I bought Akane Shokupan (6 slices), cream pan, and anpan. Among them, the cream pan is popular. It has plenty of custard cream and is delicious. It has the logo of "Yuhin Pan" store. When I got home, I tried them. The anpan, although it lost a bit of its fluffiness from being freshly baked, was still delicious.

It had been a while since I last visited this bakery. I went around 4 o'clock and found that there were only a few types of bread available, such as curry bread, cream bread, sunflower seed baguette, and another type of baguette. They were all delicious, but I especially loved the sunflower seed baguette. It had a strong wheat aroma and flavor, with a great texture in the seeds. I couldn't stop eating it. The prices were reasonable, with all four items costing 850 yen. I think I'll need to go back in the morning to try more varieties. By the way, I saw real wheat being grown in front of the store for the first time! 😊

The entrance is a bit hard to find, as it's easy to miss if you go north on Chikeikoin Street. The shop is small, but on Sundays around 9:30, there were plenty of bread varieties available. After much deliberation, I chose two items: Smoked Salmon and Spinach Quiche, and Orange Danish. The quiche was full of ingredients and the Danish was crispy and delicious. The artisan in the kitchen and the staff at the register were all very friendly, making it a bakery that I would like to visit again.

On 3/25 (Fri), I will introduce the shop I visited on a bread tour in Kyoto. The 5th shop visited was "Akane Bakery," a small shop located in a residential area run by a couple. When I entered the shop, the lady of the shop greeted me with, "Welcome! Are you on a bread tour by any chance? (о＾∇＾о)" It seemed like she noticed the various bags of bread I was holding (laughs). Indeed, I am (laughs). From there, I chatted with the lady of the shop about bread for about 10 minutes (I was very impressed that she was so excited to see my own bread list. It makes me very happy to see my illustrations being appreciated in this way). By the way, the item I had my eye on at this shop was the "Yamaneko Curry Dog." And guess what, there was just one left on the shelf. I was lucky. I purchased the Yamaneko Curry Dog and started eating it as I walked out of the shop. The fluffy hot dog bun was filled with a large crispy and juicy sausage, topped with a spicy-sweet curry filling, and generously sprinkled with crispy cheese on top. It was a highly satisfying dish. Remembering the heartwarming customer service from the lady of the shop made it even more delicious. The shop mainly caters to local customers, but they warmly and kindly welcomed me as a first-time visitor. I would love to visit this shop again. (Photo 10th) R4.3.25 illustration.

The restaurant may not have a clear rating on Tabelog, but it has high ratings on Google and from bread specialty bloggers. Their bread is made with domestic wheat and no dairy or eggs, with a subtle sweetness. The trend for smaller-sized bread is not followed here, as they offer a substantial size. The red bean paste used in their anpan is made from beans from Tokachi, with a gentle sweetness. The croissant has a traditional Japanese taste, with a chewy texture and a hint of buttery aroma. Their curry bread has a unique shape and a mild yet flavorful curry filling. Despite using domestic wheat and homemade ingredients, the prices are relatively reasonable. The shop is still new but already has a strong local following. Located in front of a park, it fits the image of a good neighborhood shop. It may not be a destination spot for those outside the prefecture, but it is a reliable and high-quality establishment.

Since it opened, I have visited this bakery and enjoyed the bright atmosphere inside. Choosing bread is also fun. I had a pain au chocolat (210 yen), an apple Danish (230 yen), a sweet potato Danish (230 yen), a black bean bread (200 yen), and a Yamane-ko curry dog (260 yen). The combination of curry and sausage from Curry Yatai Village is delicious. The various explanations on the price tags are very helpful and informative when making a purchase. Once again, all the bread was delicious. This bakery is really good!

