LUCKY BAKERY — Restaurant in Hiroshima

Hands-down, this was the best bakery I tried in three weeks in Japan. The quality of the goods is equal to an excellent bakery in the US, or a very good French bakery. The citrus bun with cream far exceeds any other citrus bun I’ve had elsewhere -containing many slices of peel. The breads are flavorful, with the right amount of chew. The fruit bread absolutely delicious. The salted baguette-delicious! As usual, the breads need to be eaten within the same day Of purchase for maximum deliciousness. The triangular shaped bagel with some sort of cream cheese was the least satisfying purchase, as the amount of meat in it was small enough that it could hardly be tasted; I was impressed that they spread the cream cheese...

WOW! What a gem! We were drawn by the incredible smell as we walked past, we weren’t looking for anywhere to eat, we weren’t even hungry but we decided to walk in, and ended up with a few goodies which we demolished in an instant - it was that good! We came back later the same evening for some more and honestly, if I was a local I’d be back everyday.

We’ve been travelling around Japan and the wider South East Asian region and this is not only the best bakery we have come across in Asia so far, but probably one of the best bakeries anywhere in the world. Give it a try and you won’t be disappointed. Seriously. I’d come back to Hiroshima just for...

As a Frenchie in Japan for over a year, I have always been disappointed with most Japanese bakeries. The bread is too soft or the croissant isn't flaky enough. Well lucky bakery baffled me, everything I tried was simply delicious and they also revisited a lot of pastries with rice flour or with a Japanese twist (think anko/kinako rice flour donut, pirozhki with glass noodles...) On my 3 day trip in Hiroshima I have come no less than 3 times and left with pastries and bread to take home. I recommend their small but delicious blueberry muffins, rice flour donuts and "Chocolat au sel" bread but honestly everything was delicious. Thank you...
