やんやんこ
In November 2013, I visited the physical store for the first time. In November 2013, my husband and I decided to visit the Philosopher's Walk in Kyoto, as it was the perfect time to see the autumn leaves. Following my husband's smartphone navigation, we walked from Sanjo and stumbled upon "Yamada Bakery" on Shirakawa Street. I immediately remembered buying a horn from Yamada Bakery at the Taberuto bread corner in Fujii Daimaru in February. I didn't know the exact location of the store back then, but since we were nearby this time, we decided to pay a visit. The bright store had a self-service system and a typical bakery atmosphere. They had a wide variety of bread, including pastries, sandwiches, and even hard bread. I was pleasantly surprised by the selection and ended up buying four items, trying to resist buying more due to our upcoming walk and limited freezer space.
Anko Butter Horn (\168, November 2013): A soft French bread filled with plenty of red bean paste and butter, offering a chewy texture with a hint of saltiness. The balance between the dough, red bean paste, and butter was perfect, making it a delicious treat.
Venoa (\105, November 2013): A long, narrow salt bread with a crispy crust and a chewy crumb, lightly sprinkled with salt for a perfect balance of flavors. It's more of a snack than a meal bread, perfect for a quick and tasty treat.
Hard Toast 1/2 (\163, November 2013): A hard bread with a crispy crust and a soft crumb, ideal for making thick slices of French toast. It had a light saltiness, making it a versatile and delicious option.
Gorgonzola and Walnut Ciabatta (\336, November 2013): A ciabatta bread with Gorgonzola cheese and chopped walnuts, offering a unique combination of flavors. The cheese had a delicious nutty aroma without the typical strong Gorgonzola smell, making it a delightful choice for cheese lovers.
