When I stopped by the convenience store, I happened to see a bakery next to it and decided to try it out. It was delicious. They are famous for their curry bread with various kinds available. The shrimp curry bread fondue was really tasty, with a good seafood flavor from the shrimp. The chikuwa bread had a different vibe from the usual bread, with a strong presence of tuna making it delicious. The mini melon bread was cute and tasty, with the cookie part being particularly delicious.

I visited "Penguin Bakery" in Iwamizawa to celebrate the 6th anniversary of its opening from the 4th to the 6th of this month. If you are registered on LINE, you can get a melon pan and a 10% discount coupon that can be used until the end when you purchase over 500 yen. I tried the following items: - "Roll Bread": Soft and moist roll bread, very delicious. - "Lumberjack Croissant Chocolate": A croissant with swirls of Danish pastry filled with peanut chocolate cream and topped with chocolate and nuts. It was delicious but a bit difficult to eat. - "Curry Pan Fondue": I chose the regular one this time. It seemed sweet at first, but it turned out to have chunks of meat and a quite spicy curry with gooey cheese. - "Penguin Melon Pan": The bread was fluffy and the cookie dough was thin but crispy, with a nice buttery aroma. It was delicious after a long time. I also received the discount coupon, so I will definitely go back to buy more.

I received a notification on LINE and went to Penguin Bakery Cafe in Iwamizawa. They were having a Spicy Fair, so I bought two of the spiciest items: Spicy Chorizo Skewer for ¥180 and YannYom Burger for ¥400. I also added three more items from their regular menu: Kanefuku's Mentaiko France for ¥310, Croissant made with Hokkaido wheat for ¥230, and Bacon Egg for ¥230. When I got home, I enjoyed the food. The Chorizo Skewer and YannYom Burger were spicy but not too much for me. The taste was good. The Mentaiko France was easy to eat with a delicious mentaiko flavor. The Croissant had a nice buttery aroma and a soft texture. The Bacon Egg was also delicious. Overall, everything was great. The curry bread is famous, but all their other breads are also worth trying. I only have a photo of the YannYom Burger this time. Thank you for the meal!

After a slow lunch, I received a message on LINE about winter bread, so I made a little detour to Penguin Bakery Cafe Iwamizawa. I arrived before 4 pm, but they were already running low on items. I purchased 4 items: Sapporo Buta Pan for ¥240, a curry pan fondue that won a gold award for ¥270, a croissant for ¥220, and two Chibikko Frank for ¥80 each. The Sapporo Buta Pan is like a bread version of a meat bun, with delicious meat filling on a chewy bread. The curry pan fondue combines spicy curry with cream cheese to make it milder. The croissant has a prominent wheat flavor rather than butter. The Chibikko Frank is perfect for a snack, although the frankfurter is a bit tough. Thank you for the meal! Next time, I'll come when they have more items in stock.

I just happened to pass by as usual, but it was not crowded so I decided to go in. Since I had already eaten, I bought something instead of taking photos. I got a 200 yen discount as a LINE friend, which was a big deal! They also gave me a free slice of fluffy bread. The prices are a bit high, but I guess that's because of the expensive flour. The taste was average, sorry. The girl at the register was cute and provided good service. I also saw a cheesecake-like dessert on my way out, so I want to try it next time. Thank you for the meal! *(^o^)/*

"Penguin Bakery Cafe" purchased bread at the "Hokkaido Beef Curry Pan Fondue", the surface is crispy and the inside is chewy. The curry is spicy and the beef is well stewed and shredded. When reheated, the cheese inside becomes gooey. The "Shrimp Curry Pan Fondue" had plump shrimp, but a few more would have been nice. The "Tobenai Shokupan" is a lean bread made with 100% Yumekibara, without butter or milk. When toasted, the crust is crispy and the crumb is chewy and elastic. The "Penguin Pan" is a character pastry that is hard to resist, with chocolate cream inside a chocolate bread. The bread itself is not too sweet and moist, while the chocolate cream is also subtly sweet. The "Croissant" had a strong smell, possibly margarine. The surface is crispy and the inside is moist, but personally, I might not buy it again. "Penguin Bakery Cafe" 8-7-10, 9-jo Nishi, Iwamizawa City Phone: 126-32-3335 Opening hours: 9:00-19:00 (Sunday: 9:00-18:00)

