Got off at Okachimachi Station. Just outside the north exit ticket gate is a famous bakery known for its white truffle salt bread. If paying with cash, you need to insert the money into the machine yourself. I vaguely remember that it used to be located at the kiosk before. In March 2023, I stopped by after finishing shopping in Okachimachi on a weekday at 4 pm. I noticed that this store was newly opened. While the truffle mini stores in Yurakucho and Shinbashi always have long lines, there was no queue at this store, so I decided to buy one. The price of the white truffle salt bread was 220 yen (confirmed to have increased to 248 yen in September 2023). It seemed like the amount of truffle had slightly decreased compared to before, making it easier to eat. In September 2023, before 4 pm on a weekday, I visited again. Still no queue in front of the store. I purchased a cream bread for 330 yen, with a shelf life of 5 hours. I intended to chill it in the fridge at home but forgot and ended up eating it for breakfast the next day. The cream bread had a golden-brown surface, and the cream color appeared darker than the usual custard color. Although I didn't feel particularly impressed, I might have given a great review if I had eaten it within the shelf life. After eating, I saw the sticker on the bag indicating the "best before" date was the purchase day, which had already passed. I panicked, but fortunately, my stomach was fine. My apologies to the staff at the store.

I went to a bakery right in front of the JR Okachimachi Station ticket gate for the first time. It is a takeout-only shop. On this day, I bought a melon bread for 280 yen. The bread has a crispy crust which is delicious, but it tends to crumble easily, so you need to be careful.

I've been curious about this store called High Shokuzai Shitsu because they always seem to sell out of popular items. Today, I decided to try their White Truffle Salt Bread, which had a truffle butter center and truffle oil on top. It was a soft roll bread that left my hands sticky, so I wouldn't recommend eating it on the go. The truffle oil had a great aroma. I also tried their Fresh Donut, which was a fluffy sugar-coated soft donut. Despite my dislike for the term "fresh," I actually enjoyed the eggy flavor. Lastly, I had the Three Mushroom Tartine on Campagne bread with bechamel sauce and cheese. I had high hopes for this one, but it ended up having a lackluster taste, with the cheese lacking punch and the bechamel sauce lacking richness. Overall, the store specializes in imported ingredients, so the truffle and butter were delicious. The flavors are not too bold, but it fits the concept of providing high-quality ingredients for daily consumption.

TRUFFLE is a mini store known for its bread using truffles. This small-style store is located near the station for those who can't make it to the main store. It's very convenient. Order: - White truffle salt bread 248 yen: When you take a bite, you can smell the rich truffle aroma. The subtle saltiness complements it well. It's understandable why they limit it to 4 pieces per person. - Cinnamon sugar roll 430 yen: The dough is not crispy, but the butter and sugar are moist and the texture is very elastic. It's delicious. - Adult's raisin cream sandwich 280 yen: Not your ordinary raisin sandwich, it has a creamy cheese texture. The raisins soaked in rum add a nice flavor. Miscellaneous: This bakery is operated by DRESSTABLE, which runs the European food ingredient specialty online store "High Ingredient Room." They developed bread with truffles, thinking it would be wonderful to have high-quality ingredients that are not usually eaten in daily life in bread. Currently, there are 6 large stores and 7 small mini stores.

I bought white truffle salt bread and chocolate bread with truffle. Both had a good truffle flavor and were a new sensation. I especially enjoyed the chocolate bread with truffle as it was my first time trying it, and it was fun to eat. The chocolate inside was a bit small, so it would be nice if it was a bit bigger. Both items can be kept for 2-4 hours in summer. The expiration date is basically the same day, at the latest until the next morning. Next time, I would like to try the freshly squeezed cream bread.

Certainly, I was able to purchase it even on a holiday afternoon at the Okachimachi store. While it is delicious, now that you can buy delicious truffle-filled bread in various places, it doesn't seem as impressive. When reheated in a toaster oven, it seemed a bit dry, so maybe it would have been better to reheat it slightly in the microwave. I am curious about the egg sandwich and other bread, so I will stop by again. Thank you for the meal.

Mini bread shop located outside the Ueno side exit of Okachimachi Station. Since it is not a commonly used exit, I had to turn back after entering the ticket gate. There was one customer ahead of me, browsing the selection. When it was my turn, I ordered the "White Truffle Salt Bread" for 248 yen, paid with my transportation IC card and points card, received a paid paper bag, and headed home after checking the line of four people at the affiliated store in Shinbashi Station. For dinner, I will enjoy the popular "Various Bread Dough" with three different flavors of truffle butter, truffle salt, and truffle oil. I will erase the memory of witnessing the scene of goods being transported to the Yurakucho store.

