The bread at Ichibontou was surprisingly sweet for a plain loaf. The Pain de Mie was excellent, with a lovely wheat aroma. When toasted, it had a nice crispy outer layer which I preferred. As a bonus, I also got a raisin bread which was delicious with plenty of raisins in it.

A bakery that looks like a traditional Japanese musical instrument. They seem to be baking bread all day, with a display showing when each type of bread will be ready. I really like torn bread, it's delicious! I couldn't eat it right away after buying it, so I couldn't experience the freshly baked feeling, but it was still very tasty bread. The red bean paste one, I tore it apart and ate it as is. There were so many different kinds of bread, so next time I'll take a little more time to choose before buying. It was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

I casually purchased some bread at this popular bakery known for selling out quickly. The small purchasing counter offers a selection of carefully curated jams and other accompaniments to enjoy with the bread. Everything looked delicious. They have a variety of bread, from classic bestsellers to trendy organic options. When I bought their signature item as a souvenir, they also gave me a few slices of the whole wheat bread I was curious about to try on the spot. It was really satisfying. Thank you for the meal.

I earned some money... It was tough to draft. I went to Sapporo. We were supposed to go together, but work didn't allow it. Yome-san went on Friday and I went on Saturday. We were together in Sapporo for only an hour. Yome-san soaked in the bath until she caught the evening bus. Not a soapland girl. Not a girl popping pills after a bath. Had a beer. Then wandered around the city. Found an exciting square and bought bread. The owner came and we ended up chatting. Yome-san really liked it. The dough was moist and she liked it. There were a lot of raisins, but the raisins themselves were so-so. Maybe Yome-san hyped it up too much, raising the bar.

The bread is baked multiple times a day, with the baking times posted. The concept seems to be that you can go buy your favorite bread when it's freshly baked. Personally, I really liked the walnut spread - it's not too sweet, full of walnuts, and very delicious. Also, I tried a sample of the bread made with 50% soy flour. It's low in sugar and high in protein! It seems like a promising newcomer in the bread industry. I wish it was 100% soy flour, but that's not available yet, so it's understandable. I've tried several low-sugar breads before, but the taste was terrible. However, this soy flour bread is tasty enough to be part of my daily meals. I plan to buy it next time. Also, the red bean bread, although it became a side note, was also delicious.

Finally, I was discharged from the hospital for the third time this year. Due to poor health, comments and replies are significantly delayed. I will make sure to catch up on them as soon as my condition improves, so please bear with me. For now, I plan to mainly upload past reviews that have not been reviewed. New visits will be limited as I consult with my health. "Ippondo" is a specialty bakery in Tokyo's Shinjuku Ward that specializes in bread. It is a franchise bakery with a nationwide presence. The unique feature is that they do not use honey, eggs, or yeast food in their bread. This "Ippondo Sapporo Kotoni Store" opened in November 2020. Currently, this is the only store in Sapporo. I visited with my usual companion for the first time. The store is located in the Kotoni area of Nishi Ward, Sapporo, near the Nishi Ward Office. Please check the exact location on Tabelog. I visited around 2 p.m. on a weekday. There were a few customers before and after us. Unfortunately, the raisin bread I wanted was already sold out on the day of my visit. I ended up buying a similar "Plenty of Azuki Bean Bread" for 510 yen. ■ Plenty of Azuki Bean Bread Weight: Actual measurement 416g (after deducting the weight of the bag) It feels quite heavy. The bread is made with local Hokkaido butter, domestic fresh cream, and Katou condensed milk in the dough. The dough is slightly milky. Hokkaido red beans are swirled inside the bread. Price: 510 yen (tax included) The "Plenty of Azuki Bean Bread" has a soft, milky taste reminiscent of milk bread. It's already delicious on its own. The "plenty of red beans" in the bread are made from local Hokkaido red beans. The promise of delicious red beans. The famous "raw bread" from other stores is priced around 900 to 1000 yen. Although it is slightly smaller, 510 yen is reasonable among them. It may be a bit more expensive due to its small size, but it is an easy-to-buy bread. Next time, I want to visit early and buy the "Plenty of Raisin Bread" for 410 yen. It was delicious, thank you.

