A collection of masterpiece breads that won't disappoint before your meal! [kurs] near Nijo Castle

A plump viennois sandwiched between butter cream and rum raisins, or a Levain dough kneaded with coffee, orange peel, walnuts, and white chocolate. With the breads lined up in front of the tastefully decorated vases and wooden boards, you can't help but think, "I want to try this and that! I want to try all of them! The bakery near Nijo Castle is gaining fans by word-of-mouth, and it is not unusual for the bakery to sell out long before closing time.

From left, a savory baguette made with stone-ground wheat, five kinds of wheat, rye, and Dinkel whole wheat flour, 350 yen. Levain, a blend of more than 10 types of flour including rye and whole wheat flour, aged for a long time with homemade yeast, 450 yen. The popular croissant, made with a dough blended with whole Dinkel wheat flour and plenty of butter, is 300 yen.

Although the restaurant enjoys great support from chefs at popular cafes and restaurants, he says he had some frustrating experiences when he first started participating in bread events before he had a real store.

Chef Masamichi Nakagawa
Trained at popular bakeries in Kyoto, Hyogo, and Osaka. Opened in 2019 after experiencing direct sales such as opening bread events. Parents' home is also a bakery!

At first, we didn't sell at all. We wanted to make people stop somehow, so we arranged our vessels and devised a way to present them. Perhaps it was seeing the customers' direct reactions that helped me get where I am today," he recalls.

In fact, the store was expanded in February 2022. We have more staff and more bread to make, and our work space has become too cramped. We want to be able to bake more bread so that people who come to buy our bread are not disappointed when they find that we are sold out," says Nakagawa as he prepares tomorrow's Levant. We are looking forward to seeing the new baked goods that will be created in the new space.
