I purchased this soft serve ice cream for the first time! This time, I ordered the Premium Fresh Caramel Soft Serve and the Sweet Ripe Melon Soft Serve! The Premium Fresh Caramel Soft Serve was 278 yen, and the Sweet Ripe Melon Soft Serve was 250 yen! When I received it, I was surprised by the way it was served haha. The taste was delicious, but unfortunately, the presentation was lacking. I would rate it 2.5 stars for the taste. There is no parking lot available. It seems like you have to park at a nearby parking lot and walk over. Payment can be made with D Pay or credit card.

The Ajinomoto Stadium is not only the home stadium of FC Tokyo and Tokyo Verdy, but also a sports holy land where rugby matches are often held. There is a ginkgo tree-lined street to the southeast of the stadium. Intrigued by the colors of the ginkgo tree-lined street, I took a stroll towards the direction of Tachikawa Station in November, when everything turns golden. On the way to Tachikawa Station, I found a bakery where I decided to buy some bread. Purchased bread: - T-Rex: A hard type of bread that tastes delicious when warmed up. - Gorgonnoa: A hard bread with Gorgonzola cheese woven in, also very tasty. - Pistachio cream bread: Rich in flavor and delicious. - Coffee anpan: A bread with coffee flavor that pairs well with the sweet red bean paste filling.

No.2898 Nearest to the south exit of Tobi-dai Station on the Keio Line. It seems like Tobi-dai Station has changed a lot due to urban redevelopment while I was away for a while. There used to be no south exit rotary before~ Along the expanded road in front of the station, you will find this bakery. Pumpkin red bean bun Chorizo roll ● Pumpkin red bean bun ● 186 yen I thought they must be using commercial pumpkin paste, but when I bought it and ate it at home, it turned out to be made with real pumpkin puree mixed with sugar, etc! ● Chorizo roll ● 186 yen They must have baked it in the morning. I visited just before 4 pm, so of course it wasn't freshly baked. It's a bread that wraps around chorizo (slightly spicy sausage). The bread has a firm texture. However, since this dough is originally firm, the texture is not bad at all. The chewy texture when eating chorizo is really nice. It also contains a small amount of sourdough, aiming for a product with a German-like finish with the combination of sausage and sourdough.

I went there again. When I happened to take a walk towards Tachikawa, I decided to buy bread here for breakfast the next day. I bought BTV Bread and Gorgonnoa. BTV Bread is a loaf of bread that I have purchased before. The crust is firm and the inside is fluffy. This time, I enjoyed it with "Curry Bread I Spread and Baked" and "My French Toast" that I bought at Kaldis. Gorgonnoa is a bread with Gorgonzola cheese woven into the dough. The balance between the bread dough and Gorgonzola cheese is good, making it a delicious dish. BTV stands for something related to the name of the bread. Perhaps it stands for Boulangerie Taille Vivant, taking the initials from there. The area around Tachikawa Station has a few shops on the way to the Ajinomoto Stadium, and the rest is a residential area. This is the only bakery around here, so I thought it was a good idea to open a shop here. I plan to go there again.

I took off from Asahi-cho. The main store is located in Asahi-cho, Fuchu City. Among various bakeries, the main store is one of the larger ones. They opened a branch there. I landed in Higashikai, where the branch is located. It's about a 1-minute walk from Higashikai Station, right in front of the station. The store is much smaller than the main store, but the interior is clean. I purchased 2 BTV Bread TV's Fun Friends. BTV Bread is a type of white bread with a slightly firm crust, which I like. I toasted it and it was delicious, with a fluffy texture. The Fun Friends on TV are similar to melon bread, with eyes and mouth drawn on the side, and the hair part resembling melon bread dough. It's bite-sized and perfect for a snack. Initially, I thought the TV referred to a TV character, but couldn't place it, so I assume it's just the initials of the store's name. It somehow makes sense. Since it's a bit far from where I live, I can't go there often, but I plan to visit again for a walk.

I bought some bread at "Taillevent" in Tachikawa. I originally bought it for my parents' breakfast tomorrow, but ended up getting three extra breads for myself. For my parents, I got melon bread and walnut raisin bread, and for myself, I got cheese canapé, pan choux, and three cheese French bread. The cheese canapé has a crispy Danish pastry with plenty of cheese on top. It has a rich cheese flavor and is delicious! It seems perfect as a snack. The pan choux is filled with diced bacon and shredded potato salad. The volume is amazing! I love the crunchy texture of the potato. I definitely want to come back for this. The three cheese French bread is a mix of cheddar, camembert (probably), and other cheeses, creating a delightful cheese flavor and aroma. Cheese lovers would definitely enjoy this bread. The amount of cheese overflowing from it is impressive. This one is also delicious. It seems like the variety of bread changes depending on the season, so I'll definitely visit again. (Let's take a detour!)