On a certain weekday, I visited a bread specialty store in Koto-ni, Nishi-ku, where it seems to have calmed down a bit recently. The parking lot can accommodate about 3 cars in front of the store. I entered from a slightly strange entrance and proceeded smoothly inside the store, where there is a reception counter and some items other than bread displayed for sale. This time, I was able to enter smoothly as last time everything was sold out and I had to give up. From the menu on this day, I chose a famous store's long bread, which is difficult to eat alone, so I appreciated that this store offers half of the standard size. The creative composition also kept me interested, and so I tried the classic and the ones that caught my eye a bit. The "Plain Loaf (290 yen)" felt soft the moment I held it, and when I took a bite, the perfect moistness was just right. The crust also had a moderate elasticity, and the overall taste of the bread was well-balanced, not too sweet, with a good amount of wheat flour flavor. I prefer this over the overly sweet and complex bread from luxury bread shops. The "Tear Sugar Soft (300 yen)" was soft and elastic, with grains of sugar on top. When torn and eaten, the crunchy sugar, buttery oil, and saltiness blended well. As a bonus, when I bought 2 loaves of bread, I received a complimentary sample bread to try, and I chose a cream ice cream from 3 options. It was mentioned that it can be eaten cold, so I tried it as it is, and it was slightly dry compared to the impactful Plain Loaf. Overall, while luxury bread is good for families or gifts, delicious bread like this for everyday use is attractive. Thank you for the meal.

Located near the Kinshicho area, this bakery is right next to the Nishi Ward Office. I stopped by after having lunch at a nearby store and bought some bread for home. There are a few parking spaces in front of the store. They specialize in bread, offering around 10 different types of bread. Each type of bread has a different baking time, so it's a good idea to check the baking times in advance if you have a specific bread in mind. This time, I bought the "Ippondo Plain (290 yen)" and the "Hokkaido Salt Butter Bread (420 yen)". Both breads had a fluffy texture and were soft all the way to the crust, and they were delicious. Unlike trendy high-end bread, the prices here are reasonable, making it a great choice for everyday use.

I visited the restaurant that I've been curious about since it opened, hoping that there wouldn't be a long line. There was no line, but most of the menu items were marked as "sold out" in front of the store. They seem to stagger the baking times due to the wide variety of items. I wanted to try the low-carb bread (S size for 380 yen), but I couldn't buy it because the baking time didn't match up. This is a low-carb mini bread. I always thought low-carb bread would be dry, but this one was moist and tasty. It had a more fragrant taste than regular bread. The fact that it's rich in dietary fiber and protein is appealing. I still want to try the plain version, but checking the baking times on social media or making a reservation seems like a hassle (laughs). I wish they would bake the plain bread in smaller batches. Hopefully, I'll be lucky enough to encounter it one day (laughs).

Hmm? I was planning to write a review, but I couldn't find the name of the restaurant. I went in the afternoon, heard about the yogurt bread starting to be sold on the 22nd on Twitter, so I tried the yogurt bread for the first time! It was 460 yen. There was hardly any yogurt sourness, but for 460 yen... I don't think I'll repeat it. Next time, I'll try a different bread! Also, the entrance to the store is at the back, so it's a bit awkward not knowing if the staff are inside, making small talk a bit awkward. Of course, once inside, there was no small talk at all, the service was very polite. But for some reason, when I left with the bread in hand, the words "Oh, we'll have leftovers again today" somehow struck a chord. It felt like I was here for clearance sale leftovers... When you enter the store, it would be nice if they had a bell or something at the entrance to let them know someone has entered!

I visited Ichimondo, a bakery similar to Kinoto. When I came before, all the bread was sold out, but today when I visited during the day, there was still plenty of stock. I bought the most popular freshly made cream bread. Surprisingly, they cut the bread to your desired size for free at this bakery. They also accept various smartphone payment methods.

