When I visited Byodoin Temple last year, it was closed. A 3-day weekend system? They must put a lot of effort into careful preparation! I was looking forward to it, so I was shocked! I was disappointed at that time. This time in Kyoto, just before heading home, I planned to stop by this shop in Uji and then return to Tokyo. I planned to visit in the afternoon, and I didn't want to be shocked again if there was nothing, so I called in advance and was told that I could make a reservation for bread. I reserved a baguette and headed there with peace of mind. The parking lot was crowded, and there seemed to be several parking lots for the shop, but I didn't know the area. I asked the security guard in front of the shop and managed to park somehow. There was also a long line in front of the shop. There are many people here just to visit this shop! The turnover is good, so we were able to enter without much waiting. Inside the shop, there is a line along the bread shelf. There are plenty of bread varieties. However, if you don't pick them up on the spot, you might not be able to get them later. I wanted to try the Knead in Yurakucho, but I couldn't find it on the shelf, which was disappointing. I bought the baguette I had reserved, a bread with chestnut, a cream bread, a cream croissant, and a burnt bread. The cream bread tastes the same as the one at Knead. Delicious, I feel like I got a good deal. Especially the cream croissant is exquisite. The bread with chestnut didn't look very eye-catching, but when you take a bite, it's delicious! This chestnut is delicious! (^∇^) It goes well with the hard bread dough. The dough has a strong pull characteristic of high hydration, with a strong wheat flavor. If it's a seasonal item, it's a must-buy right now. I should have bought more. I regret it. Burnt bread = rusk. It's crispy like a snack. Slightly caramel-flavored and sweet. It's satisfying to eat, and it's also delicious! I will reheat and eat the baguette at home. The crust is slightly thick, the crumb has a good size of bubbles, making it easy to eat, and the wheat flavor is perfect. It's great! Whether it's the shop's bread, sweet bread, or hard bread, they all have a strong pull, a good chew, and they're delicious! It was worth stopping by. Very satisfied. It's delicious. Thank you for the meal.
