I never thought steamed bread could be so delicious until I tried Yakumo Mushipan. They specialize in steamed bread and doughnuts and have an adorable storefront. I never thought of having steamed bread as a treat, but they were so tasty looking that even though we bought these “to go”, we ended up eating them at the store. There’s only 4 seats inside and a table outside, but if you eat there they give you free hoji-cha to go with your snack – which makes it worth eating it there because they warm your steam bread before you eat it too! If you get a chance to check this place out, be sure to stop by the beautiful Komazawa Park nearby and have a picnic there too :)

Maccha-an doughnut (grean tea with red bean) – 210yen

Found a cute melon pan shop right outside/underneath the Gakugeidaigaku train station in an area called “Gakudai-Ichiba”. Apparently this place just opened on April 11th, 2012 and it’s one of melonpan factory’s ten locations. The place smells amazing when you pass by… you simply can’t walk by without buying one.

Their most popular flavor is the plain original (170yen), and it’s pretty good! Naturally, it’s best eaten right when you buy it. I’ve also tried their maple flavor but it’s not that much different than the plain so I would stick to the original. They also have some other more wacky flavors such as strawberry, chocolate, green tea, cinamon, caramel and orange if you’re feeling adventurous… If that’s not enough, they also sell croissants and apple pie. A good place to grab a snack!

If you haven’t checked out Muji, you definitely should. It’s a great store that has everything from stationary and clothing to furniture and food. Some of the larger Muji stores also have a cafe attached, called Muji Cafe. The store that’s located in Yurakucho/Ginza is one of the largest Muji stores in Tokyo and it also contains the largest Cafe Muji i’ve ever seen. It’s a great place to have a light lunch or a tea/coffee break if you’re doing a shopping session in Ginza.

As you can see from the photos above, the cafe also includes a bakery section with a variety of delicious baked goods. If you’re going to buy something from the bakery, I would recommend their number 1 seller, the pretzel croissant with red bean.

Want a freshly baked melon pan? This Melon pan shop is located on the same street as the monjyayaki place I blogged about in Tsukishima. Even if you’re full after your monjyayaki, you’ll definitely want to make room for this dessert. This freshly baked melon pan is crispy on the outside but fluffy on the inside! Since it is freshly baked, I recommend eating it right away! 160yen for one.

ここのメロンパンは外がカリカリで中がふわふわです！月島でもんじゃ焼きを食べた後にここで焼きたてのメロンパンをデザートにどうでしょう？おなかいっぱいでもパクッと食べれちゃいます！その場で（あるいは買った当日に）食べることをオススメします。ひとつ１６０円。

This chic pastry shop is located on a man-made island called Tennozu Isle in Shinagawa-ku. There’s not really much there except a couple of really nice restaurants all owned by the same company that owns Breadworks.

Breadworks was surprisingly cheap and had really good pastries! We loved everything we had and spent hours just chit chatting. There was a constant flow of customers coming in and out of the cafe even though it’s located in an area that is off the beaten path. You almost forget you’re in Tokyo because of the relaxing view of the bay from the cafe windows. I will definitely be going back to this place!

……………………………………………………

天王洲アイルにるBreadworksでは、焼き立てでおいしいペーストリーが頂けます。私たちは4人で訪れたので色々な種類を頂くことが出来、どれもとてもおいしかったです。アクセスがそれ程良くないエリアにもかかわらず常のお客さんの出入りがあり、人気のほどが伺えました。天王洲ならではのウォーターフロントの眺めも雰囲気も最高です。ぜひ再訪したいと思いました。
