A bakery located a 5-minute walk from Uji Station. Enjoy unique breads that reflect the local area. - Matcha Kettle (¥324): A bread with matcha cookie-like texture, filled with matcha red bean paste and layered mochi. - Asparagus Bacon (¥237): A bread with a whole asparagus and a large piece of bacon. Goes well with the sweet Matcha Kettle mentioned above.

When it comes to Uji, there's nothing but "tea"! It may sound rude, but it's really all about tea, so I just had to try this matcha bread from Tamaki-san's dad at Mogumogu Bakery. Finally, I was able to visit the bakery around lunchtime and there were still some bread left. My goal was the "tea bread," and they had plenty of options. I wandered around a lot before buying, so by the time I got home, the bread looked quite sad, and the photos turned out terrible, I apologize. But I can confidently say that the taste of all the bread was amazing. The Matcha Sunrise for 250 yen had a fluffy melon bread with matcha cookie dough on top, filled with cream made with Jersey milk, a delightful combination of matcha and melon bread in one. It was a bit sweet, but the matcha aroma was fantastic. The Teapot for 300 yen had matcha cookie dough on a moist base, filled with matcha bean paste and two-layer mochi, a luxurious matcha-filled bread that looked rich with its deep green matcha bean paste. The soft two-layer mochi added a touch of Japanese confectionery, but the buttery aroma of the bread and cookie dough also gave it a Western touch. It goes well with both Japanese tea and coffee. It's truly luxurious. The Matcha Rustic for 270 yen was the simplest in the matcha series. The crumb was chewy, while the crust was thin and crispy, becoming incredibly fragrant when reheated. With red beans inside, you could feel a hint of sweetness within the bitterness of the matcha. It would go well with fish dishes too. The Green Tea Shokupan for 430 yen, a 5-slice mountain-shaped bread, was exquisite. The tea aroma was truly direct, and when toasted, it was rich in fragrance with a hint of bitterness. It was light and easy to eat, surprisingly fluffy and light. It was delicious with Koiwai margarine, sweet potato jam, or homemade sweet red bean paste. All the bread was made using tea from Tsujiri or Morihan, adding a sense of luxury and contributing to the promotion of Uji. It was clear that they were working on revitalizing the town through partnerships. Using good tea really enhances the flavor, and I thoroughly enjoyed the aroma.

Using my Youth 18 Ticket, I visited a bakery near the station. After arriving at Uji Station, I had 15 minutes until the next train. The bakery was located in a shopping street, a 10-minute walk round trip. I spent 5 minutes inside the store. They opened at 6 a.m. and even after 7 a.m., there were a few customers. They had discounted items nearing their expiration date, like a teapot that was usually 300 yen but was now 250 yen. I bought a Steamed Chicken and Lotus Root Coppe Bread for 300 yen. The teapot had a crispy surface like a matcha melon bread, with a generous amount of matcha-flavored layered mochi inside, offering a rich and chewy texture that was more enjoyable than red bean paste. The Steamed Chicken and Lotus Root bread had a nice aroma of perilla leaves. It's a good bakery for everyday use if you're nearby.

It was filled with plenty of matcha custard cream, with a crispy outer layer. Highly recommended even for those who don't like overly sweet bread. #Kyoto #Uji #Bakery #MatchaBread #Matcha #Danish"

This popular bakery was established in 1977 and is located in the Ujihashi Street shopping district, exuding an old-fashioned charm. The shop was renovated in 2012 and was previously known as "Bakery Tamaki," a long-standing local bakery. The interior is quaint and traditional, reflecting the owner's father's legacy. The bakery offers a wide range of products, including baguettes, loaf bread, sandwiches, and savory pastries. One of their unique features is their emphasis on Uji tea. Their "Teapot" cookie features a green tea melon bread filled with homemade gyuhi and rich matcha bean paste. It's a hearty and flavorful treat. Another highlight is the "Matcha Rye Stick," a moist bread with a perfect blend of matcha and black beans from Tanba. It's rich and delicious. Overall, the bakery offers a unique and satisfying experience.

