Boulangerie Asanoya Mejiro

The salt butter bread is known for its crisp exterior. People who have bought it at Boulangerie Asanoya Mejiro describe a balanced saltiness, a buttery flavour and a light texture. It has also been recommended by the shop. Pick one up for lunch, or choose a few breads to enjoy with afternoon tea.

For something sweet, consider a cinnamon roll or Shinano Lip apple pie. One customer bought a cinnamon roll and whole-wheat Harvest bread for afternoon tea, a combination that pairs a sweet bake with a more savoury option.

This is a small shop, and some customers note that its selection is more limited than at larger Asanoya branches. Rather than browsing a wide range, it may suit a quick stop to pick up a particular bread or something that takes your fancy. The Mejiro branch offers takeaway.
