In recent years, as the consumption of rice has decreased, the popularity of bread has been on the rise. With bakeries popping up all over the place, a new bakery opened on the 15th of this month. It seemed like they had thoroughly planned their opening, but I only found out about it yesterday on the web. Today, I happened to have a meeting in Kayabacho, so I decided to visit the new bakery after the meeting. I arrived at 11:30 am and saw a bakery section on one side and a bistro on the other side of the first floor. I glanced at the glass showcase with a few customers in front of it, and after some deliberation, I decided to buy two croissants for ¥400 each, two whole wheat breads for ¥280 each, two red bean butter pastries for ¥400 each, and a rosemary and tomato focaccia for ¥440, totaling ¥2,600. After purchasing, I went back to the office and shared the following thoughts with my wife: - The croissants were well-made, with a solid form and a satisfying texture. They were among the best croissants I have ever had. - The whole wheat bread was small but not too hard, with a nice texture. - The red bean butter pastries were small, with a moderate sweetness that paired well with the butter on top. - The rosemary and tomato focaccia was slightly large, with a soft and gentle dough, and a good flavor from the herbs and tomatoes. Each had its own unique taste. All of them were made with natural yeast, and the bakery also includes a coffee bar and shop called "Coin" and a flower design shop called "Flowers Fete." I didn't have time to explore the other shops today, but I would like to visit them next time. Overall, the prices were a bit high, but the deliciousness of the bread made it worth it. I forgot to buy other bread and raisin bread today, but I look forward to trying them in the future.

A food complex shop located on the site of a former bank! The bakery inside BANK offers a variety of bread, from sandwiches to pastries like cinnamon rolls and danishes. The bread is known for its unique texture, achieved by focusing on the water content and type of flour used. The seating inside is limited, with only 2 seats, but there are several terrace seats available. I tried the Sweet Potato Croffin and Mont Blanc Danish, both delicious choices. The Sweet Potato Croffin had a generous amount of sweet potato paste inside and on top, with a crispy brulee surface. The Mont Blanc Danish used a special cream and included whole chestnuts inside. If you love bread, this place is a must-visit!

I bought a high-hydration whole grain flour bread at Parco's fantastic event and it was really delicious. It was chewy and had a slight charcoal flavor. The taste of wheat was strong, and it might be my favorite high-hydration bread I've ever had!!!

This is a nice bakery on the first floor where you can get takeout and enjoy your food with a drink in the cafe on the basement floor. They have a wide variety of hard breads, croissants, and sweet pastries. However, there is nothing particularly unique about it yet.

This is a very stylish restaurant. The bread is delicious, the furniture design is nice, and it was enjoyable. The basement floor is a great place for cake and coffee. I recommend it. I looked it up online, it's HEIWA Real Estate around here. There are a lot of cafes in this area, about a 5-minute walk to Nihonbashi.

There are no words to describe how amazing it is. Please go and try it for yourself. The freshly fried, original bread is so flavorful that it makes you question if this is really in the business district of Kayabacho. The store has a vibe and quality that would make you think it belongs in Daikanyama. It is definitely worth a visit. I guarantee it.

I visited BANK, a place I had always wanted to check out. It is a stylish shop renovated from a bank. I tried the Quinamman for ¥460, Sweet Potato Baguette for ¥520, and Cinnamon Roll for ¥400. The purchased bread can be enjoyed in the cafe called coin located downstairs, so I had it with an iced coffee for ¥800. The Quinamman had a delicious crispy pie with crunchy caramel that was irresistible! The Sweet Potato Baguette was also very satisfying. I took the Cinnamon Roll to go. They also sell dried flowers and lovely dishes, making it an exciting shop. Thank you for the meal.

I visit this place once a month. The interior is stylish and the bread is delicious♡ This time, I bought curry bread, French toast, and some other savory bread. They were all delicious and I was very satisfied. You can eat in, but I chose takeout✔

In the morning, I dropped off Ricky in Kasai and had some time before my plans in Ginza, so I got off at a stop along the way and went to this bakery. It's not a place I would normally think of visiting in this area, but I had used the bistro before and the bread I had then was delicious, so I had been wanting to come here for a while. I ended up spending about 3,000 yen because I couldn't resist buying so many things. They mentioned using Ease cream for their croissants, so I had to get one. They are open in the mornings and even on Sundays. I'll probably post again after I try the bread.