I was thinking of going to a diner I found on Tabelog after getting the COVID vaccine, but it was either fully booked or too crowded, so I gave up on dining out. Then I had a brilliant idea - why not have bread at home instead? So I headed to Penguin Bakery Iwamizawa store. I have bought their curry bread as a souvenir before, but I have never tried it myself. I wanted to have curry bread and cream pasta with baguette at home, so I bought the following items: Hokkaido beef curry bread fondue ¥330, shrimp curry bread fondue ¥330, croissant (outlet item) ¥108, mentaiko bread ¥250, baguette ¥260. I had the cream pasta with salmon and spinach from the convenience store and white wine. First, the Hokkaido beef curry bread fondue. The curry bread is not heavy and has a rich flavor with Hokkaido beef. Next, the shrimp curry bread fondue. The curry sauce is different from the Hokkaido beef one, and I prefer this flavor. Then, the mentaiko bread. It uses the famous mentaiko from Kanefuku. The mentaiko is delicious, and the bread is crispy on the outside and fluffy inside. The croissant is not the buttery type I usually like, but it has a great wheat aroma. Lastly, the baguette. It's big, and I wish it was smaller, but it's chewy and has a good texture. Overall, the bread here emphasizes the wheat flavor and aroma, with a chewy texture. Among the items I bought, I recommend the shrimp curry bread fondue the most! Thank you for the meal! They have a variety of other bread in the store, so I look forward to trying more in the future.

Next to a busy road with heavy traffic, there is a cute bakery called Penguin Bakery! The exterior is so cute that it almost looks like a café. Inside, there are so many bread options to choose from. The prices are not too high or too low, just right. They are known for their curry bread, which won the gold prize at the Curry Bread Grand Prix. I decided to buy a fried soybean flour bread and a loaf of sliced bread. The staff mentioned that if I add them on LINE, I can get a bread priced under 200 yen for free. So, I added them on LINE and got a pig-shaped bread for exactly 200 yen! The staff was very kind and the pig bread was delicious. It had a chewy texture and was very satisfying. The sliced bread was perfect for breakfast the next day, and it was made without eggs, butter, margarine, honey, or trans fats. It was surprisingly delicious despite not having those ingredients. Thank you for the delicious meal!

I stopped by on my way back from a trip to Iwamizawa. The exterior of the shop looked quite run-down, similar to my own house (lol). We visited close to closing time, so there were only a few items left. I bought a Penguin Chiffon cake (210 yen) and a Mochibee Sugar donut (160 yen). The chiffon cake was moist and not too sweet, just the way I like it. The donut had a chewy texture and was slightly misshapen - not sure if it was intentional or due to time passing. Next time, I'll try the Mentaiko France made with famous Fukuoka brand "Kanefuku"! Thank you, Iwamizawa shop, for the delicious treats.

Recently, I was drawn to the Penguin Bakery Cafe, which I really like, because it was located along the road. Although I love their curry bread, this time I passed on it because I was already full. Unfortunately, they didn't have any Marricotta left. I tried the Cheese Bread for 290 yen, which was filled with Camembert, Raclette cheese, and Mozzarella cheese. It was a cheese lover's dream with plenty of cheese. These kinds of cheese bread are not very common. Thank you for the delicious meal!

On April 12, I visited Penguin Bakery along the train line. The baguette here looks slim and cute. The taste was to my liking, so I went with the baguette again. Due to the current situation, the bread is packed in bags. While freshly baked baguettes are delicious, this one lacked that freshness, to the point where I thought it might have been baked on the same day. I had to grill it before eating.

I visited on a weekday. This bakery chain opened in 2017 in Sapporo and has expanded nationwide. It is a stylish shop that seems to appeal to women. There is a parking lot in front of the store. I have been to the shop in Sapporo before, but I went back after a long time. This time, I had: - Shrimp curry bread fondue ¥330 - "Can't Fly" half loaf bread ¥300 - Pork cutlet (on sale) ¥304 The shrimp curry bread had sweet shrimp in it and was crispy and luxurious. The "Can't Fly" bread was made with 100% additive-free wheat from Hokkaido and was deliciously fluffy. The pork cutlet was made with high-quality pork and was tender. Everything at the reliable Penguin Bakery was delicious. Thank you for the meal.

