A new bakery seems to have opened, and all 4 reviewers are My Reviewer members, so I must go check it out (laughs). The place doesn't look like a bakery from the outside, with an old residential door that leads to a showcase of bread inside an old house. The operation is run by a woman in her 30s, and the interior of the store is stylishly displayed. When I visited, there were 10 items in the showcase, including waffles. I ended up buying 3 items after some hesitation. The "thick focaccia" (270 yen) had a lovely olive aroma and was fluffy and moist. The "tartine" (300 yen) was tasty, but I think it would have been even better if heated. The "edamame and cheese rustic bread" (230 yen) was delicious with plenty of salty edamame. All the bread was delicious and satisfying. The store has limited opening days and hours, so I hope to visit again when the timing is right. Thank you, "Hokumugi Pan"!

The bakery is open on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays from 11:00 to 15:00. It's a bit hard to find. The bread is relatively small but fluffy and heavy. ◯ Round bread (red bean paste) for 180 yen. It has a not too sweet red bean paste filling. ◯ Fruit and nut bread (with rye) for 280 yen. The texture of nuts is good, and the citrus flavor is nice. ◯ Black sesame and sweet potato rustic bread for 250 yen. The combination of black sesame and sweet potato is delicious. I would like to try other bread as well. (June 2023)

I usually use a food review app to save restaurants I want to visit. There are about 2,000 registered restaurants in the entire Hokkaido area. I list up the restaurants I want to visit on that day, trying to minimize travel time by choosing places nearby. However, sometimes I have to go in the opposite direction to reach a restaurant I really want to visit. On those occasions, I have to find the shortest way to travel and make the journey. On this particular day, I struggled with the commute and ended up at "Hokumugi Pan-ten" in Kikusui Kamimachi. This new shop, which opened on May 20, 2023, operates only on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays. I arrived just in time around 12:30 PM to find only one hard bread left - the "Prosciutto and Cream Cheese Sandwich @550 yen." Despite the disappointment of limited options, the sandwich was well-balanced with prosciutto, cream cheese, lettuce, and sauce. The bread was slightly moist but overall delicious. Although I had only one sandwich, it made me eager to revisit and try more of their hard bread offerings. I wondered why the shop only operates every other day - perhaps for preparation reasons. Regardless, I look forward to returning on a Tuesday, Thursday, or Saturday at 11 AM to explore more of their menu.

It's a bit difficult to explain the location, so please check the map on Tabelog for the exact address in Kikusui Kamimachi 2-3, Nakakoji, Shiroishi-ku. I heard that a new bakery opened in Kikusui Kamimachi in Shiroishi-ku, so I went to check it out. The shop is in an old-fashioned house, and I parked my car in the front parking lot before entering. There were only a few bread left in the case, so I bought a "croffle" and a "fruit nut bread" this time. I went to my usual shop next to have them as a snack at 3 o'clock. I started with the "croffle", which had a crispy texture and a sweet taste from the sugar on top. Then I tried the "fruit nut bread", which had whole wheat rye and walnuts and dried fruits inside, making it a satisfying bread. The shop is a small bakery in a hard-to-find location, located on the route to a nearby elementary school, so I felt it was a good shop for the locals.

I happened to stumble upon this place by chance. Visited on June 8, 2023. Wow! You started a shop here? I can't imagine this place being good for business. But apparently, the locals are happy to have a bakery nearby and come by often. Indeed, when I visited on Tuesday around 1:30 PM, they were already sold out (sweat). It took me a second visit today to finally avoid the sold-out situation, but all that was left was 2 loaves of bread and 1 cooking bread (^^ゞ. They looked quite hard, but I decided to buy the Honey Bread for 740 yen and the Bacon Hard Bread for 370 yen. I'm not a fan of hard bread, but the bacon was tough to chew but surprisingly delicious (*^^*). The honey bread, despite its name, wasn't very sweet (sweat). The texture was extremely elastic, making it difficult to chew. I remember someone I know from Totoro who ate this kind of bread and their dentures fell out (laughs). But the fact that they sell out is impressive!