Truffe Bakery Mini, which opened around April this year, is always crowded with people, unlike the branches in Yurakucho and Shinbashi. Even so, by the evening, many of the breads are sold out. I visited in the morning for breakfast after hearing about their egg sandwich. I arrived right after opening at 8:30, so there were many different types of bread displayed. I bought the white truffle salt bread and the black truffle egg sandwich. Although there were other tempting breads, I decided to try them next time. The white truffle salt bread is a type of roll bread with salt sprinkled on top. Although you can see what looks like truffle grains inside, they don't seem to be mixed in much. However, with just one bite, the flavor of truffle spreads throughout your mouth. It's simply delicious. The black truffle egg sandwich also bursts with truffle flavor as soon as you take a bite. The black bread is soft and tasty all the way to the crust. Sometimes, indulging in a luxurious breakfast is a good thing. Thank you for the meal.

Truffle Bakery's "White Truffle Salt Bread" has become one of my favorite foods. It may be a bit late. I've heard that there are long lines at other shops, but this shop located just outside the JR Okachimachi station exit (next to Uniqlo) usually only has a few customers waiting, typically 1-2 people. Sometimes you can buy without waiting in line. The limit on the number of salt breads varies. You pick the bread from the case, the cashier rings it up, and you pay at the self-checkout. It's convenient to use electronic money like Suica. The other bread at this shop is delicious, but I still recommend the salt bread. It's only 220 yen, which I think is a great value! I recommend eating it on the same day if possible. The scent of truffle and the saltiness are irresistible! It's even better if you lightly warm it in a toaster oven!

Finally got to go and it was delicious ❤️❤️❤️. I bought two salt breads and ate them right away, and also had one the next day, but it was definitely the most delicious on the first day! I also had a croissant and it was delicious! Next time, I want to try the melon bread limited to Ueno.

Truffle Bakery is making a breakthrough recently. One of its features is that it is conveniently located, even in the train stations like Yurakucho and Shinbashi. Yurakucho and Shinbashi are popular spots, but the white truffle salt roll bread, a well-known specialty, is often sold out or has long lines. If you want to get it without any hassle, head to the Ueno location. You can buy up to 4 pieces for 220 yen each, but you won't get that freshly baked taste unless you reheat it at home. The balance of truffle flavor and salt is good, but some may wonder if it's worth the long lines. Overall, the bakery is a good choice, especially the Ueno location.

I visited the Ueno store for the first time. There was a line, but it turned out to be for the Panda-shaped cakes next door. Since no one was in line, I was able to shop smoothly. I bought 4 Truffle buns, which you can buy up to 4 per person. I also got an egg sandwich and a Cream bun with a 5-hour expiration date. The shopping bag was a bit pricey at 50 yen. The combination of Truffle and egg was excellent. The aroma was strong, and the taste was gentle with a mild saltiness. I ate the Cream bun as soon as I got home, and the cream was gentle and fluffy, like the kind used in desserts. I devoured it in no time!

What? This place used to sell panda-shaped cakes, but now it's a bakery. I used to buy the cakes as souvenirs occasionally, so it's a shame. But I decided to try their pastries to see if they are delicious. I got a cinnamon sugar roll for 410 yen (tax included) and a butter croissant for 356 yen (tax included) to go. Due to its location near the station gates, they are not freshly baked. Yet, they are quite expensive like high-end pastries. I bought them for lunch and tried them. First, the croissant. It was hollow inside and the surface wasn't crispy. They don't have a toaster, so it's difficult to enjoy them properly. The butter flavor was there, but without toasting, it's a bit disappointing. The cinnamon roll had sugar sprinkled all the way to the bottom, making it delicious but messy to eat. Hmm, I wonder if the truffle bread from this shop is good? It's more expensive, so I'm not sure if I'll buy it next time. Anyway, thanks for the meal!

This is a bakery located just outside the ticket gates at Okachimachi Station! The main store, Truffe Bakery, always has long lines every day. I remember when I went to the Yurakucho store, there was no one there, which was strange. I thought Okachimachi must be crowded, but I decided to check it out anyway. When I arrived, there was no one there. I took some photos and was about to leave when someone quickly passed by me and went to the counter ahead of me. This bakery operates on an order system where you choose from the items displayed in the showcase without entering the store. I was planning to buy just a croissant and a salt bread, but I also got tempted by a sandwich and ended up buying it too. I quickly went back home to taste the items! The Butter Croissant didn't have a very crispy texture, but it had a strong butter flavor and was moist. I personally prefer a more crispy texture, but this unique taste was still delicious. The White Truffle Salt Bread had a very strong truffle oil flavor. There was a limit of 4 pieces per person, and the intense truffle taste made it hard to eat a lot at once. It might be better to eat it with a light salad or something. The Black Truffle Egg Sandwich had black specks in the filling, which I assume were truffle. The texture of the brown bread was good, and the filling was generous. The truffle flavor was not as strong as in the salt bread, but it was still very tasty as a sandwich. Although there were no people earlier, suddenly a few people started lining up. However, compared to other stores, it was still easy to purchase here. It seems like this place might still be a hidden gem!

