bread A espresso — Restaurant in Nagasaki

3.7 stars

I'm quite particular about bread and often make it myself so I'm not a typical reviewer. I arrived at 6:10 and was the 5th in line. By 6:30, a line of almost 30 people had already formed.

It seems like a popular shop in the neighborhood, although many customers were first-timers.

Just by looking at the photos, I suspected the bread was slightly heavy. After having eaten it, I think it's dense.

The breads seem to use good enough ingredients and they probably don't use much oil. Artisan bread, some sourdough?

I prefer more sour breads, fluffier, chewy, hard types of breads. I think the dough could use more hydration, then it'd be chewier, too. It's not really a hard bread shop. They're soft, I think adjusted to the Japanese person's taste.

If your family likes osozai bread or kashipan (snack breads), this isn't the place for you.

The earl grey bread seem to have some white chocolate in it maybe. It was quite nice and didn't need any additional jam or butter.

The bread was moderately priced. The baker seems hardworking and dedicated to his craft. The saleswoman, smiling and pleasant.

They should sell olive oil capsules, individual jam packets or cream cheese, too. It'd pair well with their products! I used some peanut tofu to spread on top, bought at a nearby supermarket...

Definitely my favourite bread shop in Nagasaki and arguably my favourite shop in Japan, being a resident of Tokyo myself. It’s so good that my mum and I decided to come back the next day as well and we were lucky to have their bread and latte for breakfast on both mornings we woke up to in Nagasaki. I say we were lucky because the shop isn’t open everyday: the business hours are 6.30-10.30am on Friday, Saturday, Sunday and Monday. We arrived at between 8.30-9am on both days, had to queue on one day and were left with less than 5 varieties to choose from on both days.

Their coffee is equally good. There are 3 standing tables for dine in. The bread would be heated if you dine in and it tastes amazing. The shop owner was also very friendly and very kind. I bought additional bread to take back to Tokyo. I’d make sure to visit the shop next time in Nagasaki. Cant recommend enough if you...

Came across this bakery by chance when I was googling for breakfast places in Nagasaki and read quite a number of good reviews about their breads I dragged my friend to come. We arrived at 6.15am (Friday) and there were already 2 people queueing. While waiting, we were treated to the amazing smells of freshly baked breads. Only 3 people allowed in the shop at one time, there's a menu on the main entrance (in Japanese) and no dine in. If you are driving, you are not allowed to park in front of the shop. Service was fairly fast and the servers were very cheerful. I ordered the earl grey bread (RECOMMENDED), Hojicha and chestnut bread (seasonal), sausage bread (didn't really like it) and fromage (haven't tried it at the time of writing). My friend enjoyed their cafe latte (she's a coffee addict). If I ever come to Nagasaki again, I'll come to buy the...