[Visit date: Late July 2023] I visited around 9 am on a holiday and the rating at the time of visit was 3.66. It is listed in the "Tabelog Bread West Top 100 Stores 2022". I walked from JR Uji Station to visit. Since it was early in the morning, the shops on the street were still closed. This shop seems to be open early in the morning. It gives off a vibe of a traditional bakery. I paid with PayPay and was charged ¥3 for a plastic bag. I bought about three pieces of bread, each priced around ¥300, which is reasonable. There were also breads that used local tea, giving a sense of the region. Thank you for the meal.

It seems to be an old bakery in Uji. The store has a retro feel. The sign says "tea bread," but they also sell regular bread. In the evening, there are plenty of tea breads other than hojicha bread. The typical tea breads include tea melon bread, tea pot bread, and tea sandwich bread. I bought melon bread and sandwich bread. The melon bread has cream inside. The sandwich bread uses matcha from Morihan and tea from Tsujiri. The bread is green in color and smells just like matcha. The taste itself is nothing special, just like the taste of an old-fashioned bakery.

I heard there is a bakery called Mogu Mogu Bakery, which is one of the top 100 restaurants on Tabelog, located right next to JR Uji Station. I went there and tried their most popular item, the "Chadzutsu" bread. They also had many other breads with matcha in them. The bakery is located at 26-1 Uji Myoraku, Uji City, Kyoto Prefecture.

Before heading to Byodoin Temple, I visited "Mogu Mogu Bakery" located in the middle of the shopping street. This shop offers a variety of matcha-flavored bread, typical of Uji. I decided to try the ◼︎Chatsu◼︎ Cheese French Bread (total ¥561) after much deliberation. The Chatsu looks like broccoli when viewed from the side (lol). Inside, there is a combination of matcha red bean paste and mochi, giving it a slightly sticky texture. The top is made of matcha cookie dough. It feels quite substantial! The French bread itself is delicious. It's interesting to try the shop's original bread. It was tasty, thank you for the meal.

This is a shop called Tamaki Tei Yukari, which also has various interesting breads. The shop is located in a corner where shops from Uji are lined up. Parking is available at a nearby coin parking lot. I arrived on a Sunday at 9:54. There were plenty of bread varieties available. I purchased three delicious looking items. Teapot Bread (324 yen): A large bread with matcha bean paste and mochi inside, with plenty of matcha bean paste and mochi mixed in. The outside is soft but has a matcha cookie dough on top, similar to a melon bread. The sweetness is delicious, and you can also enjoy the matcha flavor. Matcha Rustic Bread (291 yen): This is a hard bread with a beautiful matcha color when sliced. It also contains walnuts and black beans, providing a good texture and a nice matcha flavor. Apple Pudding Bread (237 yen): A soft dough with cooked apples inside, with a cinnamon flavor and pudding coexisting. It was a dessert-like bread with a good size. The area is popular with tourists, but it seemed that locals also visited the shop. It's a popular place.

There is a local bakery in a quaint town that uses tea typical of Uji in their bread. I couldn't buy too many because I was just strolling around. They have items like "Green Tea Sunrise" for 250 yen and "Green Tea Rustic" for 270 yen, excluding tax. I took a photo by the Uji River because I didn't want them to get squished in my bag. I actually ate them when I got home. As expected, the melon bread got flattened (;´∀`). It tastes like a sweet matcha drink turned into bread. You can see tea leaves in both the cookie dough and the bread dough inside. It has a cream filling that is not custard, more like plain and sticky sweet. Personally, I don't like the viscous filling, but the matcha rustic bread with black beans and walnuts is subtly sweet. The dough is a deep matcha color with a fluffy texture, not too sweet and easy to eat. Overall, it feels like a nice touch of Uji. Thank you for the meal.

This place is not crowded... The recommendation is definitely the Uji matcha series... I bought one pastry... Paid 270 yen with my phone... Took a bite outside... It's sweet and not bad, but I don't really like matcha to begin with... Now, let's go to the main spot. With this, I've visited the 92nd out of the 100 Best Bread Shops in the West 2022, but one of the shops from Kyoto has relocated... So, it's impossible to complete the list now... Gotta wait until the next update.

