This is an expensive bakery for sure. BUT: the quality is amazing. I am German and lived several years in France - so I have a certain understanding of bread :-). comme’N is especially good for “normal” bread. The baguette. The pan. The croissants. It’s just perfect. Crunchy on the outside, a little chewy on the inside. For many breads, sourdough s being used - rather uncommon in Tokyo, but I really love it. Overall, I have to say that the owner of this bakery is a real genius in baking standard bread. It is “standard”, but in the most perfect way. Many other items are good or very good, but not as exceptional. There is a wide variety of bread rolls, with raisins (amazing!!), chocolate, matcha, onions, etc, but many are too sweet for my palate.

I usually only buy croissants and bread at bakeries. Judging from the quality of the croissant, my expectations for the baguette is high. There are also different kinds of baguette, the staff will explain the difference in the kind of ingredients and texture.
As I could see there is no English menu, but even if you can't speak Japanese, I hope you will try it cause it's really good!
