About this place
For those who have bought the baguette, the contrast between its crust and centre stands out. One customer who chose a baguette with olives and cheese described a crisp crust and a chewy interior. The menu also includes a half baguette, with a flavour of wheat that comes through more with every bite. It makes a good option alongside curry or stew, offering a different kind of pleasure from a filled bread: something to complement a meal.
For something sweet, the an-butter—French-style dough filled with chunky red bean paste and salted butter—is 1 pieces for 400 yen. Another customer enjoyed a bread filled with red bean paste and bought it with a croissant. Choose the combination of sweetness and salty butter for a snack, or go for the croissant’s many layers. The croissant is described as one of the bakery’s popular items and costs 1 for 480. Customers have remarked on its crisp, flaky layers and buttery flavour. It is a good candidate when you want to savour the bread itself.
For the table, there are square and mountain-shaped loaves. The square loaf is a simple sliced bread, available in 5-slice cuts, 1 loaf for 560 yen. The mountain-shaped loaf comes in 5-slice cuts, 1 loaf for 655, and is noted for its moist, chewy texture and buttery aroma. You might compare the two: the square loaf with butter or jam on toast, or the mountain-shaped one for its own flavour. Other baked treats include a wholemeal scone with maple and walnuts, and a cocoa muffin filled with chocolate and finished with a chocolate coating. They offer another option when you want to take home something baked rather than a sweet bread.
NittaBakery is on Tamoncho, east of Rokuhara Minamitori, and opens from 8 to 17 on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays. Some customers choose bread for breakfast and report visiting soon after opening, while others say there was less choice in the afternoon. If you have a particular bread in mind, consider going earlier.
