidity. Semorinako uses wheat flour harvested in Italy or Greece, which I imagine to be a dough with a chewy elasticity that enhances the flavor when heated, especially with olive oil. It goes well with garlic and herbs, of course. I haven't tried it, but it should be delicious with cheese, tomatoes, and other ingredients. Semorinako writes reviews in hiragana because it's too troublesome to convert to kanji, but it's in katakana. Semorinako uses wheat flour for pasta from there, which I imagine to be a dough with a chewy elasticity that enhances the flavor when heated, especially with olive oil. It goes well with garlic and herbs, of course. I haven't tried it, but it should be delicious with cheese, tomatoes, and other ingredients. Semorinako writes reviews in hiragana because it's too troublesome to convert to kanji, but it's in katakana.

On a weekend morning, I drove to my favorite bakery in Sapporo, "Boulangerie La Fontaine de Lourdes," in search of delicious bread. The bakery is located up a hill near the Okurayama Ski Jump Stadium. When I arrived just before the opening time of 8 o'clock, there were three groups of people waiting in line. I joined the line and waited for the shop to open on time. Once inside, I was greeted by a variety of mouth-watering bread such as hard bread, sweets, baguettes, and sandwich bread. Although I wanted to try them all, I restrained myself and chose two. I couldn't resist and ate them right away in my car! The Cream Lemon Pie for 290 yen had a slightly moist pie crust with a tangy lemon filling that had a refreshing aroma and flavor. The Chausson Pomme for 320 yen, which I love, had a crispy pie crust with a buttery scent. Inside, there was a flavorful apple filling that had a perfect balance of pie crust, acidity, and sweetness. This one was truly delicious! These exquisite breads made for the perfect breakfast. This bakery never disappoints in taste! Thank you for the delicious meal.

During my business trip to Sapporo, I purchased breakfast bread for the next day. The shop is located in a high-end residential area in Miyanomori, Sapporo, which is a bit of a climb. I arrived around 2:00 PM on a weekday and was able to purchase it without waiting. I bought the "Boule Fruite (1/4)" for 550 yen. They cut it to the appropriate thickness for me at the shop. The combination of sweet and sour flavors with the taste of wheat in this bread is fantastic. I had planned to save some for the next day, but ended up eating the rest as a snack.

I ordered delivery last time and didn't buy freshly made food, so I visited the store. Overall, I think it's tastier than large chain stores, but I don't think people in Sapporo need to go out of their way to visit. It's even more so if you're coming from Tokyo as a foodie. The chikuwa bread and bean bread from Seicomart were delicious. Seriously, people in Hokkaido might be fine with Seicomart's bread. Except for a few enthusiasts like me ===========

This was my third visit, and I finally managed to make a purchase. The previous two times I visited around noon, and I believe both times they were sold out. The weather was nice ☀️ so I ate the bread I bought outside. I already forgot the name of the bread, but they were all delicious.

After visiting Hokkaido Shrine, I took the circular bus number 14 to Araiyama. From there, I walked up the slope of Okurayama, which took about 7-8 minutes. Despite the walk, I didn't feel too tired as I enjoyed the view of luxurious mansions and the panoramic scenery of Sapporo city below. The shop nestled in a quiet residential area looked like an ordinary house from the outside, but once inside, it felt like a bakery attached to a rural church in France. A friendly female staff welcomed me and quickly prepared the bread I had reserved. The shop operates only on Thursdays, Fridays, Saturdays, and Sundays, and reservations need to be made by the previous Friday. Bringing your own bag is also necessary. I purchased 5 types of bread this time. They use Hokkaido and French flour, and natural yeast in their baking. The croissant was large with a clean shape, a nostalgic taste with a hint of butter and a refreshing saltiness. The inside was white and had a thin, clean film. The anpan was leaf-shaped with plenty of chunky red bean paste, slightly dry dough but shiny thanks to the egg wash. The fig and walnut bread was surprisingly soft and smooth, with a milky flavor and a satisfying texture. The cream lemon pie had a sweet, crunchy crust and a tangy lemon cream filling. The peasant bread, although ordered as a half loaf, was surprisingly large and hearty, made with whole wheat and rye flour, easy to eat and versatile. I recommend the route of visiting the shrine, Lourdes bakery, and the sculpture museum. It was a delightful experience. Thank you very much.