Near the Tobitakyu Station, across from the Ajista and separated by the train tracks, there is a bakery shop. It is a small shop with a plain exterior. The products on display include some items inspired by characters, which gives a cozy feeling. The Bacon Epi bread is hard on the outside, but that's expected for this type of product. The bacon is slightly tough, but adds a salty flavor. I eat it as it is, although it can be a bit greasy. The white bread has a fluffy texture and is quite plain in taste. The Camelon Pan has a crunchy crust on the limbs, while the melon bread part is good but overly sweet due to too much sugar coating, overpowering the flavor of the dough. The same applies to the strawberry version of the melon bread.

Recently, Chofu has been making various efforts. They have issued a "Chofu Cycle Map" introducing places around Chofu Station that can be visited by bicycle. The first edition featured cafes, movies, and autumn scenery, while the second edition focuses on bread, ramen, and Christmas festivities. The map is distributed at Trier Chofu, and you can explore the area on foot while referring to it. First stop was "BOULANGERIE TerreViante" in Tobitakyu. This bakery, with its main branch in Fuchu, opened a shop in Tobitakyu in September this year. Not knowing about this new bakery due to changing my commuting route around May, I adjusted my work schedule to visit right when they opened at 11 am. To my surprise, more than half of the shelves were empty. Apparently, many of the breads are transported from the main branch, and they hadn't arrived yet that day. I bought four breads this time. The first one that caught my eye was the "Cameleon", a melon bread shaped like a turtle. It had a slightly firm base with a sweet, crispy melon bread topping. It was less sweet than regular melon bread and quite interesting. The "Meatball Bread" was shaped like a meatball and filled with meat bun filling. Unfortunately, the filling didn't reach the fingers part. It had a Chinese-style flavor, more like a spring roll than a meat bun. The "Bolognese (Eggplant)" was delicious when warmed in the oven, with the Danish pastry becoming crispy. I prefer texture over flavor, so I really enjoyed it. Lastly, the baked curry donut was labeled as "medium spicy" but was spicier than expected, with a strong spiciness. Since it was baked, it wasn't greasy, which was nice. An interesting touch was receiving two fresh eggs as a gift at the checkout. These local touches make the experience more enjoyable. (From "Bread Tour with the Cycle Map")

A bakery opened near Tobitakyu Station. I was happy because there were no bakeries near Tobitakyu before! But then I found out it's the same as Taille Vivant near Tamagawa Station. I bought two pastries - one with colorful ratatouille on top and a raisin Danish. The ratatouille had a refreshing tomato sauce base, and the raisin Danish was not as impressive as I expected, but still delicious. Just having a bakery in Tobitakyu makes me excited, so it's all good.

A recently opened bakery in Chofu City, Tokyo. The location is a short walk from Keio Line Tachikawa-Kyukei Station in the opposite direction of the stadium. The main store is near Seibu Line Tama Station, with several other branches already in existence. For dinner that day, I decided to have borscht. I also wanted to buy a baguette to go with it, but ended up buying some other bread as well. Oh well, it can't be helped. - Mini Baguette ¥186 - BTV Bread (1 loaf) ¥270 - Milk Viennois ¥149 - Gorgonnoa ¥223 - Pain au Chocolat ¥176 *Prices excluding tax The mini baguette for dinner had a slightly tangy dough, making it a delicious, crispy bakery-style baguette. The BTV Bread was a bit small in size, with a nicely browned top. It was moist and soft, similar to the trendy soft bread with a slightly crispy crust. However, it had a strong yeast smell, and I personally wished the aroma was more subdued and the bread was more evenly browned. The Milk Viennois had a slightly gritty milk cream with a soft French-like crust and a bit of chewy texture. While it was labeled as Viennois, it didn't quite feel like one to me. It was tasty, but not quite what I expected from a Viennois. The Pain au Chocolat, with just the right amount of chocolate and a moist croissant dough, was a delicious treat. There aren't many shops near Tachikawa-Kyukei Station, so I'm happy to see a bakery open in the area. I would love to visit again when I'm in the area. Thank you for the meal.

About 100 meters south from Hatagaya Station on the Keio Line, a new bakery has opened near the station, which has been buzzing with excitement due to the recent Rugby World Cup. I visited around 3 p.m. on a Saturday and found that they were running low on bread. The curry bread was delicious. The store near Seibu Tama Station in Asahicho is a bit smaller in comparison.