Today's bread adventure took me to this newly opened bakery! It took me over 20 minutes to walk from Marutamachi. This area is inconvenient because there is no transportation available (there is a bus, but I don't use it because I can't predict the schedule). It was a super cold day with snow flurries. I visited the bakery at 12:30 on a Sunday. Surprisingly, there were only male customers at the time. The bakery doesn't have a wide variety of bread considering its space. About 20% are hard bread, the rest are soft and sweet bread. Since it was still early, nothing was sold out, but there was only one cream bread left. It didn't seem like they were baking a lot of bread, so this bakery might run out quickly. Due to its inconvenient location away from the bustling area, the bread prices are not high, but considering the tax is not included, they may not be particularly cheap either. The curry bread costs 200 yen + tax. Here are the items I purchased (prices are pre-tax): - Square loaf bread (250 yen): Traditional-sized bread with a mild sweetness, great for toasting. - Curry bread (200 yen): Unusual disc-shaped curry bread, looked better than it tasted. - Cream bread (160 yen): Delicious cream but average bread. - Red bean bun (150 yen): Too sweet red bean paste, average bread. - Bakery pastry (350 yen): A cross between a scone and a cupcake, with chocolate chips inside. - Yuzu muffin (220 yen): More like an old-fashioned sweet treat, slightly dry with no buttery taste. - Financier (200 yen for 2): Strong baked, slightly firm texture, decent for the price. Overall, this bakery offers a gentle taste. I bought more sweets this time, but my favorite was the square loaf bread. It seems more like a neighborhood bakery loved by locals rather than a destination for those coming from afar.

■Visit Date: December 8, 2019■Items Received: Smoked Salmon and Spinach Quiche, Curry Bread, Complè Cheeses with Ginger and Walnuts, Red Cheddar Baguette, Chocolat Banana Danish■MEMOVisited on December 8, 2019. This shop opened in October and is located at the Chieko-in Shimochoja-machi intersection. We visited after visiting Senbon Shakado and other places. The shop is filled with delicious-looking bread. They have a wide variety of Danish and quiches. We were intrigued by the Complè Cheeses with Ginger. The staff said they tried putting a rice topping on bread, and it was definitely delicious. As expected, the bread was delicious. It's nice to have this kind of bread in cold weather. We enjoyed a delightful moment with delicious bread. The Baguette Chocolat was also exquisite, a favorite of mine. It's a masterpiece that allows you to savor the rich taste of chocolate. The dessert-like Banana Danish was also exquisite. You can enjoy it even with a separate stomach. All the breads are very delicious and reasonably priced. It might become a popular shop soon. Thank you for the meal. I would like to see the wheat growing outside.■Blog (URL)

This is a new bakery that just opened. There were flowers displayed outside. When I entered the store, it was already past 3 o'clock, so there weren't many options left. I chose a Nasu pizza (200 yen), an anpan (150 yen), a cream pan (160 yen), a pear Danish (240 yen), and a walnut raisin bread (220 yen). The first one I tried was the cream pan. The soft dough with creamy custard inside was incredibly delicious! As I continued to eat the other breads, they were all amazing in taste. I must visit this bakery again early next time! They have created a wonderful bakery!

A small shop in front of the park that I've been curious about for a few years. It seems a bit intimidating to enter, but they seem to be particular about wheat. The wheat scent isn't too strong, but the ingredients seem to be of good quality. The staff is also polite.

Cream bread for 180 yen. The crust is thin and soft, and the cream is custard-based, not too heavy, and slightly eggy. It's fluffy and incredibly delicious!

Overall, I think the quality is quite high. The sweet bread, savory bread, Danish pastries, hard dough, brioche dough, all of them are delicious. The hard bread is not too tough, but it has a unique aroma. The cheese and quiche were notably delicious. The simple sweets (such as red bean paste buns, cream buns, melon buns) are not particularly outstanding, but they should be seen as typical bread items. The price per piece is average or slightly cheaper. However, since everything is a bit small, the total amount can be a bit higher (at a bakery in a residential area in Kyoto). Still, compared to trendy shops in busy areas, it can be considered quite affordable.

This is a newly opened shop. There were quite a few locals lining up. Personally, I recommend the Lenôtre and Danish pastry bread. The shokupan (Japanese-style white bread) is also delicious.

It seems like a new shop. Even though it hasn't been open for an hour, there are only a few breads left. I bought corner bread, bacon epi, cinnamon sugar, curry, and Danish. They were all delicious. Especially the corner bread and Danish were tasty. Thank you for the meal.
