Central the Bakery has two shops, the bakery that specialices on Shokupan, which is a Japanese version of soft bread and it’s cafe.

The bakery cells three versions of this Shokupan, the difference being the source of the Wheat, there’s American, Usual and Japanese wheat. Each bread is delicious in its own right, and has a serving suggestion (toasted or not) written—Japanese style. Each is good in its own way.

The cafe basically sells different food made out of the Shokupan. You can buy just usual toast, different types of sandwhich we and sweet bread versions like sugar toast, Cinamon toast etc. cutely they also give you the opportunity to experience toasting bread yourself by having multiple toasters you can borrow. I preferred however to have my toast toasted by them. My suggestion is to try their Rubben and Cinnamon Toast (not toasted), it’s really heavenly.

Basically as far as I am concerned this is one of the best Shokupan I’ve ever had in my life, and anything made out of it is great. If you are confused which bread to buy to take home you can try the toast in the cafe where you can taste multiple bread at the same time.

The downside is:

1. The bread is very easily sold out. On a weekend do not come close to closing time
2. The price is very high. But if you are a bread or Shokupan lover, it’s well worth it.
