On Saturdays at 11:30, there were a few people waiting. They seem to incorporate tomato into 9-10 of their items, but even if you're told, you wouldn't know. Nonetheless, the dough is delicious. The sausage goes perfectly with melted butter. Tomato and sausage make a great combo. The dough with Vanthel red wine is incredibly tasty. It's chewy yet moist, a texture you'd want to savor forever. Cranberries and nuts complement each other perfectly. The Charakuri, a caramel and walnut specialty available only on weekends, is delightful. They seem to enjoy incorporating flavors here. The custard inside is subtly flavored, making it a sweet treat somewhere between a cheese tart and cream bread. The Potichoco, with pumpkin-infused dough, doesn't taste strongly of pumpkin. Instead, the deliciousness of the chocolate stands out, especially with the cocoa powder. The bakery maintains a high level of care in packaging, display, and descriptions. The staff is friendly and knowledgeable about bread, clearly showing their passion for it. Plus, the prices are fair. Bakeries like this, offering more than just great taste, naturally leave you smiling after you leave.

Located near the peaceful residential area after passing through the shopping street of Gakugeidaigaku Station, this is a charming bakery. The bread here is baked with whole wheat flour and the wonderful owner kindly advised us to reheat before eating. A variety of breads are displayed in the showcase. Today, I chose the Complete (walnut and fig inside after roasting) for ¥390 and the Cromage (black sesame and fromage inside) for ¥280. Both breads had a strong wheat flavor! They were very, very delicious. There were also breads wrapped around whole shishito peppers and using vegetables like "Shiitake O." I definitely want to try them next time. Thank you for the meal.

Crispy and delicious muffins baked in the oven with a fragrant aroma at M Size in Takanoban, Meguro-ku, Tokyo. English Muffin for ¥140. Follow them on Instagram at tsukasan777 and on Twitter at tsukasan2010.

Visited on the way home from work in Meguro. The exterior doesn't look like a bakery at first glance. There are many unique breads, so it may be confusing, but the friendly customer service saying to take your time and ask for help is reassuring. I purchased six types of bread: a green onion bread called Negi's, a croissant-style black cheese bread, a sausage roll-like bread with grape red bean paste, a sesame cream bread, a deep-fried donut-like bread. It is recommended to re-bake all of them at home. Reheating brings out the yeast flavor, and indeed, the aroma becomes richer and sweeter. The bread dough is dense in all of them, with the ingredients playing a supporting role. The bread was all about savoring the taste of flour with a smooth texture after chewing. I now want to deliberately buy simple bread next time and try pairing it with various things on my own.

A bakery in Gakugeidaigaku that focuses on natural yeast. While the variety of bread is not extensive, they offer unique products full of originality. They carefully select wheat to match the characteristics of 13 types of yeast (derived from pesticide-free fruits and vegetables), and combine them with seasonal delicious ingredients to create bread that changes daily. The location is about a 5-minute walk from Gakugeidaigaku Station East Exit. It's located to the right of a lively shopping street. The bread is displayed in a showcase and orders are taken face-to-face. The service is very friendly and polite, leaving a good impression. They use 13 types of homemade yeast, and the yeast used for each bread is written on its tag. ❤︎【Batra】(259 yen) "A flavorful baguette made with 100% Hokkaido wheat" Apricot yeast. The dough is fine-textured and tightly packed. A rare tangy flavor when made into a baguette. ❤︎【Shiitake-o】(280 yen) "Red wine kneaded into the dough with juicy shiitake mushrooms and Burgundy butter" Blueberry yeast. The dough has a faint red hue. Soft to the touch like an earlobe, with a chewy texture when eaten. Inside, a whole shiitake mushroom is included without being cut, juicy and fresh with a subtle shiitake aroma. A very unique bread. ❤︎【Vante】(280 yen) "Madiera-flavored Comte cheese kneaded into the dough with red wine" Blueberry yeast. The dough is the same as "Shiitake-o." Rich aroma of Comte cheese with a hint of bitterness, a bread for adults.

