Bread and coffee shop "Santino" in Himonya, Meguro, Tokyo. Retro and nostalgic with the theme of "warm old wisdom", but somewhere new bread is attractive. Produced by the chef of Yoyogi-Hachiman's popular bakery "365 days".

Among them, the bread "Black Hole" (238 yen, tax included, same below), which is " cut out the most delicious part of chocolate cornet", is very delicious and recommended! There is a gap in the cute appearance instead of the name.

◆ 4 textures in one bite

The bread is plump and chewy. It has a hollow in the middle and is packed with melty chocolate ganache and crispy chocolate croquembouche. The chocolate is quite bitter and rich!


Four textures, fluffy, chewy, mellow, and crispy, come in one bite. Satisfaction with the taste and texture! Although it is a little small, it has a good taste.

◆ Matcha x white chocolate

In addition, there is also a bread with a different taste called "hole in one" (238 yen). Matcha dough is packed with white chocolate ganache and white pearl croquembouche. It's like a white ball (although a little more) "hole in one" in the hole in the green!


When you bite it softly, you can feel the aroma of matcha and the bitterness and umami, and it goes well with the milky sweetness of melting white chocolate. It's different from chocolate, and it's so delicious! Anyway, the balance between matcha and white chocolate is exquisite. Please try this as well.

◆ Other delicious breads

Bread "Santino" (249 yen) bearing the store name. This is an original bread made by blending all the flour of Santino and baking it. The letter "3" is on the top. It is said that it is "Sun (3)" in the pun of Santino.


The skin is crispy and the inside is plump and chewy. The more you chew, the more the taste of wheat spreads. It's simply delicious, so it looks great with any side dish! Lightly toast, soak in butter and spread to make it even more delicious.


This is the bread "Forbidden Fruit", which is made by wrapping homemade dried apples in a dough kneaded with black tea. What a confusing name. The price is 195 yen.


The bottom is a crispy cookie dough, and a soft tea dough is on top. Slightly sweet and full of black tea scent! The crispy texture is also delicious like baked goods.

There is an apple that melts crisply in the middle, and when eaten with the dough, it tastes like fragrant apple tea. There is no reason why fruit and tea do not match.


Just looking at the bread lined up in the showcase makes me feel excited. Santino is particular about not only uniqueness and deliciousness, but also raw materials such as direct ingredients from all over the country and domestic wheat. Please try the additive-free, handmade bread that is made with great care! In addition to the Himonya main store, the store is also open at Ikebukuro Tobu (B1F).