[Date] Visited on a weekday at 11 am with no reservation. Waited for about 5 minutes before making a purchase. There were about 3 groups of customers already inside the store. More customers arrived after me. There is a bistro attached, and many people were also using the bistro. [Location] About a 5-minute walk from Kayabacho Station, within walking distance from Nihonbashi Station and Ningyocho Station. This area is lined with stylish cafes and bakeries. [Interior] Takeout counter with a terrace outside for light dining. Not a place for lingering. Stylish and woody atmosphere with a sense of openness. [Order] - Rouge Dark Chocolate, Almond, Cassis, Cranberry, Red Wine. The sweet and sour taste of chocolate and fruits is addictive! Delicious. - Chestnut Apple Sweet Chestnuts, Dried Honey Apples. Large chestnuts and apples provide a satisfying crunch. - Edamame Bacon Edamame, Bacon, Gouda Cheese, Black Pepper. A bread that goes well with alcohol! - Adzuki Bean Twist Large adzuki beans inside a hard dough. The sweetness of the adzuki beans makes it delicious even without any toppings! - An Butter Sandwich Plenty of fermented red bean paste. The bread is generously sprinkled with poppy seeds, giving it a fragrant taste. The butter is thick but not overpowering. - An Donut Was this a weekend limited item? This one was just average! Thank you for the meal! [Service] The staff were efficient and friendly. [Final Thoughts] Highly recommended for those who love hard bread!

I have ordered takeout from the store twice and also purchased a bread set online once. Although the bread was enjoyable at home, it would be great if the products were individually labeled with their names (unlike other stores where the ingredients are listed on a sticker). After having lunch at bistro yen in the store, I bought a pate sandwich and a curry bread for a room drink at the hotel, and a chestnut and apple sourdough bread for when I got home. The pate sandwich was amazing! It had a generous portion with thick pate on top of crispy bacon and mustard, two types of lettuce, and the balance was perfect. It went well with sparkling wine and white wine. Although I ate the curry bread without reheating it the next morning, I'm sure it would have been amazing warm. The chestnut and apple bread was something I was impressed with during my first lunch at bistro yen. There are many types of sourdough bread, so I definitely want to try a few next time. It is slightly more expensive compared to similar local bakeries, but the satisfaction level is high, and I feel like buying everything.

There are so many wonderful breads to choose from, it's hard to decide. I ended up getting the freshly baked mushroom and white sauce tartine, as well as croissant amandine and kouign-amann to take home. There are still more items I want to try, so I definitely want to come back. However, each item costs around 400 to 800 yen, so the bread is expensive but delicious.

Located at 6-7 B1F, Komachi, Nihonbashi, Chuo-ku, Tokyo, this renovated building used to be a coin bank and is now a trendy complex facility. It houses a bakery called "BANK," a coffee bar named "coin," a flower shop called "fete," and a bistro known as "yen." With dim lighting, wooden decor, and grey walls, the entire place exudes a stylish atmosphere. I recently visited Komachi and was impressed by the vibe, just like I was with KNAG at KABUTO ONE. After enjoying coffee and pudding at the underground cafe "coin," I bought a croissant and some hard bread. The croissant had a unique shape with a puffy end, and it was deliciously crispy with a generous amount of butter. The "BANK" bread had a chewy texture due to its low-temperature long fermentation process, and it had a strong acidity and high water content, making it my favorite hard bread. Thank you for the wonderful meal.

Securities exchanges and financial institutions are essential in Nihonbashi Kabutocho. Located inside the complex facility BANK, Bakery Bank is a stylish bakery with a variety of offerings including yen, coin, restaurants, and cafes. Produced by Keisuke Oyama of patisserie ease. - Location: 3 minutes walk from Kayabacho Station - Time of entry: 3:40 PM - Weather: Hot summer day, sunny - Situation: People coming in one after another - Service: Friendly - Exterior: Simple and stylish - Interior: Elegant and chic with a sense of luxury - Rating at the time of visit: 3.55 In this business district, there is not much foot traffic, and most shops are closed on weekends. However, Kabutoone and BANK see a lot of people coming in and out. A new vibe is blowing through Kabutocho. I came to buy bread for tomorrow's breakfast. The variety of bread at Bakery Bank is quite rich, and all of them look delicious. It's hard to decide. [PURCHASE] - Croque Monsieur: 760 yen - Creme Amande: 600 yen - Brioche with Rhubarb: 540 yen Total: 1900 yen - Croque Monsieur: A sandwich made with homemade ham, bechamel sauce, and cheese toasted with pain de mie. The thick-cut ham stands out with its flavor, the cheese flavor spreads, and they are not overpowered by the rich sauce. The toasted bread adds another layer of flavor, making it very delicious. - Creme Amande: A creme amande with special custard cream inside a croissant dough that has been caramelized on the surface, offering a crunchy texture, a fragrant aroma, and a buttery flavor. It's more like a sweet treat than bread, and the custard inside was delicious. - Brioche with Rhubarb: The acidity of Hokkaido fresh rhubarb complements the brioche. Overall, I think the ingredients are delicious. The bread dough could have had a stronger wheat flavor to make a stronger statement as bread. It was very tasty but had a slightly subdued bread image.