Arrived 10 minutes before the restaurant opened on Saturday and there was one person ahead of me, with two people waiting behind me by opening time. It was a hot day, so they let everyone in as soon as they opened. ・ Goya and Iburi Gakko 302 yen ☆3.4 A blend of semolina flour dough with Goya, Iburi Gakko, and eggs, topped with fried onions. The dough was chewy, with plenty of bitter Goya inside, though the Iburi Gakko had a good texture but lacked flavor. The egg and Goya were separate rather than mixed. It felt like eating Goya champuru. It wasn't as impactful as expected, but it was tasty like a pancake. ・ Orito 270 yen ☆3.5 Dough kneaded with homemade tomato puree, with green and black olives. The tomato's acidity in the sticky, chewy dough, combined with finely chopped olives near the skin, provided a delicious saltiness. Among the ones I bought, this had the best chewy dough, which I liked. ・ Vansel 378 yen ☆3.4 Dough kneaded with red wine, with a firm surface and a dense, bagel-like interior. The acidity wasn't particularly noticeable. Hazelnuts and cranberries were generously mixed inside, providing a delightful sweet and sour crunch. The balance between the dough and ingredients was good, with just the right amount of sweetness. Despite its appearance, it was a chewy bagel when eaten. ・ Shiitake-O 280 yen ☆3.4 Dough kneaded with red wine, with shiitake mushrooms and Burgundy butter. The dough, similar to a chewy bagel, had a whole shiitake mushroom inside, giving a strong mushroom flavor, while the Burgundy butter on top was minimal and not very noticeable. The dough was the same as Vansel's, but due to the moisture from the shiitake, this one felt more moist and chewy.

This is a small bakery that I've been curious about for a while. They are open relatively late if they still have bread. This time, I tried the following bread: ★Neggy's - 230 yen. It's a bread made by mixing steamed potatoes with onions, shallots, green onions, sesame, and Parmesan cheese. It's also a chewy bread. ★Takabana Toast - Tomarl - 150 yen. It's a chewy bread made by mixing tomato puree and fresh tomatoes. It's quite satisfying. ★Cromage - 280 yen. It's a solid and chewy bread made in the shape of a croissant, with plenty of black sesame paste, Parmesan cheese, and Gruyere cheese mixed in. It's surprisingly heavy. The owner kindly warned me that they are quite heavy, so be careful. They also advised to lightly toast all the bread before eating.

I visited this bakery as part of my tour of top 100 bread shops. It was a bit hidden in a corner after walking through the shopping street from the station! It's a small and cute bakery with a very distinctive atmosphere and lineup! I bought a Tomar, which is not commonly seen. It had a complex flavor and was delicious! I would like to visit again if I have the chance.

Located about a 5-minute walk from Gakugeidaigaku Station on the Tokyu Toyoko Line. Arrived at 1:10 PM on Saturday to find 2 groups inside and 1 group outside already. Waited about 5 minutes to get a table. Today's purchases (prices excluding tax): ・Takahashi Toast 390 yen Made with 100% Hokkaido wheat bread. It's recommended to lightly toast it before eating. ・Blueberry Yogurt 230 yen Dough made with Caspian Sea yogurt, filled with dried blueberries, and topped with blueberries in syrup. ・Yopple 330 yen A roll bread made with only Caspian Sea yogurt, organic maple sugar, and crushed almonds rolled inside. All were delicious.