June 2, 2023. Day 2 in Hokkaido. After having an early breakfast at the hotel, the first place I headed to was "Boulangerie La fontaine de Lourdes" in Miyanomori. I arrived just in time for the 8:30 am opening. The bakery is located in a single house in a high-end residential area, and at first glance, you might not even realize it's a bakery. Inside, there were a variety of delicious-looking bread displayed. I bought about 5 items, including some to take back to Osaka. The items I purchased were: - Pain de Campagne (290 yen) - Cream Raisin Pie (290 yen) - Date Bread (280 yen) - Noah Ciabatta (300 yen) - Stone Mill Dry Fruits (550 yen) I tried the Pain de Campagne and Cream Raisin Pie right after purchasing them. Both were delicious, but I especially liked the cream in the Cream Raisin Pie. The pastry dough was also to my liking. The remaining 3 items I tried after returning to Osaka, and they were all delicious, but personally, I particularly enjoyed the Date Bread. I always buy dates when I travel to the Middle East, as I love them, but I never realized how well they go with bread until now. (I wish I had bought more of the Date Bread). Thank you for the meal!

It is Pan East Hyakumeiten Lafontaine de Lourdes in the forest of Hokkaido Miya. It is a bakery that uses French wheat levain. It is located further up the hill from the Honjo Shin Memorial Sculpture Museum. I am a baguette believer, so I purchased a baguette. I also impulsively bought a croissant and a chocolate apricot pie. The baguette, both the crust and the inside, is a bit firm. It has a strong wheat flavor and is delicious. The croissant is dense and heavy, and the pie is exquisite. I was delighted and entranced. Thank you for the delicious meal. On the way back, I stopped by the sculpture museum and enjoyed a leisurely visit.

The bread was carefully made and had a solid feel to it. I love bread, so when I heard it was a famous bakery, I couldn't resist going. I knew it wasn't my preferred type, but everything looked delicious, so I ended up buying a lot. Pan au Levain was good, not my favorite type but tasty. The croissant was crispy and light, delicious but not my favorite. Pan au Chocolat surprised me with the small amount of chocolate. Is this enough chocolate for adults? Pan 280 had white chocolate and nuts, it was heavy and tasty but... I prefer more butter in the Butter Bread, it wasn't as buttery as I like. The Tarte Pomme had a nice balance between the sour apple and custard, but it wasn't my favorite. My partner liked it though, so that's good. The Camembert had a strong cheese flavor, maybe Gorgonzola? The Flan was like a cheesecake, it was delicious. Overall, it wasn't my preference, but is this quality, size, and price acceptable? It seems like those who like this type of bakery will really love it.

I've been interested in this shop for a while. It's a bit far from my house so I couldn't go, but the warm weather in mid-November made me decide to take a 30-minute walk. It was my first time walking around this area, and there were unbelievably luxurious mansions everywhere. This shop is quietly nestled in the mansion district. I chose the Apple Raisin for 260 yen, Croissant for 230 yen, and Pressan for 230 yen. The Croissant is famous, and the shop uses 100% natural yeast. The Croissant is crispy and the smell of butter is tantalizing. The Apple Raisin is also lightly sweet, making it easy for men to enjoy as well. The outside is crispy, so the raisins are a perfect accent. Thank you for the meal♪

Standing on the sloping hillside of the palace forest is a bakery. This area is a highland with a splendid view. From here to Maruyama, it is a high-end residential area in Sapporo where luxury mansions line up. There are many famous French and sushi restaurants. A stylish bakery would surely be in demand here. It seems to only be open on weekends. I went to buy a croissant on Saturday morning. It blends into the residential area, without any flashy signs. It is a small shop, but there are many elegant ladies. The moment I entered the shop, I was enveloped in the wonderful aroma of bread and had a happy morning. I feel like I have become a little rich. The croissant here is quite large. When you bite into it, it is crispy! It doesn't feel like there is too much butter, so you don't get tired of eating it. This is perfect for a morning treat.