[Nearest Station] 5 minutes walk from Kayabacho Station [Budget] Up to 999 yen [Overview] A bakery located on the first floor of a facility a 5-minute walk from Kayabacho Station. Next to it is a bistro, and on the basement floor, there is a cafe and a dried flower shop. The bakery offers whole wheat bread made from whole grain flour, with dozens of bread varieties available. The open terrace and seating for two inside the store provide a stylish and relaxing cafe experience. Their bread ice cream is famous, so be sure to try it when you visit! [Menu] Bread Ice Cream, French Toast [Notes] Discovered this stylish facility while taking a walk and decided to visit. The entrance of the store has a large tree and a golden sign, making it the most Instagrammable spot! The interior, originally a bank, had a chic and calm atmosphere with exposed concrete walls. The bread ice cream was surprisingly delicious, lighter than regular vanilla ice cream! It was perfectly seasoned with plenty of sugar even when paired with bread rusks. It was a delightful meal.

I found a bakery while exploring Machiya Town. There aren't many shops open on weekend mornings around here. There are flower shops and bistros. It seems that there is seating inside on weekdays, but on weekends there are only a couple of small tables inside and a few outside, so it seems like takeout is the main focus. The interior was already full on this day, so I bought some bread and a cafe latte to go! I purchased a teriyaki chicken and nori-topped baguette and an anko butter sandwich. There were several breads in the baguette series, but this one was really delicious... Nori and teriyaki go well together (^ ^) I want to try the others too! The anko butter sandwich wasn't really to my liking in terms of bread.

The store had a stylish interior with a small eat-in space. I purchased a bread called Kabuto, made with a blend of whole wheat flour from Hokkaido. It was delicious as it is, but when reheated, the aroma of wheat spread even more, making it very tasty. Thank you very much.

While in Asakusa (after visiting the Hozuki Market for thunder protection), I stopped by ease in Ningyocho and Kabutocho. Asakusa was too crowded, making it impossible to buy anything. Also, many places in the Asakusa area are closed on Mondays. ease and teal, which are part of the same group, are not just bakeries but also sell flowers, interior goods, and have bistros, cafes, and bars. One of these places is BANK, produced by Keisuke Oyama and headed by chef Fumitomo Sugai, who previously worked at The Peninsula Tokyo. The exterior and interior of the restaurant have an elegant ease feel, with grey walls and wooden accents. The ceilings are high, giving it a grand feel. It opens at 8 am on weekdays, which is great. The bread here is on the darker side, with a variety of options. The Tartine with three flavors, Bostock, and the Daizu Twist were all delicious. The Orange and Chocolate bread was good but a bit pricey. The Kaku Pan was a blend of different types of wheat and was rich in flavor. The prices are a bit high, but the variety and quality make it worth it.

[July 7, 2023 Morning] The Cheese Tomato Bread is very creamy with a sharp kick of black pepper and a strong acidity from the tomato. I believe they use carefully selected ingredients. Noteworthy is the fact that the bread dough is brioche. It may look like a regular roll at first glance, but when you split it open, it is soft and slightly sweet, which complements the "creamy, spicy, and acidic" elements on top very well.

Bakery, restaurant, bar, and cafe all in one shop! You can buy bread on the first floor, relax in the cafe bar downstairs, or enjoy a light meal near the register. I want to try the restaurant next time. Items purchased: - Pate sandwich 780 yen: A hearty pate sandwich with a substantial weight. - Croque-monsieur: When reheated, the bread becomes crispy, filled with plenty of tender pork loin and creamy white sauce. A high-quality sandwich! - Croissant 400 yen: A popular bread made with aged fermented butter. When reheated at home the next day, it is dense and not overly buttery.

The trendy district of Kabutocho has undergone a transformation, becoming a fashionable area. The bakery called Bank fits right in with its stylish atmosphere, and it's part of the ease group. I tried their croissant and iced coffee. The croissant has a unique shape, resembling a ribbon knot at the tip. They use their original homemade fermented butter, giving it a crispy exterior and a fluffy interior with a delightful buttery aroma. It's a croissant that makes you want to keep eating. It paired perfectly with the coffee.