Took a day off and visited solo. Located a 4-5 minute walk from the Gakugeidaigaku Station, nestled in a residential area just off the Higashiguchi Shotengai, this bakery uses 13 types of yeast derived from pesticide-free vegetables and fruits, crafting exquisite bread with meticulous attention. A wildly popular shop known as Takaban Madam, it has won the Best 100 Bread Shops award in '20 and '22 consecutively. On a certain Friday at 11:20, I arrived 10 minutes before the opening time. The shutters were still half-closed. At the opening time of 11:30, there were no other waiting customers. It seems I was a bit too eager. The owner, a shy smile on her face (*´艸`*)ﾃﾍ, made eye contact with me as she opened the shutters, saying, "Oh my! Thank you for lining up before we opened! I apologize for the long wait. Please, come in꒰ ∩´∇ `∩꒱." The sales area is not very spacious. They sell their bread face-to-face through the showcase, with around 30 types of bread available that day. Each bread has a handwritten label, showing their affection for the bread. As I was pondering my choices, another customer arrived. I chose the Tomar and the Raiberry. After quickly paying, I was about to leave when the owner said, "I think both would taste even better if lightly toasted for about 30 seconds to 1 minute before eating! Thank you for your purchase꒰ ∩´∇ `∩꒱." The next morning, following the owner's advice, I toasted each bread for about 30 seconds and tasted them. The Tomar is a bread made with tomato puree and fresh tomatoes, baked to a fluffy texture. Toasting enhanced its chewiness. A subtle sweetness and acidity of tomatoes linger in the aftertaste, making it versatile for pairing with dishes. The Raiberry is a rye bread with plenty of cranberries and blueberries, baked to a flavorful finish. Toasting brought back its fluffy and chewy texture. The moderate acidity of the berries added a nice touch. The pleasant and attentive customer service by the owner from start to finish was particularly impressive, and that kindness seemed to seep into the bread as well. It was a heartwarming and delicious experience. Thank you for the meal. I will definitely come again.

The pistachio bread, I can't remember the name. It has pistachio cream on top, and I thought it would be just sweet, but the bread inside has whole pistachios in it. It's good as a snack bread. Delicious. The "Tomar" is a bread with tomato blended in. It doesn't have a strong tomato flavor, but it's a gentle bread. Probably the first time I've visited in about 10 years. As always, there were comforting breads lined up.

A popular bakery that makes bread using homemade natural yeast that is carefully fermented. The 13 types of yeast seem to be derived from pesticide-free fruits and vegetables. Yeast is a microorganism, invisible to the naked eye, with over 1,000 species. It is said to break down sugar into alcohol and carbon dioxide, essential for fermenting bread dough and making it fluffy. The kind store owner is there to introduce the array of bread displayed in the showcase. From simple hard bread to meal-type bread and sweet pastries, the bakery offers a variety of original bread that is hard to choose from. I purchased Complais, English muffins, Summer Chara Kuri, and Tomage this time. They also have limited edition bread on certain days, keeping the lineup fresh. The Chara Kuri I ate immediately and the Complais I ate at home were both very delicious and authentic, yet very affordable. The scent of wheat in the bread is very gentle on the nose, and you can keep smelling it. A city with a bakery rooted in the community makes you want to live there just for that. Thank you for the meal.

In the popular bakery area of Gakugeidaigaku, tucked away in the back of the Higashi-guchi shopping street, they are quietly operating. They use up to 13 types of homemade yeast, combining it with various types of wheat to bake a variety of bread. The clean interior, whether managed by the owner or staff, was very relaxing and they explained everything in detail, making it easy to make a purchase with confidence. Although I vaguely remembered instructions about freezing some bread for later consumption and reheating, in the end, I forgot everything and ended up eating all the bread without reheating. Disappointing memory. - Complete: 390 yen A hearty whole wheat dough mixed with figs and roasted walnuts. Definitely worth reheating. - Mozzarella Tomato: 270 yen Soft dough with semolina flour, filled with mozzarella, semi-dried tomatoes, and basil, providing a high level of satisfaction. - Yogurt: 330 yen Made with Caspian Sea yogurt, this slightly hard new texture dough with crushed almonds and maple sugar. After reheating, the crispy texture of the dough and the warmth of the maple made it enjoyable, even feeling like a baked good. - Brown Sugar Banana: 270 yen A banana wrapped in dough mixed with Okinawan brown sugar. Although it was what I had been most looking forward to, it tasted just as expected. The coconut flakes added a nice touch. Looking at the blackboard at the entrance, they change the types of bread daily and have special bread for each month, showing significant effort by the business. The staff remained courteous until the end, making me feel almost embarrassed.