The shop introduced on TV by Misako Yasuda, who is from Uji. They offer a bread with mascarpone cheese and white fig for 259 yen, and a green tea sunrise for 270 yen. I wonder if the green tea sunrise also contains Morihan's matcha. The cream used is made from Jersey milk. I went around 4 pm, so some items were already sold out. I was able to enter the shop right away.

Today I got takeout from this shop. Matcha Rustic Bread - 270 yen Teapot Bread - 300 yen Since I walk a lot for sightseeing, bread is convenient as a portable snack. And when it comes to Uji, it's all about matcha. This shop seems to specialize in bread using matcha. The Matcha Rustic Bread has a firm texture with walnuts and black beans in it. Personally, I like the taste of this one. The Teapot Bread has matcha paste with mochi inside, but it was a bit too sweet for me. However, I think many people would enjoy it.

I came to Uji, Kyoto on a Sunday. There were a lot of tourists around. The restaurant I wanted to go to was closed on Sundays, so I ended up going to "mogumogu Bakery" instead. I was really interested in their matcha bread. I managed to enter the bakery at the right time when there were not many people inside. I quickly bought some bread and took photos. I got permission to take photos. I bought the following items: "Chadokoro" (matcha melon bread), "Matcha Sunrise" (matcha flavored melon bread with custard cream), "Shoe Danish" (danish pastry with custard cream), and "Myoka" (matcha bread). They were all delicious. The matcha melon bread was especially rich and tasty. The matcha bread was perfect with margarine. I regret not buying more. The bakery is well-known and the taste was amazing. Uji Main Street was crowded with tourists, especially foreign visitors. It was a truly delicious bakery.

This is a bakery in Uji that looks like any other bakery at first glance. While Uji is also home to the nationally famous Tama Kitte, this place seems to be the father's shop of Tama Kitte? Without asking, it just looks like a normal bakery in town. I went in the morning and ended up buying a lot of bread for breakfast. In conclusion, while the sandwiches and hamburgers are delicious, the fried bread and hard bread are on a different level of deliciousness. The curry bread has a crispy bread with plenty of curry filling, almost like a work of art. The sweet bread is also incredibly delicious. It's just my personal preference, but while Tama Kitte has rich flavors, this place has a natural seasoning that makes it easy to eat as many as you want. Within the high level of quality, I might prefer this place over Tama Kitte.

It gave me the impression of a traditional bakery in Uji. Being listed in the Tabelog Top 100, the shop was crowded with customers. The banana danish was exceptional and truly unforgettable in its deliciousness. I definitely want to visit this place again!

I took out the tea pot from the display at the shop. The shape got a bit distorted in my bag, so I took a photo at the store. The outside is matcha cookie dough, while the inside contains special matcha paste and matcha mochi. I personally don't like the taste of paste with visible bean shapes or the strong bean flavor, so I wasn't a fan of the matcha paste in this tea pot. The mochi part was soft with a gentle sweetness and a strong matcha flavor, which I found very delicious. The matcha cookie dough can be compared to the cookie dough in melon bread, but in matcha flavor. I also enjoyed the cookie dough. If you like the taste of bean-shaped paste and the bean flavor inside, you might enjoy this tea pot.

Green Tea Danish - 250 yen A Danish pastry generously dusted with slightly bitter matcha powder. The crispy baked dough is light and fluffy, with a fragrant and crispy bottom. The dough is also mixed with matcha, giving it a rich aroma and a subtle sweetness. It also contains matcha-flavored custard, adding variety to the flavor.

I stopped by a local bakery for lunch. They had a variety of matcha-flavored bread due to the area's influence. I bought a half loaf of "Meika" (green tea bread made with Tsujiri matcha), a matcha coronet, and a premium hot dog bread. Although I ended up having a different lunch, I tried them later. The green tea bread had a subtle bitterness from the matcha, but it lacked saltiness, so it was better with something added on top. When I tried it with matcha butter later, it was a perfect match. The matcha coronet had a strong matcha flavor and was delicious as expected. The sausage was tasty, but I think it would have been even better if it had been warmed up. They had a wide variety of bread, and I bet they would have been even more delicious if I had tried them fresh out of the oven. Nonetheless, the fluffy bread with a fragrant aroma and quality ingredients was delicious. Thank you for the meal!