- I had been hearing about "Truffle Pan" for quite some time now. The closest location was at Shinbashi Station, but since I don't have a commuter pass, I don't take the JR line. But then, unexpectedly, they opened a branch at Okachimachi Station! And it's located outside the ticket gates, so even cyclists can easily access it. It's said that there's always a long line at Shinbashi Station, but here at Okachimachi Station, the line is surprisingly short. Maybe it's not well-known yet in this age of overflowing information. Usually, these kinds of shops are mostly frequented by women, not so much by middle-aged men like me. But in the Okachimachi-Ameyoko area, there are hardly any young office ladies around. That might explain why it's not crowded. I've never seen any men among the customers in front of the shop, except for me. But I'm here to make my bread-loving recluse friend happy. As I stand in line, trying not to get too close to the window where a woman is in front of me, I reach the showcase and find a surprisingly wide variety of bread. It's overwhelming, and I can't decide. I panic as I try to choose. Probably, none of my middle-aged friends would be able to take their time deciding either. In the end, I choose the star of the show, the "White Truffle Salt Bread," "Cacao Nibs," and "Adult Raisin Cream Sandwich." I pay for them and have them put in a TRUFFLE mini paper bag. - White Truffle Salt Bread: I thought the truffle aroma would be more intense, but it's just right. The bread is soft and fluffy, and as you eat, the truffle aroma lingers around you. The saltiness is just right, making it delicious, and the size is perfect. - Cacao Nibs: The chocolate aroma is incredible, with chocolate oozing from both the top and bottom of the bread. The bread itself is soft and moist, with a perfect mix of cocoa, making it delicious. - Adult Raisin Cream Sandwich: The bread is chewy and substantial, with the rum aroma accompanying every bite. It's not overpoweringly alcoholic, but it adds to the deliciousness without becoming monotonous. There were many other bread varieties I'd like to try. I'll definitely be using this place more often.

I was a little hungry, so I decided to try a different restaurant and got off the train at Ueno. As I walked past the ticket gate, I saw a new Truffe Mini store! They had a huge display of salt truffles! I was surprised and had to do a double-take. It was around 1:20 pm. Just the other day at 10:30 am at Shimbashi Station, the Truffe Mini store had already sold out as usual. I had bought a lot of bread that day, but couldn't resist buying two salt truffles. When I told the staff that I was surprised I could buy them, they said, "Yes, not many people know about it yet." It was my first time having salt truffles in a while, and they tasted unique and delicious. Thank you for the meal. I wonder if I'll be able to buy them next time I visit.

The bakery that's been a hot topic. I bought two of the famous white truffle salt breads. I had one as is, and I reheated the other one. Truffle lovers would probably find it very delicious, but I think the bread itself is quite ordinary. I also bought a cream puff, which was delicious with a brioche-like dough.

I happened to pass by during my morning walk and peeked in to see what they were selling when there was no white truffle salt bread available. Surprisingly, they were selling it normally... In Yurakucho, there is always a long line from before the baking time, but this time it was not the case. The price has increased significantly since last year when I purchased it in Yurakucho, but well, that's how it is. The good smell of truffle was actually coming from the sandwiches. As for the salt bread, even when I smelled it directly or after reheating it, there was no truffle scent at all. I tried sniffing the bread bag as well, but still nothing... It should have definitely had a strong scent of truffle. Even though the receipt said "white truffle salt bread," the truffle scent was missing. If you want truffle salt bread, the one from Honjo Bakery is much more delicious. If you just want salt bread, Maison's is cheaper and tastier. On the other hand, the sandwiches have a good scent but that's about it.

When visiting a friend's new home, I bought this as a gift! I purchased it when transferring trains and was able to buy it in just a few minutes without waiting in line. When I bought it, the limit was 4 pieces per person. They warmed it up in a toaster oven before serving, and it was very delicious with a good truffle aroma and crispy texture.

It was just past lunchtime on a weekday, so I was able to buy the bread quickly without having to wait in line. There was a purchase limit even on weekdays, with a maximum of 6 pieces per person. I was pleasantly surprised by the strong truffle aroma, but the saltiness was actually quite mild for a salt bread.