Iwamizawa. Emergency declaration for weight loss! I've been eating carelessly and my growth curve is rapidly increasing! It's just like a middle school student's growth curve! With strong determination, I had lunch. When it comes to controllable food, it's bread and conveyor belt sushi. I'm also planning to conquer all Penguin stores, so I chose this one. It's right in front of the municipal hospital. Inside, there were 8 customers in front of me and many customers behind me. It's popular after all. I chose the following: Plenty of cheese bread for 290 yen, Wiener for 210 yen, and coffee for 108 yen. I'll eat in. Plenty of cheese bread - thin dough with plenty of cheese inside and out! This is bound to be delicious. The bread made with local wheat is chewy and essential for cheese lovers. The Wiener is juicy with a crispy Wiener wrapped in bread. The saltiness and oiliness of the Wiener make the bread even more delicious. The coffee is just average. One-coin lunch for weight loss! Thank you for the meal.

After leaving the hospital, I bought some bread at "Penguin Bakery Cafe". I tried the "Hokkaido beef curry bread fondue", which had a crispy surface and a delicious flavor of beef and cheese, although it didn't have as much cheese as expected for a fondue. I also bought the "Penguin low-carb bread" (4 pieces), with each piece containing 1.97g of carbs, making it insulin-friendly. I had 2 pieces and needed a slightly higher insulin dose. The bread had a quick rise, so maybe the "Rapi" insulin would be better. If you're on a diet, I recommend the "melon bread" which has a great smell due to the fermented butter used. The cookie dough was crispy and the bread was fluffy, with a yellowish color possibly from the eggs. The "pumpkin scone" was soft and had a strong pumpkin flavor with a subtle sweetness and pumpkin seeds for texture. "Penguin Bakery Cafe" in Iwamizawa City is open from 9:00 to 19:00 (until 18:00 on weekends and holidays).

On September 20, after revisiting Kamadaya for soba, I wanted to buy lunch as my wife wouldn't be back until the evening. Since not many restaurants were open for lunch, I decided to buy some bread to take home from Penguin Bakery Cafe in Iwamizawa. I purchased several types of bread, with the most memorable being the chikuwa bread, which had a similar texture and taste to acorn bread. It was delicious. The curry bread I bought, which I hadn't had in a while, was not greasy for a fried bread, and the curry inside was flavorful with a mild spiciness. The egg-filled bread was also tasty. Penguin Bakery may be a bit pricey, but the taste is solid, as confirmed during my revisit. It had been a while since I had bread, and I appreciate that many bakeries are open early in the morning. It was a satisfying lunch. Delicious! Thank you for the meal!

The teriyaki chicken pizza croissant with various fillings like cheese and bacon is delicious no matter what. The cream puff where you fill the cream yourself for 100 yen exploded because I filled it too much. I want to eat the pizza again.

Lately, I've been craving bread for no reason. But I often can't finish it, so I end up freezing it (sweat). Today, I wanted to eat bread while driving, so I visited Penguin-san. They always have freshly baked curry bread, but the hard bread looked delicious so I chose that. I bought various items. Next time, I'll go buy the curry bread.

I finally visited this crowded restaurant that I had been curious about for a while. The shop is clean and has a nice atmosphere. There were various types of bread available, but nothing particularly caught my eye, so I ended up buying some regular bread and pastries. They were just okay, a bit disappointing. Maybe I had set my expectations too high.

After finishing the initial visit meeting, I decided to make a little detour to secure tonight's food. I have passed by the store many times, but the timing never seemed right until today. Penguin Bakery Cafe Iwamizawa Store. I visited in the afternoon around 4 o'clock. I was worried about how many breads would be left, but I entered the store anyway. As expected, there weren't many breads left. However, there were several kinds of savory breads, so I chose two of each. When I went to pay, there was an announcement that if you purchase bread, you can get a drink for 100 yen, so I ordered an iced tea. I had the iced tea on my way back, and it was okay. I will enjoy it with my wife at home later on. Unexpectedly, it was a bread tasting session. We enjoyed the breads with some drinks. The Bacon and Egg bread was as expected, tasty. The bread itself was quite delicious. Next, we had the Basil and Cheese bread, which had a pizza-like flavor and the bread itself was tasty. Lastly, we had the bread with shrimp in it, which was really delicious. The plump shrimp inside added to the rich flavor. The prices are a bit high, but the taste is guaranteed. It was so delicious that it makes me want to stop by occasionally and try other breads. It was delicious!! Thank you for the meal♪

As expected of a chain store. They have a wide variety and many freshly baked items, so when you're unsure, just go to Penguin Bakery.