I had been wanting to visit this restaurant for a while. At our house, we often end up eating bread before taking photos, so many reviews go unpublished. However, this shop uses over 10 different types of yeast and offers unique bread that you can't find elsewhere. I visited with a strong determination to post about it someday. The very kind shop owner gave me advice and I was able to carefully choose and purchase bread. Reservations are also possible. Unfortunately, since it was a holiday evening, there weren't many options left. I purchased the following: ● Tomato JPY 270 - Delicious! The tomato flavor is strong in the dough! The sausage is also tasty. ● Shiitake Mushroom JPY 250 - A surprising bread with a big shiitake mushroom wrapped in the dough. The shiitake is juicy and really delicious. If there were other bread options, I wouldn't have bought this one, but I'm glad I met you because there were no other options. ● Complice JPY 380 - A hard bread with a sour cherry and cream cheese. You can slightly taste the sweetness of dried cherries, and it seems like it would go well with wine. This is also delicious! ● Coco Chocolat JPY 250 - Soft coconut-flavored dough with lots of chocolate chips. It's definitely delicious! It's a joy to be able to enjoy such unique and carefully crafted bread at an affordable price. I usually like sweet bread, but the savory bread was so delicious that it was shocking. I definitely want to visit again and try other bread varieties. Thank you for the meal!

Today, I visited here. It's a popular bakery located about a 7-8 minute walk from Gakugeidaigaku Station, just past the shopping street from the station. Around 2:30 pm on a weekday, they had a lovely selection of creative bread. I chose this bread that caught my eye: Black Sugar Banana for 291 yen including tax. It's an interesting bread with a whole banana in a moist, high-hydration dough. The aroma of coconut gives a tropical feel! The refined and fragrant sweetness of black sugar and the sticky texture of banana are wrapped in the bread, creating a harmonious blend. It was delicious, substantial, and satisfying for the price. Thank you for the meal! They had a variety of unique bread twists, and I'd like to try more next time I visit. *Visit Rating: 3.73

I had an English muffin and a wave character. Both were crispy on the outside and chewy inside. The more you chew, the more flavorful they become. The wave character had charming hair, with three or more strands. I wonder if the wave character gets jealous of it? Thank you for the meal.

There are many unique breads that you don't see in ordinary bakeries, making it fun to choose, and the staff are friendly and provide detailed explanations of the bread, so I enjoyed shopping while chatting. And all the bread I bought was delicious! In particular, the Andekashisu with the refreshing acidity of blackcurrant was my favorite, perfect for eating heartily from the morning. Since my home is far away, I can't go often, but this bakery is a place I'd like to stop by again when I go to Gakushuin University.

Harry is cute from the appearance. The dough is moist and chewy, irresistible. The dough with mashed potatoes mixed in is simple and good. When you take a bite, there is an exquisite sausage aroma, along with a savory flavor from Paris. The harmony between the dough and the smoked sausage is excellent, making it easy to keep eating. The other breads also have a gentle touch that lets you feel the ingredients, making them not boring breads.

The service at An de Cassis and Ichigo Anpan is amazing, making shopping there a very pleasant experience. They recommend warming up the bread slightly in the oven to enhance its deliciousness. It's a popular shop that sells out quickly in the evening, so it's best to go early.

This is a bakery that makes bread using natural yeast. I heard that the types of bread they make vary depending on the season and even the day. Most of the bread is rotated daily, with only a few regular options. I chose the "Tomage" from the regular options. It's made with tomato puree and fresh tomatoes mixed into the dough, along with sausage and spicy butter. Following the recommendation, when lightly toasted and eaten, it tasted like a tomato-flavored hot dog. The "Ichigo Anpan" was filled with Tokachi red beans and fresh strawberries, baked together. It was delicious with a natural sweetness. Personally, I prefer this over the strawberry daifuku from a traditional Japanese confectionery. Although the bread looked ordinary, I heard it was made using Biwa yeast, which is quite unique. They also had regular white bread, which was meticulously made and had a substantial feel to it. There are many unique bread options made with seasonal fruits and vegetables. It's exciting to see what you'll encounter when you visit this place.