There are two parking spaces in front of the store, and it used to be crowded when it first opened, but now you can buy without any issues. It's not considered a high-end bread, so the main competitors in the area are likely Okame-ya, Seven Eleven's Gold Series, and Donguri-san's bread. The regular plain bread doesn't receive such low ratings, but this time I purchased a 400 yen loaf of cream bread, which is considered a high-end bread priced similarly to others in the market (usually 800 yen for 2 pounds). I enjoy trying different breads, but this one was not tasty at all! It seemed like the ingredients were off - the bottom was about 5mm raw-like texture that lingered in the mouth, along with a noticeable saltiness and lack of flavor. It felt like a waste of cream. Honestly, this was quite disappointing. If they offer plain bread for 290 yen, it might be better received. It would be nice if they could ensure a certain level of quality even for the plain bread. Maybe it's better to reserve the plain bread during certain hours like 10-17... Next time, I hope to try another bread and write a review saying it was delicious!

This is around the Shin-Kotoni Station. A popular place with 6 customers in front of us and 4 behind us. Surprisingly popular for a somewhat minor location! I brought them here because they wanted to eat Neapolitan in Shin-Kotoni, finish some errands in Kita-ku, and buy bread for tomorrow. The bread just came out of the oven and the smell is amazing! Even my Lamborghini in the parking lot is enjoying the aroma of the bread. Can't resist it! The next morning, we enjoyed the bread. The cream is smooth with fine texture and thin crust, giving a light sweetness. It's not honey-like sweetness but a unique cream sweetness. It's quite a well-made high-quality bread. Japanese bread is usually similar, but this one has a simple wheat aroma. The crust is thin and crispy, very refreshing! The bread here has a nice thin crust. It's not grainy, so it was good for breakfast. My wife also liked it, so we will definitely buy it again. Thank you for the meal!

The jam that a friend bought for me the other day was so delicious that I decided to stop by the shop today for a snack. I originally planned to buy freshly baked milk bread and honey milk and leave, but the staff recommended the newly arrived strawberry butter, so I couldn't resist and bought it as well. The honey milk is like a pudding-like condensed milk, and it is delicious on its own or spread on bread. The strawberry butter, as the name suggests, tastes similar to when you spread butter on bread and top it with jam. The acidity is slightly reduced, making it easier to eat.

I went to Ippondo, which opened near the Nishi Ward Office, for lunch on Saturday. I wanted to try the cream bread and ice cream bread, but they only had three types available: Japanese bread, low-carb bread, and matcha bread. I bought the low-carb bread and matcha bread. They were smaller in size compared to other shops. The low-carb bread had no sweetness and I had it as a sandwich. The matcha bread had a strong matcha aroma, was fluffy, and tasted delicious on its own. They seem to sell different types of bread depending on the time of day, so I plan to visit at a different time next time.

I stopped by because I was close by, but all the bread was sold out. I couldn't believe it. I decided to get a numbered ticket and wait for the next batch to be ready. The only option was Japanese bread. Before I knew it, a long line had formed. After about 5 minutes, the bread was ready. They explained that the bread is handed out based on the order of the pots. They had a sign saying they would cut it for you, but it would take about 30 minutes because the freshly baked bread is too soft to cut. I decided to cut it myself at home. They gave it to me in a paper bag, but it was too small, so I had to transfer it to a plastic bag at home. The bread itself was finely textured and not too sweet. It was quite firm, so it would be good for making a sandwich with savory fillings. If you're willing to wait, it might be worth it, especially since the place is relatively new.

Opened on November 4, 2020♪ Located a little off the beaten path, this bakery offers different items depending on the time of day. It's recommended to visit during the time when the 7 varieties of square bread are freshly baked. When Totoron visited, only matcha and low-sugar options were available, so they bought matcha bread for 400 yen. The freshly baked bread was fluffy with a hint of matcha flavor and slight sweetness. Totoron wanted raisin bread but will try it next time.