This is a list of selected top restaurants in 2022, and one of the names that has been consistently selected in the past. I haven't visited it much this year, only four times, mainly because it's a bit far from my home and sometimes it's not open. You can check it out on Instagram. Here are some recommended breads that I didn't buy this time: - Semolina bread: A bread made with wheat mainly used for pasta noodles. It pairs well with stews and pasta dishes. - Whole wheat shokupan: A flavorful bread made with locally sourced wheat. I tried it with tsukemen soup once, but it absorbed too much soup and became too salty. - Whole wheat anpan: A delicious anpan with a generous amount of red bean paste. It goes well with curry dishes. - Fromage Emmental (370 yen): A baguette made with French wheat and Emmental cheese, known for its unique flavor. - Orange bread (260 yen): A baguette with candied orange peel from France, which smells appetizing when reheated. - Honey cinnamon bread (250 yen): A bread with a strong cinnamon flavor and a hint of honey sweetness. - Croissant (230 yen): A large croissant with a crispy exterior and a moist interior. It has a balanced buttery taste. If you can get them freshly baked, they are delicious, and they are not too messy to eat. Thank you for reading this long review. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Around 11:30, I had a quarter of a Boule that was still warm and ate it right away. It was chewy and moist, with a firm crust, and delicious. I also tried the whole grain Croissant which had a nice crunchy texture. Both pastries were delicious, with slightly different textures and aromas. They were large in size, making them suitable for sandwiches as the dough is firm. The Ciabatta had a chewy texture and was a perfect size for a meal bread. The Tomato, Olive, and Fresh Basil flavors were very aromatic, with small pieces of basil scattered throughout.

The croissant was surprisingly soft and had a hint of sweetness, more like bread dough than a Danish pastry. The plum Danish was crispy. The butter flavor was subtle and light. Overall, the impression was that the pastries were healthy.

I've always wanted to go, but I never went until today. It was hard to go because of transportation and the store's closed days. Today, I decided to go to Porokuru no matter what! It's located on top of a mountain near Okurayama, and you can see all of Sapporo from the entrance of the store! Only one group can enter at a time, so there were customers waiting outside while I was inside. It's popular! Since I finally went, I bought a lot. I also tried the croissant. The outside was crispy, and the inside was fluffy with a nice elasticity! Delicious! I'm looking forward to trying other items too! Additional note: I couldn't resist and also had an anpan. Haha~ The bread dough is really tasty! It goes well with the sweet bean paste! Delicious! I'm definitely going to gain weight tomorrow~ Haha

I went to Miya no Mori through Hokkaido Jingu in Maruyama Park. Today it was raining. As I climbed the hill and walked for a while, I entered a district lined with large houses. This seems to be a high-end residential area. The shop was located in the back. It is almost at the top of the hill. There was a sign nearby showing the way to Okurayama Ski Jump Stadium. The shop is a building that looks like a personal residence, blending into the surrounding neighborhood without any big signs. It was midday, so the variety of bread was limited, but I was able to buy bread for breakfast. Whole wheat croissant. It was more of a square shape than a crescent. It was a simple and delicious bread that you could feel the whole wheat in. Brioche Bressan. A simple round style with a strong sweetness from the sugar sprinkled on top. The shop seems to be conscious of French-style bread making. I think it's a simple bread that will be loved for a long time.

A bakery located in Miyanomori 4-12, Chuo-ku, Sapporo. The shop has a residential look to its exterior. Visited during lunchtime. Bought a croissant for 230 yen and an anpan for 200 yen. Although they recommended their bread, as a traveler, I opted for pastries. Prices felt a bit high, but the taste was good. The sweetness of the anpan filling was subtle and elegant. I stopped by on my way to the Okurayama Ski Jump Stadium for the first time in over 10 years. The bakery is located in a quiet residential area that might be difficult to find. The steep streets in the neighborhood would be challenging to navigate in snowy and icy conditions. The name of the bakery is quite long and hard to remember. I wonder if they have a shorter nickname?

