"Esile butter" is loved by people for its creamy mouthfeel and mellow scent. Fermented butter from France made in the village of Echiré in the Midwestern part of France.

Echiré Maison du Bourg (Marunouchi, Tokyo) sells such Echiré butter and bread and baked goods made from Echiré butter, where you can line up before the opening in the morning. The croissants here are the finest and most luxurious!

◆ Uses 50% of Esile butter

Echiré butter is used in all products at the store, but among them, "Croissant Echiré 50% Boule" (432 yen, tax included, same below) has a fairly high content of 50% of the raw material, Echiré butter! Two types are available, salted and salt-free.



When you reheat it with a toaster, it feels like it's freshly baked so that butter drips! The buttery flavor that spreads slowly at the moment when it bites. The rich scent of Esile butter fills your mouth, and the richness and umami that exudes as you chew ...!



And when it comes to the exquisite firmness of the croissant dough ...! The delicate texture that crumbles lightly, the fluffy texture that embraces plenty of air, and the moist butter-rich mouthfeel. This is the end once you eat it, it's completely devilish food.


Both salted butter, which has a moderate saltiness that enhances the taste of butter, and unsalted, which allows you to simply enjoy the deliciousness of wheat and butter, are the best.

By the way, "Croissant Echiré Tradition" (346 yen), which is easy to eat with 38% Echiré butter, is also very popular. Because it is the smallest number, it sells out in the morning.

◆ Bread au chocolat is also delicious

Another thing I would like to recommend is "Pain au Chocolat" (411 yen) with chocolate. The crispy croissant is very delicious with the moist chocolate.


When you cut it, the chocolate looks quite small, but in fact, it's surprisingly heavy and has a rich taste, so don't worry. The bitter cacao flavor and subtle sweetness coexist in a well-balanced manner with the butter flavor. Rather, it may become heavier if more chocolate is added.


Because it is a popular shop, there are many products that sell out quickly, but I definitely want you to try the croissants here (especially 50% boule)! You can also ask in advance if you still have the item you want to buy before visiting.
