Ehime's Beagle (lol) shop that has been leading the boom. Currently, they mainly do events and online sales, and the actual store is open around 5-8 days a month by reservation. (They post the schedule on Instagram) I live really close to the shop, but it takes about 50 minutes on foot from Kusaba Station, so it's not exactly convenient in a retro neighborhood with Showa era apartments. This time, I tried the "Yomogi Sesame Anko Kinako," "Coffee Rum Raisin Damand," "Very Berry Cheesecake," "Pretzel Zarami Salt Butter," "Zunda Mochi," "Pudding a la Mode," and "Some Simple Bread (lol)." Well, overall, it's too expensive... (just my personal opinion) Even a simple bagel starts at 210 yen, and the Pudding a la Mode cost 630 yen. Maybe it's better to think of it as "going to buy expensive cakes" rather than "going to buy bagels" or "going to buy bread." Also, the cream in the Pudding a la Mode was too cold and lumpy. It's nice that it's packed with plenty of filling and has a lot of volume, but I didn't know it had cheese cream, which I personally don't like (I wish they would indicate that). The bagel itself is only the chewy type, but it's really chewy and delicious! I've only tried the Yomogi one, which had plenty of anko and sesame inside, giving it a satisfying taste! But... 400 yen might be a bit expensive. It's convenient that you can buy a lot of bagels and freeze them! The customer service is good, they greet you properly, but I felt a bit rushed (the way the staff talks, the speed, it seemed like they were a bit angry). Well... I don't think I'll be a repeat customer. I was interested, so it was good to have the experience. Of course, this is just my personal feeling, so I'm not making any definitive statements, but I felt that way a bit. Well, I probably won't be a repeat customer ===========

I was walking by a shop and saw the lights on. I checked their Instagram and found out it was the day to pick up Stollen. Even though it was the same day, I was able to purchase one of the two remaining loaves. I was told that it's better to eat it on the first day to taste the alcohol flavor. When I tried it that day, all the flavors were too overpowering and I couldn't tell if it was delicious or not. After letting it sit for two weeks and trying it again, it had mellowed out but still wasn't to my taste this time.

[Chocolat Berry Cake] Cocoa base -> Chewy texture Berry jam, chocolate -> Both flavors are distinct and good, rich bitter chocolate almond cream is moist and rich with walnuts on top of it, cocoa madeleine on top [Black Tea Western Pear Shortcake Style] Black tea base -> Very nice aroma Semi-dry Western pear -> Very sweet and juicy Cake base with cream cheese -> The most generous amount of cream cheese I've had in roll-san's types, almond on top -> Moist and easy to eat [Seasonal Fruit Sandwich] My daughter, who loves a big texture, was very satisfied! Lots of various fruits with intense flavors all harmonizing with the cream, perfect balance with the base [Stollen] 2550 yen including tax This is my 4th stollen this year. The dough is the most moist and sticky, like a western-style kintsuba, with a unique taste. Chestnuts and hazelnuts are generously used. The flavor of rum is strong, with an adult taste. I let it sit and ate it little by little, enjoying the increasing flavor and richness without getting tired of it.

Anniversary set for 3550 yen (tax included) included 8 assorted Shine Muscat sandwich rolls, as shown in the photo. This time, pick-up in-store only. This shop specializes in sweet sandwiches, so I highly recommend trying them out! However, most orders are through online or pick-up reservations. The shop has limited opening days, and it's uncertain if there will be products available during free walk-in hours. The challenge is real. But the bagel dough is delicious, and they have a great variety of sweet bagels (mostly sweet options). Last time, I visited during free walk-in hours and the popular sweet sandwiches were sold out, and they couldn't reheat them, so I had to pass. I chose four regular bagels, but as a bagel novice, it didn't feel special. This time, maybe because I'm getting used to bagels, I could appreciate the dough's flavor even without reheating, and the set offered a good variety of fillings. So, it was much tastier and felt like a good deal, leaving me satisfied. In the end, it's all about my preferences, right? The main point is that even during my first visit, Roll's bagels were of high quality. I would like to try making a reservation again if the timing works out.