Boulangerie La Fontaine de Lourdes is a bakery run by the former owner of the Lake Toya Windsor Hotel bakery. It opened in 2006 and has been selected as one of the top 100 bakeries in the East. The shop is located at the foot of Okurayama, right near the ski jump. It's in a residential area, so it can be hard to find if you're not familiar with the area. I pre-ordered and purchased only three types of bread. (Pre-orders are possible) Orange 260 yen A refreshing scent of orange peel. When you bite into it, you'll taste the sweetness from the orange peel, which turns out to be candied. Croissant 230 yen It's huge! It has many layers but a soft texture. When you bite into it, you can taste the aroma of fermented butter and a hint of salt. The latter half has a moist texture, which is quite intriguing. Brioche Poire 320 yen Brioche dough with cream cheese and pear. It's not too sweet, and the almond slices complement the buttery flavor of the brioche dough. All of them were delicious!

Arrived at the shop around 2:00 in the afternoon with no other customers. Located in a residential area on top of a hill. Selected as one of the top 100 bread shops in the EAST. It is located 5km west of Sapporo Clock Tower. I made a reservation by phone in advance as I was planning to visit Hokkaido. The owner, Takamine, graduated from a confectionery school in Hokkaido, worked at a bakery in Lake Toya Windsor Hotel, and opened Lourdes here in 2006. Since I had plans to visit many other bakeries as part of my Hokkaido tour, I only reserved and purchased three types of bread. There were many other breads available, but I resisted the temptation as my schedule was tight. Orange 260 yen Croissant 230 yen Brioche Poire 320 yen. Orange: Orange peel in sugar syrup inside, emitting a nice orange scent when cut. The dough is soft with a lot of moisture and has a crispy surface. The sugar-soaked orange peel adds a nice accent with a hint of bitterness. Delicious! Croissant: Made with fermented butter. It is a large croissant not often seen in Tokyo. It has a very light texture with a moist interior. The flavor of the butter spreads in the mouth. Delicious! Brioche Poire: A refreshing bread with cream cheese and pear on top. The pear slices are thin and have a crisp texture. It is not too sweet and has a refreshing taste. The brioche dough has a nice texture. The almonds on top also add a nice crunch. It can be enjoyed lightly. All of them were delicious and of high quality. The brioche and croissant were already sold out, so I was glad I made a reservation. Thank you for the meal!

I arrived at the restaurant around 8:30 in the morning for breakfast, and there were already a few customers inside. The bakery is located in a residential area, and I parked my car in front of it. Inside, there were freshly baked bread lined up. They all looked delicious, and I had a hard time choosing... I ended up choosing my favorite croissant. There were a few different types of croissants available, but they were all so delicious! The outside was very crispy, and the inside was moist. Truly a popular bakery! It was incredibly tasty. I would love to try a different bread next time. Thank you for the meal.

☆LP☆ On a day off, KG suddenly invited me to go buy some bread together. I love bread, but when I'm working, I often find it not filling enough for lunch, so I don't eat it very often. We decided to go to this well-known bakery. It's located in a slightly hilly area surrounded by high-end residential neighborhoods. It's not too far in, so maybe you could walk from the foot of the hill if you're up for it (lol). There are parking spaces for two cars below the shop. Luckily, one space was empty, so we quickly parked and went inside. The interior of the shop looks like a home, with only two other men as customers. It's such a small place that I wonder if they can fit three groups at once. The bread can be picked up freely or the staff can get it for you at the counter (although the bread is not in a showcase, it's displayed openly). There aren't too many options, but I always have trouble deciding. I bought a simple French baguette, a croissant recommended by the staff, and a custard and berry pie. After finishing our purchase, KG became interested in the jams on the shelf. She ended up buying a blueberry and lemon jam for 900 yen. It's the first time I've seen her buy such expensive jam (lol). We ate the croissant and pie in the car. They were crispy and delicious! When we got home, we sliced the baguette, spread the jam and some pink peppercorn cheese we had at home on it, and tried it. The bread was just right, not too hard, and had a great aroma. It's a hidden gem that seems to attract many people. The men who were there before us bought a lot of bread. It was really delicious. Thank you for the meal (^_^)
