Plain croissant & Anchovy croissant

This is one of my favorite bakery in Japan. This shop is located in Shiga, my hometown, and I love their variety:)

In Japanese bakery, you usually pick up the bread you want to buy by yourself. These good-looking yummy-smelling bread make you want to buy all!! I always get trayful of bread, but can’t get enough:p

In this shop you can dine in as well, of course they serve nice drinks such as coffee/tea etc… PLUS they do “morning service” here: between 8am to 10am 2 buns and drink (coffee or tea, you can ask for refill as many times you want!) for 380 yen. It’s very cheap, isn’t it?? The bread in the morning is very fresh, just came out from the oven and still warm (>v<). I go there in the morning, and spend about 30min ~ 1hour there with few cups of coffee and 2 buns.

Their variety is amazing, for instance…

The left is croque-monsieur, and the right is focaccia with burdock root!! YES Japanese people eat burdock root, they are high in fiber and very healthy. I love the texture too.

The left is croissant with Italian pasta chicken, and the right is croissant with vegetable curry. The presentation is very cute:)

Croissant with hamburg and gravy!

And also! As I mentioned before I love hard crusty bread, and this shop sells them!:) Thin French stick is nicely baked, very crusty and chewy inside! Sometimes it hurts my teeth but I still love it. They have few variety in flavor as well; thin French stick with cheese, Mentaiko (fish roe), seaweed, chocolate etc… I love the one with Mentaiko:) Very nice!