My Instagram followers are currently 13,000. I couldn't believe my eyes. Oh, it's in Yahata! Sorry to everyone in Yahata City. Despite being in a different genre of bread, the number of followers for Paris Ash, the number one restaurant in Western Japan on Tabelog, is the same! It is located at the edge of a housing complex up the steep slope of Otokoyama in Yahata City. They offer online sales and sell at the store about 8 times a month. The online sales site seems to sell out quickly as soon as the cart opens. Here, you might find the most cost-effective sweet sandwich with a generous portion. On this day, there were still sandwiches available, but I didn't buy the cold refrigerated sweet sandwich because I am still a beginner with bagels. I tried all four types of bagels, and my impression is that they are not the kind of bagels with a lot of ingredients piled on top, which seems to be the trend lately. The dough is chewy, but the outside is crispy, so there is a good amount of texture to chew on. It was delicious even for a bagel beginner like me. [Pumpkin Cheese Cake] 380 yen - When reheated, the large red bean paste is fluffy, the cream cheese is gentle, and the white chocolate melts out gently. [Black Tea Fig Cream Cheese] 300 yen - Refreshing scent of black tea. [Brown Sugar Walnut Chestnut Cream Cheese] 320 yen - The gentle sweetness of brown sugar with chestnut simmered in syrup is a nice accent. [White Chocolate Rum Raisin] 280 yen. Store sales: 1. Visit reservation (by email at 7 pm the previous Saturday) for 36 people. It seems to be popular, so it is a lottery system. Visit from 11 am to 1:20 pm, with time slots for each. 2. Sales with numbered tickets from 37 to 45. Distribution of numbered tickets from 9 am on the day of sale. You can visit at the time written on the numbered ticket (earliest at 1:20 pm) until 1:45 pm. 3. If all numbered tickets up to 45 are gone, write your name in a notebook for free visit after 1:45 pm. I went to get a numbered ticket. It turns out it was right near the supermarket I go to once a week. I arrived by bicycle around 8 am, but it seems like I didn't need to try so hard. It's good to arrive before 9 am. There is only one parking space next to the store, and there is a coin parking lot nearby. There is a limit of 8-10 items per person, so they have considered allowing you to purchase something with the numbered ticket or during the free visit after. I got the 1:20 pm slot, but there were still more than 10 types of bagels available. There were also muffins and baked goods with no purchase limit. Muffins were also available. There were several popular sandwich varieties. The product plates are color-coded to distinguish between the chewy and firm dough types. The information on the sign in front of the store was slightly different from the latest information, so please check Instagram for the most up-to-date information. Next time, I will try the visit reservation challenge and try the freshly baked or refrigerated sweet sandwich.

In the middle of the Yamanashi Danchi in Hachiman City, Kyoto Prefecture, there is a bagel shop. Despite appearing like an ordinary shop, there is always a long line, which can be quite surprising. Since the Danchi area is not filled with many shops, the line stands out. Even before the opening time at 11 o'clock, the line stretches all the way to the edge of the parking lot. After 11 o'clock, the line does not seem to move much. People naturally start chatting with those in front and behind them. It's a heartwarming moment. I found out that some people are from nearby Danchi, while others came from far away. The shop is very popular. The interior is small, with space for only a few people to enter at a time. You choose, pay, and then the next person enters. They were limiting the number of items per customer, probably to ensure that everyone who came to buy could get something. It seems like a few people are running the shop, and it must be tough to make enough bagels for everyone. The muffins, chocolate muffins... have a chewy texture like muffins from a bakery. Amazake... as soon as I opened it, I could smell the faint sweetness of amazake. When I tasted it, it had a subtle sweetness. Coffee cream zenzai (chewy)... the coffee-flavored dough, the sweetness of red beans, and cream cheese for the cream. Normal cream cannot be used in bagels, so this might be a good alternative. Hojicha Dainagon white chocolate (chewy)... the hojicha-scented dough, Dainagon red beans with melted white chocolate, a unique and delicious flavor. Chocolate nuts (firm)... the firm dough with a strong texture, nuts that don't lose to the dough, and the chocolate melted inside the space. It's nice that they indicate whether the bagel is firm or chewy. People who lined up after the opening might have a slim chance of getting something if they didn't line up before the opening.

Maple bacon cheese is delicious and being able to make a reservation for a visit is great because you can buy without waiting.
