Love this bakery! If you want fresh, cute, and delicious pastries, this is your stop. They have a few hot and cold sandwiches pre-made so you can grab a quick lunch too.

Grab a tray and tongs and head through the aisle to select your favorite goodies. Their bread is the softest bread you ll find. Make sure to grab a loaf and the pastries are delicious. Kids will love the panda faced one . Enjoy !

My friend introduced me to this place. I tried the milk bread, and I really enjoyed it. I highly recommend the milk bread. I had no idea that this place existed until my friend told me about it. I am going to come back and try other bakery items.

I love the strawberry shortcake and their sandwiches with shokupan. The deco of Rilakkuma and Kiki Delivery service is a bonus ?

Great Asian bakery with lots of dessert and breads to choose from. Small line but loves fast. Tucked in Mitsuwa market with lots of little restaurants you can order food from.

Loved the cream buns, fruit tart, and strawberry cream cake.I did not love the banana pastry and apple cream pastry so much. The flavor was just not for me. The sweet potato doughnut was interesting, but also not something I would get again. Others may like these items. Cinnamon twist donut and fruit twist pastry were fine. Friendly service.

If you're at Mitsuwa, make sure you stop by this cute pastry place that's inside the grocery store! Lots of delicious and fresh bread and pastries to choose from! Some of my favorites are their potato, curry, ham & cheese, red bean, cream, melon pan, fruit tart, corn, sugar twist and almond. They also have cute pastries that's shaped like animals / Doraemon that kids will love! I highly recommend trying a loaf of their freshly baked bread, aka Shokupan. This is nothing like the loaves of bread you find at American grocery stores. Probably one of the best white bread out there! Super soft and fluffy and definitely will not disappoint! Don't let the long lines during the weekends scare you. The line moves at a decent pace and employees there are friendly and nice.

As far as finding staple Japanese pastries you'd imagine Japanese school girls and boys grow up eating, Hippo's got'em. They've got the yakisoba sandwich. They've got the curry croquette. They've got the melon bread. They even got the anpanman bun (sweet red bean paste filling inside a bun, shaped like the staple anime character, anpanman)I'm only just naming a few items the you wouldn't normally find in any other ethnic bakeries. Believe it or not, different Asian countries have very different baking styles and methods they incorporate, both traditionally and with foreign influences. So even as an Asian American, I don't always have the same pastry choices everywhere I go.Anyway, I'm usually not able to make it here early in the morning, which is usually when most bakeries will have their fresh baked goods lined up. I had a chance to be there right before lunchtime during my last visit, and I was very happy with the offerings.I think I got my daughter hooked on yakisobapan. Carbs in carbs... could be too much most days, but if it's delicious, zero calories!!! So some of my Asian friends say...

Best breads and pastry! I was missing Japan and the treats here took me right back. And finding ichigo daifuku made me so happy!! I can't wait to come back for more, I seriously regret not picking out several other items that I wanted.
