６/７ Rokugatsu Nanoka — Restaurant in Niigata

Came late in the day, so enjoyed what was still available. The Rye flake rustic was chewy and delicious with a complimentary crispy crust. It was especially good toasted with a thin slice of cheese for breakfast. For the Rum Raisin roll bread, again the bread was delicious and flavorful, but it was lost a bit on the amount of what I think was whipped cream cheese in the roll. It was overpowering, so some of the simplicity of the bread was lost. The last offering I sampled was the basil French style small loaf bread. The bread itself, as all of the breads I sampled from this bakery, had an excellent balance of sinewy chewiness and a texture that I positively adored, but the toppings were overdone again. The basil was on-point, but there was simply far too much butter on the bread, to the point where it was dripping on the plate after taking a bite. The main critique I have for this bakery is to let there delicious breads/loaves/buns/rolls shine more rather than relying of fillings and toppings. Perhaps again because it was late in the day, the clerk/baker seemed a bit rundown and put upon to have to help customers. There is a section of baked goods behind glade which requires the staff to retrieve for you, and the staff begrudgingly accommodated us by grabbing the basil French roll I mentioned earlier. Not a sterling customer service experience. I’ll give the bakery one more try earlier in the day to see if the basics of the bakery are done better and if the service is a bit...

2023.09.09 昨日関屋分水資料館に向かう途中で１軒のパン屋さんを見付けた喜谷さんは迷うこと無く強行突入。その名は『6/7(ろくがつなのか)』。ななぶんのろくではない。何でも創業した日を名前にしたとの由。お邪魔した時間が遅く粗方売れてしまっていたが、未だ残っていた『２日目のカンパーニュ』と言うパンののハーフ(税込320円)を購入し今朝の朝ごパンとした。焼き立てではなく２日目。何でも焼成当日よりも翌日の方が味が馴染むらしく、焼き上げた翌日まで寝かせてから販売しているらしい。３日目以降の食べ方としては軽く温めてバターで頂くのしたいお店のお薦めらしい。ただバターなんて常備していない喜谷さん。今回はとろけるチーズを載せて頂く事にした。パン自体は少し苦みのある大人の味。バターで頂くのも美味しいのかもしれないが、とろけるチーズのしっとり感と合わせて頂くのが喜谷さん的には好みかな。

因みに今回はこの２日目の…以外にもう一つ『メープルバターサンド(税込188円)』と言うパンも頂いた。コチラは要冷蔵のパンだったので買うなり直ぐに食べさせて頂いたが、こちらもメイプルが練り込まれたバターと少し歯応えがあるパンとの相性も良くとても美味しかった。

喜谷さんの新潟ベースから比較的近くにあるにもかかわらず存在に気付けなかった6/7さん。もっと早く見付けて通っておきたかったお店でした...

午前中に行くと、焼きたてのぱんたちに出会え...
